Today, I had an wild experience with a stranger.
Me and a colleague were working from a cafe when a lady in her 50s asked to interrupt us. She was having trouble accessing the tickets her husband sent her and wanted to see if we could help out. We decided to help out.
We did not foresee how technological illiterate that lady was.
- We had to reset her apple store password, which she spelled out loud while she was typing.
- Then, she had to sign-up on the tickets app which required a bunch of personal info (name, dob, ID number, etc), and of course she asked us to type them out because it’s hard for her.
In a few minutes’ time, the lady was happy to see her tickets on her phone, and we had our coffees for free and an awkward amount of a stranger’s personal info.
Of course, when I got home I phoned my mom to remind her not to share personal information with strangers.
Hi, just wanted to say thanks for all this.
I am a software engineer and I really regret not having the time to host my own server, reading your posts is the closest to the experience I can get right now.
I hope this is as fun as it looks!
I really need someone to tell me how to feel about this.
An army of 15 year olds with a mission to save lives is something pulled out of a novel, not real life.
Edit: After a few replies I feel even more confused and afraid.

Patiently waiting for this to fill up… I am trying to set up a blog these days, and I would love some good recommendations.
