  • I’ve thought about this myself during a phase of less that then perfect health. I think a somewhat practical solution is to have all passwords and documentation on how to use them/access the services that require them in a (online) password manager (so it stays current). Then have an USB stick with encrypted login credentials and OTP backup deposited at a notary and hand out the decryption key to a few trustworthy friends and family members.
    This way nobody can access your stuff and the notary can make sure to hand out the USB stick only to the one person you specified in your will. The other friends and family members are there as backup in case your “special” friend has lost the decryption key in the meantime.

    The alternative to an online pw manager would be a local one that you synchronize to your friends and only the notary has the key to unlock the database, which they only hand out according to your will.

    I’d love to hear about other solutions though. Maybe there’s a better option.

    P.S.: There are tools to have more redundancy on USB sticks and so on, so that bit flips/degradation can be accommodated. Multiple redundant data carriers are an option as well.


  • However, she also said that comparing AAVE to Yiddish is absurd because of how different the circumstances are in that people aren’t actively taking Yiddish phrases as their own without caring about the culture they come from.

    Well, we use quite a lot of Jiddisch words here in Germany, but I can guarantee you almost nobody even knows those are Jiddisch words, despite what their ancestors have done to the Jews.

    because that language and culture isn’t mine nor theirs to use, take etc.

    Okay, to me that just sounds like bullshit. You can’t dictate how other people are allowed to behave. You also can’t avoid it. If people are positively impressed by words or actions, they’ll copy them, no matter whether you allowed them to or not. There’s no copyright for culture (thank goodness).

    Maybe I’m just entirely insensitive to the topic and making an ass out of myself, but to me (an ignorant) this seems like totally made up nonsense.


  • British people in general are not oppressed by the general populace of most countries/the world.

    Okay, let me rephrase this. Am I not allowed to speak Jiddisch, just because I’m not Jewish?

    All they want is something that is theirs to stay theirs

    That doesn’t work with culture or language. It’s simply impossible. In fact it’s the opposite around. These things become more valuable the more people you can share them with.
