Which is super ironic because it’s a corporate mascot that managed to become universally hated by everyone. Then again, those were simpler times, so modern companies would deserve much more than mere hatred.
You could actually turn Clippy off as well. Copilot doesn’t really go away, and you can’t trust Microshaft to re-enable via updates. Out of the two I’d much prefer the maligned Clippy.
Unfortunately Clippy would get randomly re-enabled, like all microsoft zombies, after an update. You never knew when it would come back to insult your intelligence.
Some teenage girl deleted a picture of herself on facebook and facebook marked her to sell beauty products to, because she must be insecure and therefor an easy target. Clippy never did that. Clippy was just there to help and had no ulterior motives. Every big company in the world has ulterior motives now. The clippys are meant to show them it’s been enough.
That is not true. The cycle is that someone with passion for the business creates the business and they are a good business. Than they grow and the creator can’t handle it anymore, because they are craftsmen, not business men. Than some business men step in and eshittify everything for profit.
The MS of the late 00s and the MS of now are no different ideologically. If they’d had the same tools and capabilities then, they’d have done the same.
clippy is now a right-to-repair icon. the idea is that if lots of ppl change their YT profile pic to clippy, people in power will feel threatened and cave in. or maybe corporations will see theres a market there and make repairable devices.
tl;dw please?
Clippy doesn’t want to steal your data. Clippy just wants to help.
It would if it could.
Clippy keeps working with no Internet.
It’s being used as a symbol against corporate greed

The irony is part of it, from what I can tell.
That Clippy, the universally hated useless feature, is still less shitty than what these companies are doing today.
Badgey was terrifying. Fucking love LD
Things have gotten so bad, that even Clippy begins to look acceptable. What a bizarre world this is.

OMG it’s been going on for decades now. That’s not a bug at this point — that’s a feature.

the big companies have always had ‘ulterior motives’ driven by their insatiable lust for more profits and higher share prices.

Thanks!

What’s “ppl”?
shorthand for people. im lazy
It’s an eight-minute video (and it’s Louis Rossman, so there’s about fifteen minutes of dialogue in it – highly efficient!)
Not to be rude, but you can afford to make time to watch the whole thing.
No, I can’t.
I refuse to waste 8 minutes listening to someone when I could read it in 2.
I don’t watch fucking videos.
Written erotica is better quality anyway.
Jokes aside, if your time is that important you’re probably also wasting it by browsing the fediverse. Good luck to you.

Seven whole minutes?! Oh my goodness!
