Alternate title: The Tech Burnout

This is 100% me

Hey twin, lol

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Yes. I like this way better than “tech conservative “

Well except for the Arch part. I’m not a masochist.

[-] LGTM@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 21 points 3 months ago

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

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Hi do you need new friends who have the same 100 messaging apps ?

"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

[-] JovialSodium@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

Same, but I stay on Arch btw.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 23 points 3 months ago

I cant believe i have been called a conservative

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 6 points 3 months ago

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

Between tech normie and tech conservative

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 3 months ago

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

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I’m not sure I like being labeled “conservative”…

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 months ago

Conservative doesn't mean braindead.

It means keeping things the way they are. Like conserving the rain forest.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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!

[-] proceduralnightshade@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Hafty@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 2 points 3 months ago

No, paranoia is not a medical term but also a word used to describe a feeling most humans get from time to time

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 3 months ago

This is the most accurate mem I've ever seen

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

It's nice to have an old laptop to try things out. Good luck with the switch!

[-] hatedbad@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 months ago

this is BSD erasure

[-] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Korbs@lemmy.sudovanilla.org 2 points 3 months ago

I'm right between conservative and paranoid :) and want to stay there.
