On youtube I see tons of avatars and mentions of clippy, the oldscool windows help tool. Are they protesting something?

More slacktivism so the masses can feel they're "doing their part" and go back to their usual routine of idleness

I'd love to show my support for the cause, but yeah, majority of people are just using a fancy new pfp and calling it a day, and I don't want to associate with those people lol

If every people using a clippy pfp would start using foss over big tech, then we could maybe start making a noticeable impact.

Tsmt Any direct action is better than a performative pfp change
