Warning, this is going to be a wall of text but I'll keep it as lean as possible.

What do you think, will a relationship work if the man is the technical one, uses Arch Linux OS on his device, a custom ROM on his mobile device instead of Android (that is if it's not a flip phone), encrypted his devices and data and uses strong passwords, decentralizes everything, that he uses, that he can decentralize (avoids the know your customer central exchanges such as Binance and uses something like Electrum instead), avoids using those tech giants services (especially Google and Microsoft and their email services and instead either uses something like Proton, Tuta or self-hosts his own and private Email provider) and staying off from social media (meaning he has no account on there to begin with) and resists mass surveillance and privacy violating things and trying as much to stay under the radar whenever possible and avoids using Whatsapp and instead uses Signal, the messaging app, that Edward Snowden has endorsed while his girlfriend/wife/woman is a stark contrast to it: She is avid on social media, posting regularly about many things including her private life and activities and very openly stating her personal opinions in such public places, consuming content on Tik Tok and Instagram and the likes, uses either Windows 10 or 11 or MacOS with Apple devices, has an iPhone, uses Apple products and services, maybe uses a Google account with google services like Gmail, hides nothing, has a weak if any password, uses privacy violating mainstream apps like Whatsapp and doesn't really mind the cuckware, that came preinstalled with her devices.

(This has got to be the longest sentence I have written)

Can such a relationship work or even prosper?

In my experience even just not being on social media has yielded me reactions from people, that can be described as me wearing an aluminum hat. Or those weird questions like "Who/what/why are you hiding?" like i'd tell ya, you fkn idiot

Chinese hackers who are believed to have burrowed deep into US communications networks targeted data from phones used by both men.

Investigators are working to determine what communications data, if any, was taken or observed by the sophisticated penetration of telecom systems, according to anonymous sources in this active & highly sensitive national security case.

The type of information on phones used by POTUS/VPOTUS could be a gold mine for the Chinese: Who they called & texted, how often they communicated w/ certain people, & how long they talked to those people could be highly valuable to an adversary like China. That sort of communications data could be even more useful if hackers could observe it in real time. It's was unclear whether the hackers could have gained access to unencrypted texts.

Mr. Trump’s team has also been targeted by Iranian hackers, who have repeatedly targeted his inner circle w/ spearphishing emails that were partly successful in gaining access to his campaign’s communications & documents.

The investigation into the extent of the hacking a/& any national security damage is in its early stages. Whether such an attack could monitor or record phone conversations is difficult to know, & whether the hackers could read or intercept texts, for example, would depend on which messaging apps the targets used & how that data moved over Verizon's systems.

The WSJ reported last month that a cyberattack linked to the Chinese government had infiltrated some US broadband providers’ networks & might have been able to get information from systems used by the federal government in FISA court wiretap efforts.
