Paranoid: Exhibiting or characterized by extreme and irrational fear or distrust of others.
Where's the irrational fear or irrational distrust ?
>Doing it on a scale that seriously degrades your quality of life is being paranoid
Yeah you see the issue with such argument is that it doesn't scale up when your opponents are actually tyrannical.
Not agreeing with some negative methodology and being directly or indirectly persecuted/excluded for not doing so it isn't paranoia. Thus why I referred to the definition of it.
>Picking the best tool you can for the job is the right thing
Picking the right tool to remove a teeth and passing by the rectum to reach the mouth isn't what I call a positive way of doing things.
Don't mistake software tools and path to a finality, your software tools will shape how you go to that finality.
>If you don't trust technology
I don't trust proprietary technology. Trust isn't innate, it builds itself, and there isn't a week where proprietary tech doesn't show it's negative influence.
>Get a cabin in the woods.
I wish I could.

Taking the fact that you might be watched into consideration is not irrational, living your life like you are always watched is.

There is nothing wrong with avoiding privacy intrusive things and choosing privacy respecting alternatives. Not doing something you want to do, in this case playing a game with a friend, only because you don't like DRM and there is no easy way to avoid it is somewhat over the top.
