I fall under Tech Conservative mostly, but I would like to edit the last 2 points to this for myself:
“Believe every publicly traded company is inherently evil”

Grats on Arch Linux install, S-tier distro for what it attempts to accomplish.
It feels like there needs to be a category in between conservative and paranoid. I’m probably 90% of the way over to tech paranoid but using Tor Browser and Tails is a little much.

Also the middle should be called Tech Centrist or Tech Social Democrat, daring to use the projects from philosophical minorities is not conservative at all.
- Corgana ( @Corgana@startrek.website ) 4•1 year ago
Conservatives are always trying to make themselves seem “cool and different” like the middle guy in the meme. Being anticonsumerist, pro-privacy and pro individual liberty is far from actual conservative policy goals but they obviously have to pretend otherwise.

Conservative means “not extreme”
E.g. conservative estimates
- a_statistician ( @a_statistician@lemmy.ml ) 5•1 year ago
Words can have multiple meanings - it might be best to find one that doesn’t have the same baggage that conservative has, such as “risk-averse”
- oce 🐆 ( @oce@jlai.lu ) 4•1 year ago
Not extreme is rather moderate. Conservative estimate means there’s a tendency to not change what was estimated in the past. Moderate would mean that a small change would be accepted.

What does MKBHD have to do with this? He’s just a tech reviewer who kinda fits between tech normie and tech conservative

- borlax ( @borlax@lemmy.borlax.com ) English25•1 year ago
The fact that the favorite OS of the tech conservative is an Arch based distro and and a Debian based distro instead of pure Arch or Debian makes this meme inaccurate.
- CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) English8•1 year ago
Tails is also total ass as a daily driver. I know, I did it for a long time before the lack of persistence was such a pain I had to give in. Like, you can save in your data partition, but having to install/configure everything on each boot sucks, and if you made the system partition writable it would defeat the point of Tails.
- borlax ( @borlax@lemmy.borlax.com ) English9•1 year ago
I don’t think Tails, backtrack, kali, and similar distros were ever intended to be daily drivers. I’ve only used them as live ISOs to leverage their very specific toolkits.
- CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) English6•1 year ago
They weren’t. Or at least Tails wasn’t. I did it anyway.

I’m a software engineer that uses windows and firefox, has no social media accounts (minus message boards), and owns a google pixel. Be confused. You can’t stop me.
- tinykingdoms ( @tinykingdoms@lemm.ee ) English10•1 year ago
This is the way. Because all the rest of that other stuff is fine and dandy… but I gotta work, and jobs often requires a Windows environment. Video games are plug n’ play w/ windows. I know about proton, but for now… it still isn’t perfect. Firefox because it works just as well as Chrome without the feeling of Google overseeing everything. Most social media has turned to constant ads and trash, and Pixel because Apple locks down their phone with little to no customization.
- Sparking ( @spark947@lemm.ee ) English1•1 year ago
If proton can handle starfield at launch, its jover for windows.

Tech normie also uses VS Code as a text editor sending data to Microsoft & using proprietary plugins.
- voxel ( @vox@sopuli.xyz ) English16•1 year ago
tbf vscode is a decent, open-source editor with great support for Rust (it’s rust-analyzer’s primary platform with nvim and Clion on the second place)
(but the official ms packages ship with a custom config with ms telemetry, branding and marketplace)
basically just use code(oss) or vscodium instead of binary vscode releases- toastal ( @toastal@lemmy.ml ) English7•1 year ago
Most of the language servers can run with Vim, Neovim, Helix, Kakoune, or Emacs as you noted. You could run VS Codium if you’re the “Tech Conservative”, but ultimately if you’re going all the way to “Tech Paranoid”, you won’t touch VS Code or Codium knowing Microsoft is steering the ship with another EEE plot in mind. It’s all a part of that package with Microsoft™ GitHub® + Codespaces® + Copilot® trying to vendor lock-in the developer experience into the platform.
- expr ( @expr@programming.dev ) English5•1 year ago
It’s “open source” as a technical matter, but the fact is that plenty of common extensions are still strictly controlled by Microsoft (like say, Live Share) and can’t be used with vscodium due to licensing. It’s a pretty useless editor without extensions, and the marketplace isn’t exactly “open”, either.
- voxel ( @vox@sopuli.xyz ) English3•1 year ago
most extensions I use are available on openvsix
don’t care about proprietary C++/C# debuggers because I use CodeLLDB (with Rust-analyzer).

That’s still Cult of vi. It counts. But you have to choose one side & fight for it til you’re freed of your mortal coil.
