Пять карикатурных типов пользователей технологий показаны в виде шкалы: от техно-нормиса, который любит крупные корпорации и покупает последний iPhone, до радикального члена FSF, использующего старое железо, свободное ПО и текстовые браузеры. Шутка высмеивает разные уровни паранойи, идеологическую приверженность свободному программному обеспечению и конфликт между удобством, приватностью и принципами. Мем отправляют как реакцию на споры о Linux, FOSS, Ричарде Столлмане и цифровой приватности. EN: Five caricatured types of technology users are shown as a scale: from a tech normie who loves major corporations and buys the latest iPhone to a radical FSF member using old hardware, free software, and text browsers. The joke mocks different levels of paranoia, ideological commitment to free software, and the conflict between convenience, privacy, and principles. People send this meme as a reaction to arguments about Linux, FOSS, Richard Stallman, and digital privacy.
