8min video and I gave up after 2:30 of rambling. Anybody have a tl;dw?

I really don’t like this guy. Something really doesn’t sit right. I agree with his (generally popular opinion) takes, but ugh. Something is off.

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

clippy is better than all the awful ai junk we have now, change your pfp to clippy to protest.

Make your pfp clippy to show that you're not going to follow orders

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.zip 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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.
