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.

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

Agree with all of the above and especially this. It’s counterintuitive for me - I’ve spent a lot of time and money to set up privacy conscious services for myself and my family over the years. But practically speaking, our lives wouldn’t be any different if I hadn’t.

I still do it and invest it it because I think privacy is a fundamentally important human right, but I have to recognize that it’s my own passion and not someone else’s.

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.
