I don't try and push my weird opinions on my wife lmao. She knows how I feel and understands and does what she wants and that's okay. My advice is to communicate and respect each other even if you don't agree and don't be a controlling dork.
I got my SO to use a password manager.
She got sick of pihole and my firewall blocking her Facebook memes, so she has her own segregated WiFi network, then she's less of an attack vector for me.
Aslong as she uses 2fa on her main accounts and has a password manager I'm happier than most.
bros the only sensible partner here
if one tries to push their techness onto their partner their partner is gonna get annoyed and leave. privacy hardly matters in the real world anyway
I mostly agree with you and frankly it is enough to have one friend who uploads their contacts to big tech firms with yours included and maybe tags you here and there and you are already uploading data without your consent.
Although what I see recently is that facebook fails to recommend anything interesting to me. I had to keep my account, but deleted everything from the day of my registration and haven't uploaded a single thing for years.
Lemmy.world always coming in with the dumb takes lol. Just go back to reddit if privacy doesn't matter
im using lemmy because the reddit app sucks not coz i think my data is safer lol
weird opinions?
on the contrary, I think it's a weird opinion to think that uploading personal photos and videos on surveillance capitalisme hubs is no big deal. It's a weird opinion to think that you've got nothing to hide from perverted companies and states.
I think you missed the point.
no, I see your point but you could have wrote: I don't try and push my opinions
you wrote "weird opinions" and in the context of this thread (see the op 👆), what do you think "my weird opinions" means?
From the perspective of our partners, privacy is often a "weird opinion". If you can't accept that it is a fringe area of interest in society then you are almost certainly isolated or living in a bubble.
it's weird to call something weird just because you think that "the society" thinks it's weird
have a weird sunday
so u think that whenever u do anything suddenly the big surveillance has a profile of you and theyre gonna kill you or smth. what do you think thats gonna happen.
is this irrational fear of some phantom big government coming after you, not weird?
u also just proved ur weird by getting so defensive about this. the goverment doesnt want ur number bro nobody does
no, I don't think that.
can you please show me where I wrote that
The straw-iest strawman argument that ever straw'd.
