I'm not a technical person. The circles I run in are. My wife works in tech, a lot of her/my friends are developers, programmers. I frequent the indieweb with all its 'roll your own' ethos. Its git and npm and bash that give me full-body chills. I'm really not a technical person. But there are people who, when filling their email address in on a form, will backspace through, deleting letter by letter, because they forgot to capitalise it. Starting again from the beginning. There are people who don't remember their email address, much less their password, who have it set up on one old phone because they couldn't get it on their newer one, who check it once a week or less. There are people - many people - who don't have an email address at all. One solution is training, classes. If people want to be online there should be support for them being online. Absolutely. Digital exclusion is a thing and it needs to be fixed. Accessibility needs fixing. These are all very important things!…
