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
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.
Haha good meme. I'm a tech conservative for sure!
I use Mint btw
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.
This meme is so private that it doesn't even show up on Mbin.

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.
I’m firmly tech conservative, but I love MKBHD videos and my iPhone.
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.
No, paranoia is not a medical term but also a word used to describe a feeling most humans get from time to time
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!
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
