   Can somebody explain to me the point of changing your profile picture to Clippy?

     @fluffykittycat@furry.engineer That's indeed how far I got, but I don't get how this will change anything?

     @SuperDicq pointless virtue signalling that ultimately leads to nothing

     @Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com @fluffykittycat@furry.engineer I don't have GNU in my name but my profile picture is literally a cropped FSF campaign material drawn by mangaka Hiroshi Seo.

     @SuperDicq @fluffykittycat I would say changing profile picture to Gnu would be fun but I don't like loss of individuality. Having Gnu in name is one of better ways to identify other free software enthusiasts over here in fedi

     @hj@shigusegubu.club @takao@shitposter.world If anything this campaign does not against learned helplessness instead of actually doing something against proprietary software companies.
     
     But I don't think this is a campaign against that.

     @takao @SuperDicq better than doing nothing, it at least helps with learned helplessness

     @hj@shigusegubu.club @takao@shitposter.world You know what also causes learned helplessness to the extreme? Proprietary software.

     @Pi_rat @SuperDicq @fluffykittycat With webp, you can keep your existing image, but have to change over to a GNU for half the time.

     @hj@shigusegubu.club @takao@shitposter.world Actually I think learned helplessness is one of the major reasons why it is so hard to get people to switch to free software.
     
     I do not know how to overcome this condition in other people, especially when when don't understand they are suffering from it themselves.
