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 😆

+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

Absolute proof of the horseshoe model, I am at ±10, I both love and hate technology with avid passion.

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.

Given that there’s technology baseline for even responding to your question, I think your results are going to be skewed.

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.

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

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

+7, IT professional that has a home lab where I cosplay as a system admin. I also agree people are the problem, not the tech or tools, and there are many times where I feel like a tech priest from 40k (they pray to the machines instead of knowing how they work) I do know some people that would classify as +9 or +10, they are wizards who spend their days pondering their orbs (screens).
