How to navigate family technology decisions using Ubuntu philosophy

My family agreed to evaluate our technology choices through an Ubuntu lens - asking whether each device and app brings us together or pulls us apart - but my teenager thinks this is just another way for parents to control their digital life and my spouse thinks I'm being too theoretical when they just want the wifi to work.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Different family members interpret Ubuntu-based technology evaluation as either meaningful values work or thinly disguised control, preventing genuine collective examination.
