I kinda got sucked into that Clippy thing for a while then took a moment to think about like everyone.

Kinda cringe, to adopt anything coming from microsoft for a pro ownership movement.

I agree 100% with the cause but we could go with any other resistance symbol that could mean actually something.

Well, to be fair, it’s not utilizing Microsoft as a mascot, but the era of buying and owning and keeping, as opposed to the current era of renting forever.

Back then, you bought a computer and it came with the programs you needed and they were yours until you got rid of the computer. Then they were the property of whomever got the computer next.

That’s what people are calling for. Which is depressing in and of itself because it’s so little to ask for. They’re the hand that’s starving and robbing us. We shouldn’t be asking for them to stop robbing us, we should be taking the hand and using it to distribute to all who need.
