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.
I cant believe i have been called a conservative
Alternate title: The Tech Burnout
This is 100% me
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

Between tech normie and tech conservative
Someone who even it broke couldn't fix it because it's an Apple.
Tbf, I’ve never had an Apple product break from something other than water damage (RIP iPhone 5S). I mostly meant that regrading software and replacing devices when the old one still works.
i use that voyager
The FSF member does not use libreboot anymore (not entirely free on some boards for a while now). See GNU Boot!
"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?
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
I live between the tech conservative and tech paranoid with a splash of distro hopping.
Same, but I stay on Arch btw.
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.
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 meme is so private that it doesn't even show up on Mbin.
I’m firmly tech conservative, but I love MKBHD videos and my iPhone.
