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.

I live between the tech conservative and tech paranoid with a splash of distro hopping.

Yeah, I guess so. The slippery slope is real though.

TempleOS is the one true legitimate operating system

I’m firmly tech conservative, but I love MKBHD videos and my iPhone.

"Has hundreds of messaging apps their friends won't use."

Got caught.

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.

So what am I?

Someone who even it broke couldn't fix it because it's an Apple.

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.

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!

Between tech normie and tech conservative

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?

Small-p paranoid. It's been an adjective forever.

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

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.
