When I used Facebook a few years ago, my feed was mostly memes, ads and personal posts from friends and family.
Maybe I never got the ragebait political stuff, because everyone in my friend circle wasn't keen on being the sad guy that publicly yells at clouds on facebook.
Popular hashtags on Twitter and to some extend even on Mastodon, just makes you feel bad for the mental health of these perma-raging users tho.
Political spaces in general on every social platform are just magnets for misery.
"Ragefarming" and "algorithmically filtering for rage" just means sorting by thread activity. Mastodon already does this.
Linux low market-share (in the desktop space) has less to do with marketing and more with the fact, that Microsoft has made many contracts with PC vendors and professional PC users everywhere.
Normies don't install any OS. Businesses don't want to waste time and money switching over to Linux.
Marketing in the OS space is practically irrelevant.
Hardware-wise: Samsung Galaxy S series or Sony Xperia
Software-wise: Google Pixel >>>>> Fairphone > OnePlus
I use the Kiwi Browser for that. Open source browser with addon support. Is Chromium-based tho.
PWAs don't work correctly in non-Chromium browsers. Firefox does not officially support them.
The gatekeepers of the website are like big babies towards "unbased food trends" like vegetarian or vegan stuff.
Basically anything that could not be found in a 18th century inn is unbased for them.
Otherwise a great idea for a site tho.
Maybe you could try to convince through other features, like sending sharper images, videos, audio messages or video calling etc.
If you get closer with her friend circle (or if she gets closer to your friend circle), you could propose to make a group chat, where you can keep each other up to date or plan future activities together. Your wife will probably not want to miss out on that.
Don't talk about encryption or security to normal people, who are not into tech. They do not care. Only talk about features, that they can actually use, and only in situations were this would be useful. Don't be preachy about your messenger use, don't make them feel stupid.
