What it means

A collage contrasts two kinds of people who claim to be into technology. The left side shows a mainstream tech enthusiast using services and brands such as X, GitHub, Apple, LinkedIn, Python, and Ethereum, while the right side depicts an intensely Free Software and Linux-oriented person surrounded by obscure projects, distributions, stickers, and opinions about Richard Stallman drama. The joke is that “tech” can mean casual startup culture to one person and extreme open-source ideology to another, making the opening claim hilariously incompatible.
