With every passing year, little by little I go deeper to the privacy paranoid side.
But my focus is way more anti big corporation than pro privacy, that fact those are almost one and the same is mostly a side effect for me.
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)

Tech conservative, apparently. Although fuck big tech, you can achieve the sake thing with decentralised federated services or blockchain (in some cases).
I think I'm somewhere in between two and three.
Self-hosting podcast is paranoia??
How the fuck is Telegram after WhatsApp?? Telegram has some of the worst privacy while WhatsApp is at least end to end encrypted.
Who is MKBHD ? I was addicted to luke smith once , but now i feel his views are bit too radical !!
I used to watch him a lot as well, especially for the specific Linux content. I got a bit put off by some weirder ideas but mostly forgot about it. Which idea's does he have now and which you particularly don't see yourself in?
I don't remember any specific ideas but I got turned off by his political rants eventually.
This may be a hot take, but in my experience most FOSS believers are either very right or left politically.
Hardcore (tech)conservative here. I will survive the AI doppelganger crisis.
I feel like WhatsApp should be in the middle. The app is terrible, but the messaging is actually encrypted. We paranoids also appreciate Signal, and Element disappointingly gets no play here.
Also:
*believes not every company is inherently evil*
It's kind of weird, then, how they all end up doing evil stuff, including the guys that explicitly set out with the philosophy "don't be evil".
We can all tell conservative is supposed to be the enlightened one, but unless the creator is using a very malice-driven definition of evil (as opposed to including accidental evil) this line is an own-goal.
Fuck anything created by Facebook. It wouldn't surprise me if the EFF released an announcement today saying that Facebook always had a master encryption key and have hard records of every conversation ever had on WhatsApp. Actually, I'd be willing to bet real money that is the case, if there was any way to actually resolve that bet.

Literally not possible, from what I've read of the scheme involved. I haven't looked over it myself but I trust Open Whisper.
How do you tell if someone is an Arch user? You don't, they will tell you.
I’m mix of second and last one
I guess I am a cross between “Normie” and “Conservative”. I use macOS and Fedora daily, I watch MKBHD but also watch FOSS YouTubers. I use WhatsApp, but only because, in Netherlands, it’s impossible to live without it. I don’t use any Chromium, and I use Firefox, but I also use Safari.
Fuck getting labeled.
You'll learn pretty soon that the really cool kids are running zOS
Firmly in camp conservative (yikes) Fav OS: Fedora Fav browser: Firefox Fav apps: Thunder and Element and technically feeder but only because I haven't had the energy to write my own rss feed consumer nervously in dart/flutter
I'm in the process of putting together my own next cloud and moving to proton mail. After that I'll be able to install bridges from a self hosted matrix to discord for people and teams for work. I use edge, outlook, and teams on my work computer but it occasionally connects to my home network so at some point I'll probably put it on an isolated vlan.
