@futurebird Found this on reddit: "A form of silent protest against SaaS, predatory advertisement, data harvesting, and other shitty practices from software companies."

@futurebird I don't know as I refuse to inform myself on this fact.But, I will share this, it blew my mind to recently find out the Love Death & Robots / Deadpool /CGI cutscene deity Tim Miller did the original character animations for Microsoft.Clippy now has a modicum of respect in my eyes. Bummer he worked for such jerks.I know this helps not at all, but it is interesting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJAZXcyXchc

@futurebirdI've been hearing some rumblings that suggest discontent in Windows-world. I think they might be pushing Copilot onto more people? Maybe they're nostalgic for the annoying-but-less-harmful Clippy..?

@futurebird In Clippy’s case, there weren’t ulterior motives or hidden layers of monetization, just being annoyingly helpful.
