B-but… America good… China stinky… Democrats told me so…

Mine is the Aperture Science logo!

Or you could encrypt it yourself and not trust a private company’s word.

Anyone remember when a bunch of celebrities had their iCloud information and data leaked?

Or that Apple has been caught helping the NSA and other alphabet soup government agencies with their keys?

The hivemind of neoliberals makes them all act the same, so no real difference. Anyone they disagree with is a Tankie who somehow also supports Trump. Anyone who doesn’t kiss the ass of their favorite Democrat is actually a Russian shill.

Well they moved to Shit Just Works, the Nazi bar. So probably still the same.

So instead of fighting it they changed their profile picture. Might as well post “Down for this sort of thing, I hereby declare Facebook can’t steal my posts” and then never actually do anything to help stop it.

He would have tried to sell your data if he could have. Clippy would use Recall 24/7 if he could have.

How many millions of people have you reached about the importance of consumer rights?

Only my friends, but I don’t then move to CorpoLand, USA because muh free dumbs.

It’s basically saying he was the freedom for ye, not for thee. Texas is where you go when you want to have companies do what they want, as any restrictions on their actions hurts their bottom dollar.

The entire clippy thing baffles me.

Let’s use the mascot of Microsoft, a tech giant who invades every inch that they can, to say we don’t like tech giants!

I don’t think any company that uses AI or scrapes data gives two shits what your avatar is. It’s the equivalent of changing your twitter profile to show support for the victims of something, and then carrying on as usual.

Microsoft would kill for Clippy to be remembered as a friend. Because that just sanewashes their history as a company when clippy was a thing. Yes, please ignore the anti-trust busting in Congress. Please ignore how we made computers worse for the end user by restricting what you can do on your purchased computer.

“Clippy was your friend. Clippy didn’t want to steal your data. Clippy just wanted to help.”

Help infantize the masses with “It looks like you’re writing a document, do you want help with that? Yes, or maybe later?”

This entire clippy thing is just basically free whitewashing and advertising for Microsoft, one of the biggest players in the reasons why people use the avatar.

At least invent something new, if it’s about protecting artists, instead of copying a jpg from a 90s corporate milquetoast mascot.

There’s other ways to get info. And man pages are a great way to learn how something is expected to work on your system. And it’s offline, without ads, scams, ai generated false info.

I never do. I don’t even restart Firefox after updating, if it is already running.

Clearly you don’t use it often, firefox will force you to restart itself and refuse to render webpages.

The fact that they’re this mad says yes.

As we all know, a cultural understanding of works of literature that influenced its readers is exactly like one weirdo on twitter being weird about a movie. Brilliant.

How dare people use novels used to express political thoughts when political topics come up.

If Sanders keeled over, .world would be smugly saying “Aren’t we glad he didn’t have a chance at winning? He would have turned Murica into a socialist commie hellhole!”

Murder is bad when its the other guys, our murder is just the way things are, nothing can be done to prevent it.

.world is upset anytime someone lightly criticizes their favorite politicans, we can ignore them.

They’re not neglecting it, they’re purposefully ignoring it. People will tag (correctly, mind you) Reagan, Nixon, and Dubya as the issue of modern America, but if you bring up the voting/writing record of the most recent Blue Guy, somehow its not their fault, people are allowed to change, people can learn better, etc. etc.

And then when you call them out, you’re calling being a useful idiot for having a braincell that wasn’t fed propaganda for a doupoly.

Every time someone says “Blue MAGA isn’t a thing” I just roll my eyes and recall every time I was right about the DNC failing to protect the democracy they claim to support, and got downvoted, banned, flamed, censored, etc.

I don’t have a dog in the fight. I’m not Jewish and I’m not palestinian.

When they came for the Palestinians, I didn’t speak because I was not Palestinian…
