I fall under Tech Conservative mostly, but I would like to edit the last 2 points to this for myself:
“Believe every publicly traded company is inherently evil”
“Doesn’t morally support big tech, but uses some anyway”An important note to your last one is for some of us we don’t get an option. Work does everything with Office 365? Welp, guess you gotta use Microsoft products now 🤷
I mean, work is work, you don’t get a choice in what product your company uses. My point was meant for personal use.
Same
How do you tell if someone is an Arch user? You don’t, they will tell you.
I tick all the boxes for the middle one
I’m between conservative and paranoid and watch mental outlaw.
Same, the best of both worlds and a weird cat thing
based.win
Self-hosting podcast is paranoia??
I’m a tech conservative?
Yes. The meme said so and it is now universally and unrefutably true.
Doesn’t sound right does it?
It’s the only time in my life that I’ll wear a conservative title with pride.
I am but I’ve used windows for about 25 years so 🤷♂️
Same, a I’m a tech conservative too, mostly though
I don’t trust big tech
Watches Luke smith. Based.
The fact that the favorite OS of the tech conservative is an Arch based distro and and a Debian based distro instead of pure Arch or Debian makes this meme inaccurate.

I would just use arch. Got nothing against Manjaro tho.
Tails is also total ass as a daily driver. I know, I did it for a long time before the lack of persistence was such a pain I had to give in. Like, you can save in your data partition, but having to install/configure everything on each boot sucks, and if you made the system partition writable it would defeat the point of Tails.
I don’t think Tails, backtrack, kali, and similar distros were ever intended to be daily drivers. I’ve only used them as live ISOs to leverage their very specific toolkits.
They weren’t. Or at least Tails wasn’t. I did it anyway.
Somewhere between Normie and Tech conservative?
Real bummer that Signal decided to shit the bed.
Wait what happened to Signal?
They stopped the dual support of both SMS and private messages (for “UX” reasons).
I’ve used it like 3 times since then, but to be fair, I have used it.
Yeah that really made it hard to convince normies to use it. Have you found a similar replacement that does e2e privacy if both using the software and sms/rcs as a backup if not?
Nope. I got nothing.
what does that mean im confused
Signal used to be an SMS (text message) client in addition to its secure IM protocol. If both people were using Signal, it would use the secure protocol, otherwise it would fallback to a text message. They removed the text messaging feature from Signal and now it’s a lot harder to convince normies to use it.
Previously: Hey replace your texting app with Signal, if two people use Signal you’ll be upgraded automatically.
Now: Hey use Signal, no one you know is on it and you’ll need to remember who uses SMS and who uses Signal.
whyd they do that
Likely one or more of the following:
- Perfect is the enemy of the good
- Revocation of the SMS/MMS API
- Support threatens security model
I think I’m somewhere in between two and three.
What a bunch of bullshit.
I self-host my stuff because it’s cheaper, I run Gentoo since the last 15 years and use Chrome because it’s just better and friendly. I also have a Xperia android phone and really, really don’t like MKBHD.
MKBHD
I had to look up what that even was… but I use something from each panel: I work in software with websites & apps, so I have all the browsers and OSs …
Likewise, that’s why segregating stuff in three panels is bullshit.
I’m somewhat curious as to whether you plan to switch to another browser when Google finally pushes Manifest v3 and/or Web Integrity API
I honestly have no idea what’s going to happen. Most probable outcome is I’ll run two different browsers based on what works for me. I stopped acting “ethical” about computing a long time ago, with some small exceptions. I’m not here on Lemmy because ethics, but because I’m fucking pissed at Reddit.
My answer is: Depends on how the adblocking works… there is no way I will ever go back to browsing the web without adblocking. I’d rather go back to using Links ;)
Where does Element/Matrix fit in here? It doesn’t really seem like Paranoid like XMPP since people have been using it pretty regularly now, not just paranoid people.
Between normie and conservative, I’m waiting for SteamOS to become publicly available to even attempt switching to Linux.
I’m curious: what feature(s) of SteamOS are keeping you from trying/switching to Linux?
If it’s Proton, you get that for free with any Steam install on Linux. I’ve been using it for the last couple years. (And it’s awesome)
Seconding this, steamos (or whatever is on steam deck) is just arch Linux with steam installed. They may have some extra little goodies in there… But nothing major. When you install steam on Linux, you can change a single option in setting and steam will download proton for you. You can attempt to run any steam game and most will work fine. Battlebit remasted isn’t officially supported, but it’s worked since day 1 on my arch install and I’m just using that since it’s the most recent hugely popular game.
As for me - can’t play Fortnite on Proton/SteamOS
Yeah, multiplayer games with kernel-level anti-cheat are gonna be real hard to support on Linux. I don’t know that we’ll ever have a good solution to that.
If true, that would be awesome if a new SteamOS became a Linux on-ramp (Debian base didn’t quite pan out).
Try out EndeavourOS. It’s based on Arch (Like SteamOS) and I have had no trouble with gaming so far.
I watched one HTML video 5 years ago, and now I’m using a De-Googled phone, Linux, and get a more paranoid than I should when I see and Echo Dot. This is not what I signed up for…
People care so much about the weirdest stuff.
