Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoNot OP, but I see where he’s coming from. Clippy is still the symbol of a corporation instead of basic human rights like:
- right to own
- right to repair
- right to live a life free of ads in things owned
Something like this would be better. I just grabbed it, I don’t think it’s affiliated with something else:

Rossman advocates all the things you mentioned, even as far going to washington to advocate them. Which is more than most of us have ever done, or will ever do. He acknowledges Clippy was bad, but its a reminder of then to now. What we as consumers dont like and what its become. Its a symbol we all know, that microsoft doesent even use anymore, so i dont think its a problem using it as a reminder and symbol of solidarity.

I don’t disagree with you and I think his intentions are good, it’s just that there are other symbols that he could have used. Especially now that a lot of people don’t even know what clippy is and it’s a corporate symbol.
