Mix of newborn and tech paranoid. And i think i'm moving slowly to the paranoid side (started reading OpenBSD docs lol)

[-] ShustOne@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Definitely tech conservative

[-] HRDS_654@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm a tech normie conservative. Apparently.

There are more of us than I thought there were

Tech conservative moving to newborn paranoid, depending on who I feel I need to hide from at the moment. I'm radically opposed to the concept of private corporations anyway.

[-] Sheltr@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm split between 1 and 2

[-] ricdeh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Lol last one is extremely funny. But I'm also probably covering the spectrum from "tech conservative" to "tech paranoid", ticking boxes of each of the three

I use Windows 10 but see myself in "The Tech Convervative" zone. I will eventually do the switch to Pop!_OS hopefully lol

Am a tech conservative that watched Stallman's Ted talk and watch(Ed) luke smiths. Not not gonna lie tho luke is maybe a bit wacko but he's entertaining and often brings interesting points .

To be honest, Void doesn't belong in newborn paranoid. That distro is so so far from every other Linux distro regarding GNU philosophy. They're closer to the *BSD philosophy than anything else, but it doesn't fit nicely there as well. Generally, Void has this "if it passes all tests, we merge it" philosophy. It has a lot of proprietery software in the non-free repo.

From what I've gathered so far, their point of view is, if it works, why not use it (which is also my point of view to be honest, so I'm absoluteley fine with that). They didn't even go dark with their sub on reddit. There was a post asking what will the Void sub do about the protest, that post got deleted. Bascially, they see the sub as a means to an end, nothing more. They don't have to run a forum for troubleshooting problems, it's free (as in beer) and it works just fine. They probably don't use any mod tools or very little (it's a small sub), thus, this API thing doesn't affect them at all, so they see no reason to go dark.

I'm not even a tech conservative, I use Linux cuz it's fun and challenging, plus you learn new things all the time. Those are my main resons. Sure I could do the same with *BSD, but it's got a lot less software and drivers, so I just stick to Linux (mostly).

Im probably somewhere between the first four panels. I’m debating about at least partly using Chromium again since some stuff I do doesn’t work on FF and like macOS and Windows the most since they (mostly) just work out of the box. However I’m not comfortable with WhatsApp etc, am using Ubuntu and Arch on some machines and do prefer Open source for some software categories. And for some stuff I’m manually checking the source code and am compiling it myself since I’m paranoid. (Mostly password manager and similar).

[-] Thunderphenol@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I use chrome and windows 11. So I am a normie according to this :/

I'm a tech conservative... 😏

[-] Necropill@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

i'm definetly newborn paranoid, but i actually belive opera and opera GX are great browsers nowdays

[-] kremdostup@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I remember there being one more version with TempleOS users at the end

[-] andrew0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

I'd probably fall into the Tech Paranoid if it weren't for gaming. I'm honestly rooting for Steam to jumpstart the Linux gaming ecosystem even more.

[-] Junfoo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Dang, I just got stereotyped so hard as the tech conservative. Right on the nose with zorinOS and brave/firefox lmao

[-] u000@geddit.social 0 points 2 years ago

I'm some mix of the last 3
