@notplants Would you object if I made stickers with this (or a replica) on? I need them.
@jonty @notplants would def make great merch.
aw these would make great stickers. I got the image from a friend from scuttlebutt, and they said it’s also of unknown provenance after some research into where it came from. so imo it is a Meme(TM) now, and would be fine to turn into a sticker
@notplants this should be a reply option for my email. Thanks for sharing.
@notplants oh, i needed this when someone complained that internet technology was broken with the symptom being that people online can be assholes and then flamed me when i suggested that maybe the people, not the technology, was to blame.
@notplants i learned early on as an IT manager in a large company to not try and solve people problems with technology (mostly it was junior managers not wanting to actually manage).
@notplants Clippy. Still giving us nuggets of wisdom.

@notplants πŸ‘ it's well worth the time to study the dark triad personality traits. Great Psychologists on Youtube would be the likes of Dr. Les Carter, Richard Grannon, or Sam Vaknin. Psych2Go is a great channel as well.

It's also worth making sure one doesn't suffer from so-called "Nice-guy syndrome", which many an Open Source geek can fall prey to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG39mtnvcVY

Do You Have Nice Guy or Girl Syndrome?

@notplants @kirtai If they're intractable then no matter the approach it won't work, so whether you do it with technology (for fun) or not amounts to the same in practical outcomes.
@notplants Noooo! Not clippy. : P

@AceArsenault @notplants I'm actually quite surprised Clippy (or the MS Agent technology in general) hasn't made a comeback with the Generative Autocomplete "AI" hype...

I suppose that, after adding "reactions" to Outlook, Microsoft's next step is likely going to be to bring back MS Agent, this time plugged into "AI"?

@njsg @notplants I remember being a teenager trying to type something in Microsoft office and not knowing how to close that stupid clippy thing.

@notplants HaHaHa, been there.

@notplants looks like you're doing "A.I.", or generally trying to solve an intractable problem by just throwing more computing power at it
@notplants πŸ“Ž you fool. You absolute cretin. Stinky.
