noun - a salute is a sign of respect. It is also a traditional way of showing your hand to make it obvious that you do not have a weapon in it so are not threatening.
A digital salute is a friendlier version of that - needing only a single finger. The middle one. Usually served with beer & friends.

Get the Digital Salutemug. " I swear to god, mate my auntie Kath will be the death of me. She begs (whines) for help over the same BASIC internet/computer functions over and over again, regardless of how many times I explain it to her! Some people just can't even tie their digital shoelaces if their bloody lives depended on it!

Get the Digital Shoelacesmug. TLDR; people who constantly travel (nomad) and constantly use computers (digital). The latter usually (but not necessarily) to generate income.
But there are these categories, broadly speaking. People who ...
1. ... have a remote job that they can do from anywhere who like to travel a lot.
2. ... have (usually new) money and confuse spending that on some sort of digitally administrable business that isn't sustainable with 'entrepreneurship'. While traveling.
3. ... scam other people by selling guides for how to become one of the above. While traveling.
4. ... record themselves buying, wearing, doing stuff that makes other, equally simple-minded people jealous. While traveling.
If they amass enough of aforementioned simpletons looking at their media, they may manage to generate an income from this.
Often people are in multiple groups.
Twenty years ago you would almost only meet digital nomads from group 1.
Nowadays they seem to be the minority.
Especially people who are rich often call themselves "digital nomads" because the following, better suited terms, sound way less cool:
affluent alien
made migrant
wealthy vagabond

Get the dirty digitmug. Loosing someone due to social media radicalization to the where they become unrecognizable. For example, loosing the accepting parent to the {radical} movement.
My mom became digitally estranged from me during the 2020 election.
The concept of digital estrangement describes feeling like you lost someone due to often rapid social media radicalization.
