    Guilty of being Ricer. To answer the questionmakrs, I decided on Brave (again) recently, although in terms of theming, Firefox definitely offers more.

    The FSF member does not use libreboot anymore (not entirely free on some boards for a while now). See GNU Boot!

    “Has hundreds of messaging apps their friends won’t use.”

    Got caught.

      Hey, someone in the friend group has to test the apps ahead of time for when they all inevitably wake up and delete Discord, I can guide them to matrix or SimpleX! This is exactly how it will go right?

      Guys… where’d you go?

    I think we’re all in between conservative and newborn paranoid … for me, I love alpha/nightly, which LW doesn’t have, so FF it is. But I cope by telling myself that a properly configured FF is just as good as LW. And Signal is better than needing to use WhatsApp with family members.

    Years ago, when Telegram was relatively fresh, I convinced most of my friends and acquaintances to use it. I don’t know how I did it, but now that I want to get away from Telegram, I wish I could do it again.

    Please don’t misuse the term ‘paranoid’ like that. It’s a medical term for a serious condition and we really don’t need to start labeling ourselves like that, others already do that for us way too often.

        yes and important to note this applies to other terms as well. non-disordered people can experience temporary depression, anxiety and paranoia. the clinical terms are related but should not be conflated. paranoia can occur to anyone who is going through paranoia inducing circumstances, like marijuana, sleeplessness, or an authoritarian capitalistic hellscape.

        (there are terms that have no aclinical parallel, though, like OCD, dissociative identity, or intrusive thoughts. we all should be careful not to misuse these terms.)

        i do appreciate your sensitivity @Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de ! i think it’s just a bit misplaced. :)
