Once seen as nerdy but harmless innovators, men in tech are now widely regarded as red-pilled Elon Musk wannabes. It’s made getting laid a whole lot harder.

      Just gotta find a woman who pays for Google One and save her $ every month by hosting her files.

      Bonus: she’s locked into your ecosystem (don’t do this)

      Nah, being a man who’s into tech is a necessary but not sufficient condition to being a “tech bro”. That term has a whole bunch more baggage and I think very few people on the threadiverse qualify.

      What you described is the polar opposite of the work done for Palantir.

      You’re fine and noble. Just keep being you.

      We need a different term for the non-evil tech bros. That one’s been tainted.

      If you go back to the 70/80s, computer guys were really nerdy hippies trying to hack consciousness itself and build new ways of relating…

      What happened to tech kinda parallels what happened to Christianity.
