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

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.
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
Lol using tails as a main OS. That’s 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
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
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.)
Yeah, it’s a meme, best not to overthink it, it does only make a limited amount of sense lol
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. 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.
“Wants to become a full paranoid but fears the slippery slope.”
I feel personally attacked yet fully approve this characterization.
I’m a 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
