    Lois Rossman can be annoying but dammit, he is right a lot.
    I changed my avatar to clippy. Cant find the link but it was a thing he was pushing.

      I’ve seen people call it slacktivism, and I would like to clarify his point: knowing that there are countless people who feel just a strongly as you do about an issue is a necessary prerequisite to actually making a change.

        Exactly

        If you feel that you’re alone on an issue you’re less likely to stand up about it.

        And the more visibility an issue gets the more likely that the issue is gonna gain traction with passionate people who will put boots on the ground.

      except his SteamDeck video. Still salty about that one.

      edit: for context he complained about how it’s not user repair-able and valve said not to touch the battery because it might explode (which isn’t exactly accurate) for legal reasons

      however… COMPARE IT TO THE NINTENDO SWITCH! in terms of repairability the steam deck is miles ahead and you can actually install stuff in the hardware you paid hundreds of bucks for

      he had all food points in a vacuum but like Nintendo is over there just setting stuff on fire and he’s complaining about the SteamDeck boiling water

        Louis does that a lot.

        Valve made the Steam Deck super repairable, gave us a literal disassembly tutorial, and partnered with iFixit, and the only thing they mentioned is that opening a device with thread lock will make it weaker and that batteries can be dangerous.

        Louis doesn’t actually like that users don’t need his input to repair this device, and feels threatened by iFixit, so suddenly repairability isn’t enough and Steam Deck = bad.

      I kinda like this chaotic good personality. I feel we “needed” somebody like that.

          9/11 was a westside job. 9th letter is ‘i’. What has ‘i’? Clippy. Right there. i = eye. Clippy has two eyes. Like the towers. Two. 11. 1+1 equals 2. Two ones, one two. Like two eyes, one pair of eyes, like Clippy. And what do eyes do? They see, like the red sea. Red like blood, which people donate. They give away. Giveaway, like an influencer. What do influencers do? They influence. Inflewence. Flew, like planes, in the sky. In the sky with diamonds. Diamonds in the sand. Sand is coarse and rough, and gets everywhere. Sand is made onto glass. And glass shatters, like a mirror. Seven years of bad luck. Superstition. Super… man? Men. Men in Black. Aliens. Wake up, sheeple. Sheep people. Like an alien species. Alien vs. Pr

    Why are we using a Microsoft mascot as a symbol for fair technology?

    Do people need a reminder of what Microsoft was up to when Clippy was a thing?

      Doesn’t matter. Clippy was always hated on up until now, when it became a twisted symbol of the people who’ve had enough, and a mark we wear to symbolize willingness to stand up to bullshit. Kinda the same thing happened with e.g. anti-LGBTQ+ language, which we later adopted into something more positive.
