was checking my old favourite posts and found this.
Alternate title: The Tech Burnout
This is 100% me
Hell that’s me, 1:1!
Hey twin, lol
“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?

You know the roblox chat app
Hi do you need new friends who have the same 100 messaging apps ?
This is me

“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 live between the tech conservative and tech paranoid with a splash of distro hopping.
Same, but I stay on Arch btw.
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 cant believe i have been called a conservative
TempleOS is the one true legitimate operating system
It is definitely one of the operating systems
This meme is so private that it doesn’t even show up on Mbin.
The FSF member does not use libreboot anymore (not entirely free on some boards for a while now). See GNU Boot!
GNU Boot is barely maintained. I would use Canoeboot instead, it follows the same philosophy GNU Boot does, and is way more up to date.
Well in fact, that’s not true they follow the same philosophy. See the GNU Boot talk at 38c3, but tldw is that canoeboot advocates for Libreboot and against RYF and so on. Btw, GNU Boot maintainers are quite active (see also the repo, I’m one of them).
GNU Boot is not against canoeboot as such, but Leah Rowe hasn’t the same philosophy (and does not follow FSDG)

Years ago, when Telegram was relatively fresh, I convinced most of my friends and acquaintances to use it. I don’t know how I did it, but now that I want to get away from Telegram, I wish I could do it again.
Guilty of being Ricer. To answer the questionmakrs, I decided on Brave (again) recently, although in terms of theming, Firefox definitely offers more.
This is the most accurate mem I’ve ever seen

Haha, didn’t even noticed the imgur URL. Looks like Lemmy proxies this tho.
I’m the Tech Conservative with an iPhone, uses the Fedora Distro as my ride or die at the moment! I feel pretty balanced…Though, I do have a desire to hop to other distros for a while before going back to where it all started: Ubuntu. Ubuntu started my passion for Linux; opened my world to FOSS, issues with Privacy, and viewing most companies with neutrality, unless they’ve shown their dark side!
Are you me? This is my tech journey also, including fedora on desktop and laptop, iPhone without any upgrades for last 3 years.
I might be if you started on Android but then transitioned to iPhone 15+ and iOS after Google started to cram too much LLM Bullshit into Android. Otherwise, I had been a Windows person first, before I couldn’t tolerate Microsoft’s BS any longer. I should’ve left some more tech history in there, but this meme is certainly my current self!
I think I got the first iPhone 3G. Then I moved to android and my last android phone was google pixel 3. Changed to iPhone 13 and been with that ever since. Similar tech history for sure.
For the most part, I agree! I started with a dumb phone, moved on to the Samsung series of Android phones up until the inevitable would happen. I really liked those phones too, as theming is a passion of mine! I did switch to the Pixel 7 Pro because I at the time, I wasn’t too distrusting of Google. Alas, if only the pivot to LLM BS never happened and it remained a mostly background affair. The autocorrect with better spellchecking/grammar were nice, but everything else is a PITA.
