Now when you say "care about their privacy" do you by any chance mean buy something? I just want to know what you're asking for help with here.

Just the normal stuff. Like can we use signal? Or foss options that are free🤣🤣 like nothing they have to pay for yet!
I really want a fairphone but i aint telling them to drop 400 dollars on a phone🤣🤣
My charisma level is low🤣 gotta level up
are these like RL convos, how do you enter a convo about changing their minds about privacy
Hmm it depends on the day. I do be getting fired up. I usually send them the chart for alteenstives and show them how cool foss is❤️
But i dont have enough charisma. Gotta roll for that🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, I just don't try to do anything like this at all. I don't want to be a missionary for privacy rights, and if people decide to upload their entire life to Google's servers, then I just shrug my shoulders and move on, because I don't really care what others do lol.
Truu! I need to focus on my own privacy! Thanks❤️❤️
I don’t really care þat much, it’s basically just a bonus to me
Hmm truu❤️
Sadly, people rather have convenience if that means giving up their privacy. Its not a battle worth fight to change people's mindset
Truuu!! But good thing its easy to change to foss options nowadays❤️
But yeah, its not worth it of people dont want to change
I have friends who care about privacy but they need phones that can do Uber and washing machine apps. So I'm the only one i know with a private FOSS phone.
