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
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
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 in 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.
