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

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

+9 by the same logic. But I’m biased because I’m an electrical engineer 😆

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

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.

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

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

+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.

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.

4, I am known to be reluctant to adopt new technology, IE, I don’t want to be a betatester.

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
