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?

This is me
Fluffychat gang
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.
So what am I?
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

OS Macos

Services Signal/Fluffychat, Lemmy, qBitTorrent, Jellyfin, Bluesky, Nextcloud
I’m not sure I like being labeled “conservative”…
Conservative doesn't mean braindead.
It means keeping things the way they are. Like conserving the rain forest.
Oh I know this in my head. It’s the negative connotation that’s in my heart that’s the problem.

The FSF member does not use libreboot anymore (not entirely free on some boards for a while now). See GNU Boot!

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.
This is the most accurate mem I've ever seen
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!
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.
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.

this is BSD erasure
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
