@ai6yr I'm currently imagining

Clippy: Fuck you, I have you now

@pixelpusher220

@ai6yr IBM used to have the sales pitch that “no one ever got fired for choosing IBM.” M$ has taken advantage of their dominance similarly - it was a safe choice. But now people ought to be fired for buying Microsoft.
