I have always been curious about this. Did you get them to use other services or did they stubbornly refuse and you just accepted it? I am talking using Chrome, using Windows, using social media like Tiktok or Facebook or Instagram, etc. Bonus points if you have kids because that is even more work in the privacy realm

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

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?

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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
