      Funny, but branding aside coming together in a public way in support of more privacy and a right to repair is worth it. It is a great way to develop solidarity and create more conversation on the topic.

      Man, I love Louis but your complaint about rambling is so valid. It only caters to the people who already agree with him and scares away people who would otherwise be convinced by the same points delivered in a better manner

      Edit: since the other summaries aren’t really helpful imo, Louis is saying that Clippy is representative of a time when Microsoft software worked perfectly fine without an internet connection and served to simply help you get work done instead of use you as a revenue source

        How about you just don’t follow orders? In my opinion, that should be much more effective.

          It’s to see that there are other people doing the same. The whole point is to show that there are people out there with the same mindset. The point is not to celebrate clippy, it’s just means to show the commitment.

      Lemmy and Piefed support profile pictures. They show up in the web view. It’s just that the mobile apps don’t bother with them. (At least the good one doesn’t. I’m talking about Voyager)
