Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Which one are you?

    Oh nice try government, I won't fingerprint myself in a public comment like some kind of sucker 😏

    So tech paranoid then, got it /s

    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

    Can relate. Signal is luckily mainstream enough to bring some people in after some convincing.

    @Killercat103 @treadful I also do the same. But Siganl devs are kinda weird.

    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.

    This made me laugh more than it probably should

    Between Tech Conservative and The newborn paranoid

    [–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    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.

    [–] spaceguy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    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.

    i'm definetly newborn paranoid, but i actually belive opera and opera GX are great browsers nowdays

    [–] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Tech conservative for the most part. I prefer FOSS, but I'm fine with using some propietary software

    [–] ralC@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

    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.

    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.

    [–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    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.)

    [–] DARbarian@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Newborn Paranoid 100%. I both fear and desire the slippery slope. Also, what's the browser next to LibreWolf?

    [–] Armando3996@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

    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 spend 95% of my day on Debian but I don’t like it. Definitely β€œTech Normie” according to this guide.

    [–] codyofficial@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

    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!

    [–] HRDS_654@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

    I'm a tech normie conservative. Apparently.
