I'm very bad at convincing people to care about their privacy (lemmy.world)

The title says it all. Part of what i do now is to convince people to care about their privacy. I know I cannot force people to do anything. And I have a charisma level of -1, if this was an rpg. Like its nonnexistent.

I feel lonely in general because it feels like people make me feel like I'm delusional for caring about protecting my privacy. Maybe there is a support group for that🤣🤣🤣

But anything I can specifically say that works best in planting a seed in people's mind?

Makes sense! I did linux mint this weekend on an old laptop. So i feel more confident in switching over on my real laptop.

I think we are at the point where we can use foss options and linux for all our needs and they arent hard to use. 🙌🙌 i agree

Yeppp one day im just gonna drop everyone my signal and move completly over there.🤣

Thanks so much❤️
