I think i'm a different kind of tech bro. The foss/Linux kind of tech bro. Am I fucked?
youre allowed to call yourself a hacker instead of tech bro then
What constitutes being a hacker?
Do you wear a hoodie and work in dark room?
Hoodie, no. Dark room, yes.
Sadly then you're relegated to the "simple nerd" designator...please go stand in the corner, you're blocking the line.

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.
Thanks, I work for Omarchy /s

Odd. A few of my buddies from grad school went to work for military contractors and if "I build inertial guidance systems for ballistic missiles" guy is happily married then maybe Palantir guy is just looking in the wrong place?
Most Americans don't care about defense contractors. They hurt foreigners we don't know, unlike Palantir which intentionally hurts Americans in addition to foreigners.
