Reminds me of the time when Disney allegedly* sent a memo to workers at Disney Land and Disney World telling them they'd be fired if they didn't stop complaining about the abysmal working conditions by calling both parks Mousewitz they'd be fired.

Within the hour, workers started calling it Duchau in stead.

Thank you for pointing out this clearly superior word, you expanded my vocabulary!

Why would Microslop do this? Aren’t they proud of the slop they are filling everything with? Or is this just a simple insecurity thing? Want us to call you Macroslop instead?

Oh Microslop... throwing tantrums like a 5 year old brat

This is like going to someone's place and loudly and constantly insulting them. Would you put up with it if people were doing that to you? You don't have to be a Microsoft fan to find that kind of behavior unacceptable. Just because it's online doesn't mean that it's acceptable.

Microslop needs to ask Copilot about the Streisand Effect. As someone not chronically on social media, I hadn't heard about this term yet. Now, it's one of my favorites.

Funny enough, I've been experimenting with Copilot at work and it does have some genuine uses for looking up information quickly. Especially when trying to troubleshoot Microslop products. Between the disaster called "Windows 11", the cluster-fuck which is New Outlook and the complete shitshow which falls under the umbrella of "Defender", it's obvious that they have stopped investing in QA and testing. At least Copilot can help me find the right document to quickly tell me that I can't do something I used to be able to do in the old version of Outlook. Or, that Defender is incapable of doing things which even Symantec Antivirus had gotten right in the early 2000's.

Please edit your post to add Nopilot instead of copilot, its the superior word

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Tempting. though I might have to go with FauxPilot.

20 years ago (yes, I'm old) we called it Microshaft Winblows. Perhaps it's time to resurrect that.

Losers, and on top sore... :D

MS did learn a lot from Communist China

That's how any absolutistic regime reacts. Which companies usually are.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

Microslop really should know better than to cry about it.

Back to Hasecorp for now...

Microsoft's dick is so micro and soft that they can't stand even an unpleasant word on Discord.
