I cant believe i have been called a conservative
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.
I live between the tech conservative and tech paranoid with a splash of distro hopping.
Same, but I stay on Arch btw.

I’m firmly tech conservative, but I love MKBHD videos and my iPhone.
“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?
This meme is so private that it doesn’t even show up on Mbin.
So what am I?
i use that voyager
Between tech normie and tech conservative
…In need of a hug?
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.
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 @[email protected] ! 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.
No, paranoia is not a medical term but also a word used to describe a feeling most humans get from time to time
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
This is me
Fluffychat gang

hey i used arch btw but now i’m sticking with linux mint debian edition
“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’m right between conservative and paranoid :) and want to stay there.
Currently on a very locked down version of firefox but also windows, though I’ve been experimenting with mint on an old laptop in prepration for a switchover.
It’s nice to have an old laptop to try things out. Good luck with the switch!
