Reposting something I saw on r/linuxmasterrace a while ago. Which one are you? I'm somewhere between the Tech Conservative and Newborn Paranoid.

Which one are you?

Oh nice try government, I won't fingerprint myself in a public comment like some kind of sucker 😏

So tech paranoid then, got it /s

has hundreds of private messaging applications that their friends won't use

This hurts

Friends?
Can relate. Signal is luckily mainstream enough to bring some people in after some convincing.
- @Killercat103 @treadful I also do the same. But Siganl devs are kinda weird.

I've wanted to meet FSF member in real life for a long time. No luck so far.

As for Stallman, I find it sad that he has been right about many things. I will not do what he does but I appreciate the fact that someone like him exists and still fights for what he believes in.

This made me laugh more than it probably should

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 for the most part. I prefer FOSS, but I'm fine with using some propietary software

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

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.

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.
