Depends. Does she know about my wife and kids?

[โ€“] DonPromillo@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't be worried about the files but more about my wife finding out that I have a girlfriend.

She tells me how intensly geek and boring my life is, before asking me to fix something on her computer.

[โ€“] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 year ago

A great deal of confusion, I imagine. I don't have a girlfriend, and since I rarely even leave the house on my own, I doubt my wife would believe that I do.

Girlfriend works at the NSA.

Tell her to stop spying through cpu management engines

Don't need to, read your comment while you were typing it

@original_ish_name

I'll just replace "girlfriend" with "wife" since I am married โ€”

Nothing happens. My wife knows me well. There isn't anything I think would surprise her.

It's all Linux isos and indie games and project files from game engines/programming languages that I got distracted from. If I had somehow convinced her that I was funny or interesting, all of that magic is now gone.

The only encrypted file I have is my kdbx.

[โ€“] Natanael@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

nothing because I am paranoid

It happen that she will leaves me, and not because horny stuff but mostly nerdy and videogames junks. Already happen actually and I see how many women looks a guy who lives on games stuff. You as man become a kid in the eyes of this girls.

But if she's your girlfriend, wouldn't she also be into games and nerdy stuff?

She'll be confused about the situation but it's not like I have any strange files or anything, if that's what you mean

[โ€“] Lileath@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Not much probably, even discounting the fact that I have no girlfriend I am so bad at keeping files ordered that it is pretty hard to actually find stuff by following file paths and even then the most incriminating things that I have are just loads of pirated games.
