I got permission from her, so my GF is @PieInTheSky@feddit.online

    wife followed me to signal, reddit -> lemmy, and linux.

    She got there on linux before me when her win 7 computer broke down and I reanimated her old laptop with linux (although a light version of ubuntu) I’ll be joining her soon; if you want me to use something debian based that isn’t Ubuntu studio, hit me up with recs in this thread : https://lemmy.world/post/35450797?scrollToComments=true

    Yes, she actually joined recently - I hope she starts posting too, her art is great and more people should see it. Not giving a handle for now because she’s shy.

    He got an account just to spy me on here from time to time (I mean it in a cute way), but I don’t think he has any interest of actually using it, for now at least. He’s not really a “social media” person, Instagram is like his “main platform” but only because all his friends are there lol

    He has shown interest in my “decentralization journey” (for lack of a better term, I guess) because we share similar values and he recognizes that moving traffic to popular social media websites like Instagram or Twitter is harmful because the parent companies are awful (less focus on privacy, more focus on environmental impact and political issues). Got him to use Bluesky instead of Twitter because of this.

      keep being a good influence; get anyone and all that you can in the good fight against centralized corporate control.

      somehow.

      The barrier for entry between consoles and PC is basically identical at this point, and they’re both easy enough that anyone but infants and late stage dementia sufferers can access these days. I imagine only those with an interest in the actual hardware would be relegated to family tech support

        Not sure if I agree with you. consol os’s are so much more simple than full a full desktop os, everything makes much more intuative sense and there are less complications you need to worry about. And of course you don’t need to spend any time learning about the different types of hardware and all the compatibility issues or if your buying prebuilt it can be overwhelming with all the different companies and selections. In the consol market there are 4 options really: ps5, ps5 pro, xbox s and xbox x.

    No, the fedi is still mostly tech/privacy enthusiasts which doesn’t really describe her.

      Is it though? I see a lot more non-tech people there day by day. Lemmy might be more niche cause of network effects
