      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. 😩

    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.

    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.

        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

    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.)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I’m between newborn paranoid and tech paranoid. I wish my friends and family would stop using spyware but it’s out of my control

        I think it’s cause “Firefox is good but could be better”. Type thing. I use Firefox and LibreWolf. LibreWolf is a hardened version of Firefox

          Ah, I see. I always liked Mozilla because they are non-profit and contribute extremely much to FOSS/FLOSS, but I will take a look at LibreWolf, thanks!
