<p>Chrome Web Notifications are also a complete dumpster-fire. In my experience the average older folk has no idea what web notifications are. They accidentally enable notifications from shady websites over time, and then blindly believe the web-spam notifications being pushed to their phone informing them *HELLO YOUR PHONE HAS VIRUS DOWNLOAD "CLEANER APP" TO FIX BEFORE PHONE DIE* is legit.</p>

<p>Honestly I'm surprised that rather than trying to build stupid backdoors and such, tyrannical governments don't just try to make a encryption key database. They hold ALL the keys and can get into anything they want, anytime they want. If you get caught with keys or encrypted data they can't access, punishment ensues.<p>Like if you're gonna try to eliminate privacy and freedom, just be honest and open about your intentions.</p>

<p>Security sucks to the average joe. I tried to help my Mom set up 2FA and...it didn't work out well.<p>Most average people are just confused by it, but it's so important for security the focus shouldn't be getting rid of it, but figuring out how to make it buttery smooth to use.</p>

<p>Related: Too much of technology today doesn't pay attention or even care to the less technologically adept, either.<p>Smartphones in my opinion are a major example of this. I can't tell you the number of people I've meet who barely even or don't even know how to use their devices. It's all black magic to them.<p>The largest problem is the over-dependence on the use of "Gesture Navigation" which is invisible and thus non-existent to them. Sure, they might figure out the gesture bar on an iPhone, but they have no conception of the notification/control center.<p>It's not that these people are dumb either, many of them could probably run circles around me in other fields, but when it comes to tech, it's not for a lack of trying, it's a lack of an intuitive interface.</p>
