was checking my old favourite posts and found this.
TempleOS is the one true legitimate operating system
It is definitely one of the operating systems
“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

“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

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.

Waterfox ? Why ?
It’s on the privater side but runs well and support Firefox extensions.
Is it firefox with better privacy settings ?
It is its own browser, but it uses Gecko.
Ohh ok
I thought that it was just another firefox fork
It is just Firefox.
…In need of a hug?
i use that voyager
I cant believe i have been called a conservative
Alternate title: The Tech Burnout
This is 100% me
Currently at the crossroads from newborn paranoid into either this or tech paranoid, it’s so joever
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.
I live between the tech conservative and tech paranoid with a splash of distro hopping.
Same, but I stay on Arch btw.

Haha, didn’t even noticed the imgur URL. Looks like Lemmy proxies this tho.
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
I’m firmly tech conservative, but I love MKBHD videos and my iPhone.
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.
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.
Small-p paranoid. It’s been an adjective forever.
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 @Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de ! i think it’s just a bit misplaced. :)
Mmh, I see. This might be either a difference in language or culture then. 🤔 In german it would not just be very rude to call someone paranoid, it’s also definitely rhetorically linked to a state of mental illness (basically telling them they’re fucked in the head / crazy). At least where I’m coming from.
ah yeah that makes sense :) certainly a regional/language thing. from my perspective, the word more just means an emotional state in the same way anxiety is an emotional state. disordered behavior or insult is not implied unless it’s explicit.
No, paranoia is not a medical term but also a word used to describe a feeling most humans get from time to time
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!
Are you me? This is my tech journey also, including fedora on desktop and laptop, iPhone without any upgrades for last 3 years.
I might be if you started on Android but then transitioned to iPhone 15+ and iOS after Google started to cram too much LLM Bullshit into Android. Otherwise, I had been a Windows person first, before I couldn’t tolerate Microsoft’s BS any longer. I should’ve left some more tech history in there, but this meme is certainly my current self!
I think I got the first iPhone 3G. Then I moved to android and my last android phone was google pixel 3. Changed to iPhone 13 and been with that ever since. Similar tech history for sure.
For the most part, I agree! I started with a dumb phone, moved on to the Samsung series of Android phones up until the inevitable would happen. I really liked those phones too, as theming is a passion of mine! I did switch to the Pixel 7 Pro because I at the time, I wasn’t too distrusting of Google. Alas, if only the pivot to LLM BS never happened and it remained a mostly background affair. The autocorrect with better spellchecking/grammar were nice, but everything else is a PITA.
