no thanks

let's say that VPNs are compromised and "they" know that you're downloading "illegally"

in order to prosecute, "they" have to prove you're a pirate and show how they know

"arguments" alone don't suffice.

a demonstration of how easy it is to use proton drive (to share videos and millions of photos she's going to dump on relatives who are barely interested in seeing another baby photo) and protonMail would be more convincing.

Privacy interfaces have evolved to be attractive to lambda users.

when it comes to your wife uploading your daughters photographs to google servers, she can't decide alone: you share the authority (but would this argument matter in a marriage? No?

would having a protonMail matter if the photographs are attachments and recipients have gmail? No.

good luck. Not an easy task

yes, online, on these internets, defending yourself is a waste of your time and energy.

Let's say that they were rude. Wouldn't it be a better solution to block them and go do something else, instead of spending all this time on these 2 threads and pMessages and screenshots

What were you defending yourself from? A disagreement on a lemmy thread 🙄 on a relatively inconsequential subject 🤦

Daily life is abrasive enough; if lemmy became another source of stress for you, just cut it off.

did you too lose your earingle?
