Alternate title: The Tech Burnout
This is 100% me
Hell that's me, 1:1!
Hey twin, lol
Yes. I like this way better than “tech conservative “
Well except for the Arch part. I’m not a masochist.
Currently at the crossroads from newborn paranoid into either this or tech paranoid, it's so joever
"Has hundreds of messaging apps their friends won't use."
Got caught.
Hey, someone in the friend group has to test the apps ahead of time for when they all inevitably wake up and delete Discord, I can guide them to matrix or SimpleX! This is exactly how it will go right?
Guys... where'd you go?

You know the roblox chat app
Hi do you need new friends who have the same 100 messaging apps ?
This is me
Fluffychat gang
"Uses MullvadVPN on lockdown mode" Literally me because seflhost with a router that doesn't have NAT loopback support. Gotten tired of using workarounds that eventfully broke. lmao
I live between the tech conservative and tech paranoid with a splash of distro hopping.
Same, but I stay on Arch btw.
I cant believe i have been called a conservative
I think we're all in between conservative and newborn paranoid ... for me, I love alpha/nightly, which LW doesn't have, so FF it is. But I cope by telling myself that a properly configured FF is just as good as LW. And Signal is better than needing to use WhatsApp with family members.
Yeah, I guess so. The slippery slope is real though.
TempleOS is the one true legitimate operating system
It is definitely one of the operating systems

This meme is so private that it doesn't even show up on Mbin.
Haha good meme. I'm a tech conservative for sure!
I use Mint btw
The FSF member does not use libreboot anymore (not entirely free on some boards for a while now). See GNU Boot!
GNU Boot is barely maintained. I would use Canoeboot instead, it follows the same philosophy GNU Boot does, and is way more up to date.
Well in fact, that's not true they follow the same philosophy. See the GNU Boot talk at 38c3, but tldw is that canoeboot advocates for Libreboot and against RYF and so on. Btw, GNU Boot maintainers are quite active (see also the repo, I'm one of them).
GNU Boot is not against canoeboot as such, but Leah Rowe hasn't the same philosophy (and does not follow FSDG)
Years ago, when Telegram was relatively fresh, I convinced most of my friends and acquaintances to use it. I don't know how I did it, but now that I want to get away from Telegram, I wish I could do it again.
Currently on a very locked down version of firefox but also windows, though I've been experimenting with mint on an old laptop in prepration for a switchover.
It's nice to have an old laptop to try things out. Good luck with the switch!
This is the most accurate mem I've ever seen
Guilty of being Ricer. To answer the questionmakrs, I decided on Brave (again) recently, although in terms of theming, Firefox definitely offers more.
I’m firmly tech conservative, but I love MKBHD videos and my iPhone.

Haha, didn't even noticed the imgur URL. Looks like Lemmy proxies this tho.
I'm the Tech Conservative with an iPhone, uses the Fedora Distro as my ride or die at the moment! I feel pretty balanced...Though, I do have a desire to hop to other distros for a while before going back to where it all started: Ubuntu. Ubuntu started my passion for Linux; opened my world to FOSS, issues with Privacy, and viewing most companies with neutrality, unless they've shown their dark side!
Are you me? This is my tech journey also, including fedora on desktop and laptop, iPhone without any upgrades for last 3 years.
I might be if you started on Android but then transitioned to iPhone 15+ and iOS after Google started to cram too much LLM Bullshit into Android. Otherwise, I had been a Windows person first, before I couldn't tolerate Microsoft's BS any longer. I should've left some more tech history in there, but this meme is certainly my current self!
this is BSD erasure
I'm right between conservative and paranoid :) and want to stay there.
I've been wanting to transfer my computer to Linux for years now, but I don't want all my mod lists to go up in flames
Besides that, I'm smack bang in newborn paranoid
Please don't misuse the term 'paranoid' like that. It's a medical term for a serious condition and we really don't need to start labeling ourselves like that, others already do that for us way too often.
Small-p paranoid. It's been an adjective forever.
yes and important to note this applies to other terms as well. non-disordered people can experience temporary depression, anxiety and paranoia. the clinical terms are related but should not be conflated. paranoia can occur to anyone who is going through paranoia inducing circumstances, like marijuana, sleeplessness, or an authoritarian capitalistic hellscape.
(there are terms that have no aclinical parallel, though, like OCD, dissociative identity, or intrusive thoughts. we all should be careful not to misuse these terms.)
i do appreciate your sensitivity @[email protected] ! i think it’s just a bit misplaced. :)
No, paranoia is not a medical term but also a word used to describe a feeling most humans get from time to time
