YSK: You don't need Gmail to create a Google account
YSK: You don't need Gmail to create a Google account - Lemmy.World
# Why YSK: A Google account is not the same as a Gmail account, and you don’t need to create a new email (Gmail) account to have a Google account. I’ve spoken to many different people who equate a Google account to a Gmail account. This is not the case. Unfortunately, this leads to many new Gmail accounts being created, solely because they think that they need to have a Gmail in order to access other Google services. Here’s the gist: A Google account gives you access to Google services like Sheets, Docs, Calendar, Drive, Photos, Gmail, YouTube, etc. A Gmail account is an email service account with Google. When you create a Gmail, you also create a Google account by default. However, the reverse is not true. If you create a Google account (with a non-Gmail email address), it does not automatically give you a Gmail account. If you already have an email account with another provider, you can use that as your Google account. For example: Let’s say your email is [email protected]. Rather than creating [email protected], you can opt to create a Google account with [email protected] and avoid creating an account for Gmail. Unfortunately, Google tries to get you to create a Gmail account during the process of creating a Google account. (see image). It’s important to differentiate this and prevent people from registering new Gmail accounts unnecessarily.

Are SynoCommunity packages included in HyperBackup (or elsewhere for backup)?
Are SynoCommunity packages included in HyperBackup (or elsewhere for backup)? - Lemmy.World
Recently learned about the SynoCommunity [https://synocommunity.com/] packages, but I saw this comment [https://imgur.com/a/TzNBFeH] for a package that HyperBackup might not recognize a package and thus not back it up. However, it was unclear if it was for the particular package, or if this is a shortcoming of the SynoCommunity packages—since it’s a third-party thing, maybe it applies to all SynoCommunity packages. Does anyone know if installing a package via SynoCommunity can be backed up through HyperBackup (or another way)? Thanks.
