  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

My mom calls me every 3-4 weeks to ask how she can copy photos from her phone to her laptop. She's been doing that for years and years, she should know the process by now, it's really not hard at all.

I installed Bitwarden for her 2 years ago on her phone and in Firefox, she hasn't needed a single support call about it and actually transferred two decades worth of logins two Bitwarden by herself.

My point is, if my mom can do it, then you have no excuse.

I tried something similar with my mom. Unfortunately she couldn't handle it and stopped trying to use it after a few days, then went back to the old horrible habits of memorizing everything (except not, then getting frustrated). I realized I can't save everyone ๐Ÿ˜•

OK, maybe I was a bit harsh. Everyone being on lemmy personally has no excuse, their parents might :D
