Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

Always have been, just with a better PR campaign.

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.

According to .world, supporting genocide is the moral leftist ideal, and if you don’t support genocide you’re a fascist.

They also think the sky is yellow and the everyone wears a goatee in their mirror universe.

He claims the mod removing them was wrong, and then proves them right in the same timeframe. Normal behavior.

“No I’m not angry, the mod was wrong in removing my comments. Btw die alone and forgotten.”

You’re really proving the point of everyone around you.

You got banned for giving citations from a reputable source, Jesus Christ.

And she sent me a DM about this comment 13 days later.

She says she’s an anarchist and that since I don’t think she is, I somehow also don’t think she’s trans? When I’ve used her pronouns and defended trans people regularly?

Maybe I’d consider her an anarchist if she… Advocated for anarchism, and didn’t post from .ml, Hexbear, defending China and Stalin.

Or maybe “jokes” about killing people with icepicks like Stalin ordered Trotsky to be killed.

You meant to tell me the general public has kneejerk reactions and don’t know how a computer works?

What a shock that lemmy bashes Mozilla for doing their job.

Still waiting for this bloat to show up, and I’m on the latest update.

What in the fuck are you talking about

Well you’re free to submit sources that are credible and challenge that old ones aren’t.

Someone is mad their sources got removed for not being credible.

She claims she’s an anarchist but never actually advocates for anarchism, hates the anarchist instance, and simps for China and the USSR.

I think she lies to deflect blame about her true intentions.
