Seems like you’re prescribing a lot of opinions to the people you’re replying to. But if you go back and read what they wrote carefully you should see that your deductions and assumptions about what they think don’t really stand the test of reason and semantics. Especially given how much of a tech-focused forum this is. Every third post is about Linux - so realistically what are the chances that you are enaging with primitivists on here?

Linux is not a “scary nee technology”. It has been around forever.

Try to look for a positive view on any technology that has been blooming in the last 5-10 years instead. You’ll find few. At least I find few.

For instance, self driving cars are also hated. Digital currency instead of cash (not talking about cryptocurrency, just things like digital euro, or digital yuan). Any form of digitalization of anything that wasn’t digital until the last 5 years seems to be hated.

Welp, even smartphones seems to be hated. The other day I stumbled into a post where a lot of people said that they preferred old fliphones and where considering getting one instead of a smartphone.

Technobros used as derogatory term. Hell, even Luigi was being called out here for being a “technobro”.

Primitivism is on the rise. I wish it wasn’t, but it is.
