was checking my old favourite posts and found this.
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?
Guilded
You know the roblox chat app
Hi do you need new friends who have the same 100 messaging apps ?
This is me

“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.
So what am I?
Between tech normie and tech conservative
Someone who even it broke couldn’t fix it because it’s an Apple.

Waterfox ? Why ?
It’s on the privater side but runs well and support Firefox extensions.
Is it firefox with better privacy settings ?
It is its own browser, but it uses Gecko.
Ohh ok
I thought that it was just another firefox fork
It is just Firefox.

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.
Same, hearing conservative word gives me not so good thoughts
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
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.
The FSF member does not use libreboot anymore (not entirely free on some boards for a while now). See GNU Boot!
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!
