So tech paranoid then, got it /s
Hah, too late. You're already being linguistically fingerprinted by your grammar and word choice. Only option now is to not comment on public forums anymore I guess. π©
Unless you're behind like seven proxies, you're already fuckered.
has hundreds of private messaging applications that their friends won't use
This hurts
Between Tech Conservative and The newborn paranoid
same
Same.
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.
This is marvelous
βTech Conservative
Tech Conservative here but don't 100% agree with the icons shown. Everyone has their own needs and reasons to be the way they are and that's ok.
What's the problem with e-books? Even more the ones you download into your computer and open with okular or some emacs e-pub mode?
(Anyway, I don't know what half of those icons are.)

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.
"Wants to become a full paranoid but fears the slippery slope."
I feel personally attacked yet fully approve this characterization.
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.
Lol using tails as a main OS. Thatβs something.
OS ? nah that's bloated and adds too much security flaws, true paranoids use UEFI programs
True paranoids don't use computers. They build a wooden cabin in northern Finland, grow their fish from FOSS genecode since other fishes have microplastic tracker chips inside them now, develop a supernatural sense to see "glowie" auras, and only talk in smoke signals feds do not understand (It runs on the Matrix protocol) all while following FSF philosophy
Ahh, apex-level paranoid
Somewhere between Tech Conservative and FSF Member.
I don't care about Stallman as a person. I care about being able to use the software I like and not get spied on, and the FSF actively works to ensure I can do that, so even if trying to use all FSF-approved software isn't practical now they're still helping to make things better. They are an important counterbalance to the bullshit.
Tech conservative, although I have to admit that I like MacOS a lot. When it comes to Linux, I use and love Debian
Definitely tech conservative. Iβm aware of all the problems with big tech and closed source software but Iβm not going to jump through major hoops to make sure Iβm adhering to Stallmanβs principles.
I'm ashamed to say I brushed shoulders newborn paranoid before realizing I'm too much of a dumbass and then toned it back to Tech Conservative. Though I randomly use Tor for absolutely no reason other than just being a masochist I guess
I'm a tech normie conservative. Apparently.
I'm probably a tech conservative. I prefer FOSS, but will use proprietary software if I absolutely have to. Also I use arch btw
I was newborn paranoid at one point, and am starting to shift back to tech conservative
Tech conservative and will probably stay here for life. I really hate what the big tech corps are doing but feel like this is a sustainable level not just for me but for the general user. This is what we should have built out as the standard in the first place but money sure does ruin things fast and now we have a world controlled by Microsoft and monitored by Google
I'm a Tech Conservative.
Iβm between newborn paranoid and tech paranoid. I wish my friends and family would stop using spyware but itβs out of my control
Newborn Paranoid 100%. I both fear and desire the slippery slope.
It's qutebrowser, kind of like a more "suckless" fork of chromium. Also got an adblocker built-in, which is basically just a hosts file but for qutebrowser.
I guess I'm just a normie with some conservatism in him. π€·π»ββοΈ

I'm between newborn and tech paranoid. I run librewolf on gentoo
Same. Closer to tech paranoid for me I'd say. Only reason I don't run DWM + Gentoo anymore is because of time, but the control freak in me gets ever so tempted to reinstall it once again.
Tech paranoid is hard :( Going back to new born.
I use Windows 10 but see myself in "The Tech Convervative" zone. I will eventually do the switch to Pop!_OS hopefully lol
Tech conservative for sure. I own a tuxedo laptop with... Tuxedo os. I use opensource apps as much as possible. But I use Google tools too. For sure I hate Apple π
This made me laugh more than it probably should
I'd probably fall into the Tech Paranoid if it weren't for gaming. I'm honestly rooting for Steam to jumpstart the Linux gaming ecosystem even more.
I spend 95% of my day on Debian but I donβt like it. Definitely βTech Normieβ 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!
Mix of newborn and tech paranoid. And i think i'm moving slowly to the paranoid side (started reading OpenBSD docs lol)
