Brave being listed alongside Firefox
Bestie Brave is literally just Chromium again. Not to mention the fact that their CEO is someone who got ousted from Firefox for being a tremendous bigot. It’s not a better alternative to Chrome, it’s just the same thing again. It you must use a chromium browser, use ungoogled.
Brave also does sneaky shit with your data
Telegram being next to Signal is also questionable.
Unfortunately he’s also the inventor of JavaScript. Which makes the entire concept of Web 2.0 problematic by association.
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”
“Doesn’t morally support big tech, but uses some anyway”An important note to your last one is for some of us we don’t get an option. Work does everything with Office 365? Welp, guess you gotta use Microsoft products now 🤷
Same
You forgot “Only uses 10+ year old librebooted Thinkpad” on tech paranoid
For fellow paranoids:
Mullvad browser is a fairly new Firefox fork which aims to reduce fingerprinting potential while also having sane (paranoid) defaults. Developed with the Tor project. Basically the Tor browser but without connecting to the Tor network. Passes coveryourtracks.eff.org.
SimpleX Chat is a fairly new privacy oriented IM platform which seems to address many issues current ones have. Development is very active. E2E, video and voice calls, decentralized, doesn’t have user ID of any kind.
Do you know how Mullvad browser compares to Librewolf?
Tor/Mullvad are better for anonymity use cases, but when you go tweaking it (settings, add-ons) you are no longer blending in with the pack. LibreWolf suits a more privacy-oriented use case I think since it’s not aiming to mimic Tor, but just have privacy settings mostly maxed out & you opt into everything you are comfortable with, such as cookies—whereas base Fx you have to opt into more privacy.
I mostly use librewolf as a substitute for private browsing. Firefox is my go to for places where I log in
You’ll learn pretty soon that the really cool kids are running zOS
I’m mix of second and last one
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.
What if my favorite OS is Mac, my favorite browser is Firefox, and my favorite app is self hosted?
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.
🏳️⚧️ Congratulations on coming out and I wish you a successful transition. 🏳️⚧️
bruh
worst username award 🏆
Ty I couldn’t have done it without real life inspiration to guide me.
I use ms edge on linux. Evil laugh
i am litterally a 100% match with conservative wtf did you hack me (except I use XMPP for phone service, JMP.Chat is an amazing thing!)
Could I reach people using WhatsApp with this?
From memory you can, but that may have changed, there is a useful page ok their wiki that keeps track of all services that work and refuse to work with them since they use VoIP numbers and some companies refused to accept them
“I can’t live with modern tech anymore”
uses modern tech
A truly paranoid individual unplugs every piece of technology and uses nothing with screens, buttons or electricity going through it.
Your body uses electricity to send nerve signals…

“self-hosted alternative to nervous system 2023 foss reddit”
Monkey brain
The nervous system of humans has been corrupted by being fed data from the internet, alcohol, toxic people, society in general etc. A lot of people, understandably so, want to escape this and take control of their own brains, and by extension their nervous systems.
It is illegal to slice up humans and analyze the source code of our brains unless you have a licence. And we as consumers are not provided with all the data the professionals gather. Think about it. We aren’t even allowed to know what is in our own brains. This goes completely against the philosophy of Free and Open Source.
You can find monkeys in the wild. They are not an endangered species by any means, which means that people will only report you to the police because of disgust, not because you are breaking laws. [Note: I am not a lawyer and haven’t read the laws relating to animals deeply, I do not take responsibility for legal troubles you get in if any]. Rip apart the monkeys and you can see the brain and nerves in their full glory.
Now you may ask, why monkeys of all animals? That is because they are one of the animals closest to humans that an individual can realistically capture. You do not want to fight a Chimpanzee unless you don’t care a lot about your life.
You may realize that you don’t understand the brain even though you have it. No worries there. You can’t understand the code of any FOSS application you use either. The important thing is that the source is available to you without restrictions.
Another question you may ask is that “This is too primitive”. This is a misunderstanding. People(non-developers only) think the command line is primitive and outdated now that graphical interfaces exist. This is simply not true. We are simply going back to our roots.
To self host it, you can simply install its docker image. Now this is the tricky part, since we don’t have a traditional OS. Basically, primitive brains, all they do it eat, sleep, reproduce, and do dopamine releasing activities. All you need to achieve this is follow the following two steps. They are very simple and everyone can achieve it without any technical knowledge or difficulty.
- Reject modern humanity
- Return to monkey

No, nerves use cascades of ion potentials. Those are just triggered by touch or electricity.
Tech paranoid all the way, although not the same type of tech paranoid as Luke Smith. The only good computer is one you have the hardware schematics to (i.e. virtually none of them). Thinkpads are just another brand of overpriced laptop. Besides the occasional steam game, I heavily prefer FOSS only and will flat out refuse almost anything that has drm. My unlocked bootloader android phone is so heavily locked down with privacy stuff that I cause Google to lose money merely by existing.
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.
