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.

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 😆

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.

+10.i like technology itself, although a lot of time it’s executed /implemented poorly.

+2, I love what can be done with technology but hate what can be done with technology

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.

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.

I work with it.

I dislike all new stuff because Most of it is garbage. After a few years I adopt the surviving stuff that I can see provides me with value, not just a monthly subscription.

+5 during work hours, -5 outside of them.

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

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’ve been running from my problems by immersing myself in tech, I’m not sure if that makes me like it more or less but I’ve gotten very very good at what I do.

Last night I set up an event ticketing service so friends can come to an event I’m hosting without me having to schedule them or manage capacity. Then I cried myself to sleep. -2

But I also get to set up stuff for my collectives to use, like nextcloud and wordpress and it’s awesome to be able to turn a grassroots bunch of ratbags into a semi-professional looking bunch of ratbags. +10
