MODERATORS
To be honest, Void doesn't belong in newborn paranoid. That distro is so so far from every other Linux distro regarding GNU philosophy. They're closer to the *BSD philosophy than anything else, but it doesn't fit nicely there as well. Generally, Void has this "if it passes all tests, we merge it" philosophy. It has a lot of proprietery software in the non-free repo.
From what I've gathered so far, their point of view is, if it works, why not use it (which is also my point of view to be honest, so I'm absoluteley fine with that). They didn't even go dark with their sub on reddit. There was a post asking what will the Void sub do about the protest, that post got deleted. Bascially, they see the sub as a means to an end, nothing more. They don't have to run a forum for troubleshooting problems, it's free (as in beer) and it works just fine. They probably don't use any mod tools or very little (it's a small sub), thus, this API thing doesn't affect them at all, so they see no reason to go dark.
I'm not even a tech conservative, I use Linux cuz it's fun and challenging, plus you learn new things all the time. Those are my main resons. Sure I could do the same with *BSD, but it's got a lot less software and drivers, so I just stick to Linux (mostly).
Definitely tech conservative
Tech conservative, with a bit of full-blown tech paranoid. I come across as a weird combination of tech-savvy and complete luddite for the laundry list of services I don't use. Not because they're proprietary, but because they offer me nothing I want.
Disclaimer: I use Arch, btw.
I feel like a weirdo compared to this scale. I use Ubuntu on my desktop and steamos on the steam deck but I also main chrome for my browser because as much as everyone else hates Google (rightly so) I actually don't mind their browser and I like the centralization of their services tied with having a Gmail account. And I have a pixel 4a. I'm weirdly into tech but I'm mostly a software Luddite.
The only tech normie icon I have installed on any personal devices is whatsapp. The rest are pure cancer.
I tick a few boxes across the rest of that spectrum. I land mostly in tech conservative.
I'd say I'm tech conservative although I am using Debian on my laptop.
mainly newborn paranoid, yet i have some qualities from tech conservative or tech paranoid
Dang, I just got stereotyped so hard as the tech conservative. Right on the nose with zorinOS and brave/firefox lmao
Tech conservative moving to newborn paranoid, depending on who I feel I need to hide from at the moment. I'm radically opposed to the concept of private corporations anyway.
I remember there being one more version with TempleOS users at the end
I'm split between 1 and 2
Im somewhere between ultra paranoid and conservative...
Im probably somewhere between the first four panels. Iβm debating about at least partly using Chromium again since some stuff I do doesnβt work on FF and like macOS and Windows the most since they (mostly) just work out of the box. However Iβm not comfortable with WhatsApp etc, am using Ubuntu and Arch on some machines and do prefer Open source for some software categories. And for some stuff Iβm manually checking the source code and am compiling it myself since Iβm paranoid. (Mostly password manager and similar).
I guess that makes me a tech conservative with a hint of newborn paranoid, based on the provided. But I don't think the name "tech conservative" is very fitting at all. To me those words would describe someone has been using Linux for 20 years and hates everything that is new just out of principle and will never change their mind (e. g. containerized apps, Wayland, systemd etc.). I couldn't be further away from that stereotype.
Am a tech conservative that watched Stallman's Ted talk and watch(Ed) luke smiths. Not not gonna lie tho luke is maybe a bit wacko but he's entertaining and often brings interesting points .
Lol last one is extremely funny. But I'm also probably covering the spectrum from "tech conservative" to "tech paranoid", ticking boxes of each of the three
I'm a tech conservative... π
i'm definetly newborn paranoid, but i actually belive opera and opera GX are great browsers nowdays
I'm some mix of the last 3
