Friends?
Can relate. Signal is luckily mainstream enough to bring some people in after some convincing.
This made me laugh more than it probably should
Between Tech Conservative and The newborn paranoid
Definitely tech conservative. I’m aware of all the problems with big tech and closed source software but I’m not going to jump through major hoops to make sure I’m adhering to Stallman’s principles.
Between conservative and newborn paranoid. I use Fedora and Firefox, but (microg) LineageOS and F-Droid on my phone. Also I don't know what half of those apps are but I'd like to use matrix.
you want somebody to admit that they were tech paranoid? nice try, luminescent americans
Tech Conservative here but don't 100% agree with the icons shown. Everyone has their own needs and reasons to be the way they are and that's ok.
What's the problem with e-books? Even more the ones you download into your computer and open with okular or some emacs e-pub mode?
(Anyway, I don't know what half of those icons are.)
I'm in the same boat. I feel like going any further than Newborn Paranoid and you start sacrificing so much of your time, money and convenience it's not worth it anymore.
i'm definetly newborn paranoid, but i actually belive opera and opera GX are great browsers nowdays
I spend 95% of my day on Debian but I don’t like it. Definitely “Tech Normie” according to this guide.
Honestly, I know it may not feel like it, but any linux usage, or even an understanding of what linux is, pretty much knocks you out of tech normie territory. One of us! One of us!
I'm a tech normie conservative. Apparently.
