What do we think about operation paperclip?
>>
>>106478905
Supposedly it lets you know that you are not alone and have likeminded people around you, which should let you act accordingly, or so rossman says.
Will it succeed? I hope, would be a change for good.

personally I won't bother because that's just kind of lazy fuck I am

>>106478905
If it stops some relatively intelligent people from becoming retarded npcs and reducing themselves to the lowest common denominator, I guess that will be a good thing. But it will never change the fact that most people are cattle that will never be assed to care about the benefits of actually owning your own stuff and companies will inevitably be built around them.

I like that it makes at least a few more people autistically principled about this shit, like myself. I didn't watch the video about it, tho, mostly just going off vibes from his other recent vids. Never saw a video of his before he started doing this (besides the AI futa one), but the algo decided I should now and I'm glad it did. The indifference /g/ bred in me over the years about him was misplaced, and he's actually pretty based (and the clippy thing seems to be too). I like the wiki
>>
>>106479315
Essentially, if you don't like enshittification put a Clippy in your pfp to let everyone know. Maybe someone will google "why is Clippy everywere" and learn about consumer rights.
>>
The kike fears the paperclip.
>>
>>106478905
Decent concept. I haven't been seeing anyone talking about it though. I would definitely like it to succeed, but it seems the number of vocal participants hasn't scratched the surface of the herd mentality yet though.

I am tired of seeing normalfags using it as their profile picture, if I were a big YouTube I would report to theme YouTube there is a botting issue and that will result louis getting a strike on his channel.

I like it very much. But I also think that ultimately it's pointless because the root problem, like with most things, is the ultra rich elites controlling the governments and getting even richer at our expense, and there's no way to unseat them. Certainly no peaceful set-an-avatar way. But it's good to feel that many others share your frustration, a bit easier on the mental health.
>>
>>106478905
I'm not participating in it but I think it's funny that people disaffected with "woke" or global homogenisation - or whatever term you wish to use to describe the way elites are trying to shape the world - have these outlets to create a sense of camaraderie that the politicians, judges, activists and think tanks have no way to control or censor. The flag raising one in the UK is a great one.

I agree with the sentiment
unfortunately it's just led to a bunch of clippy cunts all over youtube hounding people about their pfp and acting all smug and like faggots

I disagree, I've personally met at least 3 faggots doing something measurable about the shit that has them dissatisfied with the current state of the net.

On one hand we got modern jet aircrafts, on the other hand we also ended up with Lime Disease too so it's kind of a mixed bag honestly.

Oh hey I remember that guy, did he and his LRA party win the election in the Congo?
Seemed like a pretty popular guy last I checked, they had bracelets and everything.

That's why Rossmann also told his followers to call their representatives and boycott the most egregious companies doing anti consumer shit. Can't run a mile before you've put on your running shoes an such.
>>
>>106479315
Right to repair guys are trying to make a statement about involuntary data collection.

Clippy wasn't used for data collection it just gave you help and could be turned off. It represents what should be expected from software: no spying, not running in the, can be disabled.
>>
>>106478905
Highly problematic.
>>
this campaign just doesn't have the juice. it has the same feeling as a "put on this ribbon to raise awareness" or "change your profile picture to show support"
>>
>>106480768

Spoiler: they won't
>>
nice to see a lot of pfp

then again, it's preaching to the choir
>>
>>106487080
This is my biggest concern.

While privacy education would be great, the only people who will listen will be privacy educated individuals.

The counter-point is that, maybe those individuals will spring into action to do something about it for their setup.

I mean how many people here are running a local DNS setup to blacklist telemetry?

Spoiler: only a small percentage of you faggots are doing that and it takes 20 minutes to set up a pihole.
>>
It's like change.org, it gives you the feeling that you're contributing to something, but it doesn't really do anything.

What a weak and pathetic response to enshittification of products by big corporations. People should grab a Molotov cocktail and burn shitty tech companies, like Microsoft, to the ground.

It's literally just a meme movement designed to get Louis more subscribers.
>>
>>106490425
haha weeell let's not get that cynical
>>
>>106490396
Louis' point is that Clippy was generally considered shit, annoying feature nobody wanted, but it wasn't nearly as bad as annoying shit pushed now
>>
>>106478905
That it likely won't go beyond avatars and silly 'join us' comments, and that people are easily led by e-celebs into doing dumb and pointless shit.

Every single movement that aims to change something needs to have supporting npcs in order to succeed.
