>In August 2025, Clippit became the symbol of an anti-consumerism trend after YouTuber and activist Louis Rossmann uploaded a video titled "Change your profile picture to clippy. I'm serious", with him encouraging viewers to switch their profile pictures to the Clippit to protest unfair business practices and data harvesting from users by companies to train artificial intelligence models.

Maybe next it will be Puchippy

rossman states it's not about making change but showing people that'll actually take some time for change that there are people backing them.

it's ment to be a motivator and mascot i guess ヽ(´ー｀)ノ i mean rossman and a few other folks got some laws passed so its probably working Σ(;ﾟДﾟ)

I think this movement will have an impact. If not external like laws, then at least they will refuse garbage and teach others how to dump garbage. Effectively shrink market share of bad companies forever.

They like tech, they like tinkering. If they did not like it they would not be watching that channel and probably any other tech or engineering channel. They are mostly young and like thinking and working and that is a great combo. There is something boiling. I was at that stage a few years ago and I was sharing with other kids how to PGP, encrypt, install linux, torrent, use tor and so on. I bet many of these clippies also do that in their circles of friends and family and not in public. Because in public you already have infinite material for learning and if you spammed it they would insult you, but with friends and family who don't know better they will not bully you but appreciate concern, help and knowledge.

Turning their pictures into clippy gives them a sense of unity, propagates the idea so that people like OP would read their manifesto and spread it wider, and if one clippy does something free and open source then others feel obliged to do the same and it is a positive loop if they buy into the community/idea aspect. If they don't do change in their personal life at this stage then I am sure majority of them would do later, it never happens fast but steadily. There is nobody on earth that moved from linux to windows after all. If kids keep propagating piracy and open source and repair at home and stick with it then these bad companies permanently lose customers and earn 1 star reviews. At least I try to rate 1 star whenever I don't like my tech making up problems for me to fix instead of just giving me what I wanted.

Even pewdiepie did linux and open source propaganda. Linux is infinitely more talked about than years ago. To be honest I only moved to linux in 2023 due to channels like Ross. Recent propaganda that linux runs windows games better than windows also has power to get people to rethink. Modern geek or geek-oriented spaces see linux now not as the ultimate fat retard system that crashes every 10 minutes and can't run notepad as something very cool and attractive and a status symbol. There is a reason why everyone who uses arch must brag about it and they made it into a joke. Everyone recommends mint for newbs but I bet everyone who recommends it never tried it, because I recommend it and never ran it but it looks simple enough :biggrin:
Now I understand why each year people say this is the year of linux!!!

I also am very displeased with the modern defaults. When i use my beloved linux i am the normal one, not the windows crowd with FBI rootkit, actual botnet that they pay for :angry:

I bought a laptop last week (you know which one) and installed mint on it with 0 linux knowledge. I haven't used it a lot and i'm slowly learning, but 0 "typical linux issues" so far.
I was shocked that my bluetooth headphones worked on it without any driver bullshit, tinkering or being told to install gentoo. It is apparently a distro that "just works" with a lot of things and that's why it's so beginner friendly.
BTW if anyone has any suggestions on things i should learn when it comes to linux (once again i have 0 linux knowledge, only basic computer and programming knowledge) i would appreciate it.

Oh. Basic basics of terminal can be useful. Listing devices useful.

I spam 'lsblk' at any disk listing, there are others that show you UUID or device ID or whatever else too

I use 'fdisk' to partition, I like it the best

If you want to run shell scripts that are those .sh files to make life easier remember to use chmod +x to make them executable.

If you want to mount each time your drive at the same address then there is fstab to edit, like if you have a usb key and decrypt it that way

If you can't make a directory or make/edit/copy files in some place then you probaby need permissions for some reason and you 'chown' them or 'chmod 777', but be very careful with chown and chmod because you can break the system if you just like me sneeze and hit enter after typing '/' as my target. Not much worked and I had to get my backup.

If you type an address you have 2 options: relative and absolute. Relative is in relation to where you are in terminal at the moment, absolute is absolute. Absolute begins with / while relative begins without it. Also 'cd ../' to go back one directory.

So in the beginning of the address the / or its lack signifies relative or absolute, but also at the end of an address you can put either / or lack of it. If it is present then you mean the contents of that address, if it is not present then you mean the directory and its contents! Not every command cares for the / at the end, but there are some that care a lot, especially if you want to automate something. Rsync for example cares.

Thats all to learn I think. I don't need to remember much besides that daily.

./ = current directory (can be omitted most of the time)
../ = parent directory
~/ = home directory

Hidden files and folders can be made by putting a . infront of the name.

cd = change directory

If you wish to know the arguments of an application without googling run "man application_name" to see the manual

Many unix utils can be surprisingly useful and do things that it is difficult to do on windows.
For instance lets say you want to crop a video between certain times without waiting for a video editor to re-encode: ffmpeg -ss 00:01:23 -to 00:02:34 -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4

If you wish to try out using a bash script, try this https://up.heyuri.net/src/4813.txt
Rename it from txt to sh, open the terminal in the directory where it is located and run chmod +x ./makegif.sh or if you are in your home directory (default) and lets say it is in your downloads folder: chmod +x ./Downloads/makegif.sh or chmod +x ~/Downloads/makegif.sh
Most people store bash scripts in a folder called "bin" and is usually hidden, so when I run a bash script I usually run "~/.bin/script.sh arguments". When you run a script that is executable all you have to do is specify it, so ~/.bin/script.sh will run the script. Bash scipts have a "shebang" at the start (#!/bin/bash) which means simply specifying the script will invoke bash

ffmpeg is great for video manipulation automation, imagemagick (run as "convert" on debian systems like mint) is also extremely useful, such as if you wanted to mass crop images or something like that.

When it coems to disks I recommend gnome-disks gui rather than using command line unless you know what you're doing.
>>

>>154994
In addition, when it comes to linux applications that are a must have:

mpv (video player which excellent keyboard commands like simpyl pressing m to mute)
ristretto or pix are the best image viewers
Thunar is a fast file browser
okular is a good pdf viewer
If you wanna play windows games I recommend using Lutris, and Protonup-qt to install gloriouseggroll's proton fork and running it through lutris. OR you can simply add non-steam game and run it with proton there (you have to enable proton in steam settings). Most AAA games run flawlessly nowadays thanks to Valve

generally speaking the best apps come from xfce, kde, and gnome suites.

i wanna add to this so i'm going to say some more

filelight is a really handy thing to have to check up on your disk space. nice pie-chart visualization, but not as interactive as WinDirStat. about as fast as your disk is to do a full read on everything there ヽ(´∇`)ノ

leafpad is a dead simple notepad that's handy, ala notepad from windows. fast and nice!

KDE connect is a really helpful mobile-desktop connection thing. i like being lazy in my bed and changing the music playing on my computer with my phone so it does the job pretty well

localsend is also a really nice airdrop-like application for sending files. it's a bit nicer than KDE Connect's own implementation i think, so i use it alot more than that for throwing pictures into my archive. looks nice too ヽ(´∇`)ノ

i'm inclined to agree with kaminko that kde, gnome and xfce suites are generally the best option if you wanna get software that works well! do try give other, independent software a shot though, some of them end up being really good

I finally got myself to force install arch on my pi, yay, I thought it is hard but as usual I am wrong
Tomorrow encryption and connection, backup and packages
Day after that I will have a darknet minecraft server up alongside a market
By the way pi os is so bad, the imager literally had 'telemetry' ticked by default

And I got graphene os
I intentionally got a used pixel for that purpose
Is that dumb?
