Guilty of being Ricer. To answer the questionmakrs, I decided on Brave (again) recently, although in terms of theming, Firefox definitely offers more.
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.
“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?
TempleOS is the one true legitimate operating system
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.
No, paranoia is not a medical term but also a word used to describe a feeling most humans get from time to time
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!
this is BSD erasure

Hell that’s me, 1:1!
Hey twin, lol
This is 100% me
Yes. I like this way better than “tech conservative “
Well except for the Arch part. I’m not a masochist.
Currently at the crossroads from newborn paranoid into either this or tech paranoid, it’s so joever
I cant believe i have been called a conservative

I’m not sure I like being labeled “conservative”…
Conservative doesn’t mean braindead.
It means keeping things the way they are. Like conserving the rain forest.
Oh I know this in my head. It’s the negative connotation that’s in my heart that’s the problem.
Same, hearing conservative word gives me not so good thoughts
