I think I’m at like +3
I overall like new technology, but just a bit fearful at malicious people misusing it. Its not technology I fear, its the people.
I’m a tech guy, I work with it all day everyday, I love it and what we can do with it. But I also absolutely hate what’s being done with it. I love the tech behind generative AI, LLMs, automation, computers in general, Linux, etc. But man, when I see the shit being pulled by tech companies and governments, it makes my blood boil, and I’m genuinely terrified for the future.We could do so much better…
So probably a strong -6
Tech as in FOSS Hardware/Software, +6. Everything else, -10.
+10.i like technology itself, although a lot of time it’s executed /implemented poorly.
you like technology but you dislike capitalism
Technology after everything phones home -10
Technology before that +8
+9 by the same logic. But I’m biased because I’m an electrical engineer 😆
Technophilic +8 but some technology progression is utter shit :) Like ever larger phone screens, social media, some uses of LLM, non-open source software, most uses of public cloud infrastructure, subscription-based software services instead of owning things.
+2, I love what can be done with technology but hate what can be done with technology
Absolute proof of the horseshoe model, I am at ±10, I both love and hate technology with avid passion.
Given that there’s technology baseline for even responding to your question, I think your results are going to be skewed.
I’d say I’m pretty techophallic 🍆 I have more than a few Kickstarter beta products collecting dust, and I’ve broke my arch install over using the AUR
+2 despite writing a good amount of my own programs (mostly open source).
I just like making stuff on my own. New technologies are cool but I don’t really care about them. It’s not like I can afford them anyway. Even if they are FOSS it takes too much work to actually swap frameworks.
4, I am known to be reluctant to adopt new technology, IE, I don’t want to be a betatester.
I am a pendulum, swinging between both 10’s at a rapid frequency tha sometimes produces a sound loud enough to drown out my fits of rage at the stupid piece of shit technology that I just bought because it was cool
I would be more + if I had more money. At my income level I’m a luddite
I’m probably like a +7.
I’ve got raspberry pis, 3D printers, a flipper zero, and various other bits of tech, but I haven’t gone full Cyberpunk.
