This doesn't annoy me but the movement of using this image feels extremely confusing and uneventful. Like wearing a ribbon, but with some weird attachment to an enterprise?

What events did you expect?

It's not a revolution, we can't just go with pichforks to Microsoft offices and demand de-enshittification of Windows.

It's a movement of "we are fed up with this shit".And our only tools are:

making people aware of how awful Windows, Mac and rest of Big Tech world are and to make people switch to Linux, because it's the only platform that is free from this bullshit and gives you some freedom.

It sounds like a low bar until you take a look around you.

Yes. As opposed to sleazy and exploitative.

Be like clippy, a smiling, damned corporate villain who will sell data about anyone including his own grandmother to make a buck.

Yep. And nearly impossible to get rid of.

Clippy was very easy to get rid of, and once disabled, it stayed that way.

I'm no longer counting how many places I have to disable Copilot in (or find I'm unable to do so) every time there is a new update to Windows, or Edge, or VS Code, or Paint, or Notepad, or...

Touche lmao
