This is embarrassing... I'll keep calling them Microslop and Microflop more
NoPilot
I like it, I like it.
Thank you for pointing out this clearly superior word, you expanded my vocabulary!
Reminds me of the time when Disney allegedly* sent a memo to workers at Disney Land and Disney World telling them that, 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.
*read: probably
I get the Mousewitz part but what’s the reference to Dachau about? Duchau read like Duckau as in Donald Duck?
Remember how Americans would pronounce the ch. They already basically say Dackau, so Duckau isn't a far stretch.
I hate this timeline, but I do enjoy the small moments of absurdity when I can.
Oh Microslop... throwing tantrums like a 5 year old brat
Lol, lmao even
Good old roflcopter.
Wait, this a picture? Seriously? Here's some ascii art ones: https://gist.github.com/MatthewRalston/3f529c819e4976c7e6572f5682c8959f
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?
Go to microsoft dot com. Click their chat help bot. Ask "What is microslop?" get told, sorry, I cannot help you with that and turns itself off.
I just did that..and it said....''it would seem you are referring to Microsoft'' So all of your hard work was not in vain. It is now self aware
I loved the:
Of course, the internet rarely leaves things there.
There are many things wrong about the current Internet, but the pettiness against any affront (real or perceived) won't ever die, and I think that's good.
Am I the only one questioning why Microslop has a Discord server? Don't they have a chat product?
"Hello I'm [generic person 2387362] and I'm the community manager for [generic corporation/tool/product 1892873]! I just started a few weeks ago and I'm so excited to announce that in the interest of [generic engagement and advertising], we've started a discord server! We [positive transitive verb] our community, and want to bring them together so they can share some of the [productivity success stories] they've had or ask the community for support! Remember, while this is an official [generic corporation] channel, by joining this community you agree to [27 pages of legal terms about them owning your messages and data farming you]."
You son of a bitch I'm in!! Where do I sign up?
They do, but have you ever seen a party that everyone knows about but no one shows up to? That's Microsoft's non-paid chat service.
Idk Microsoft, maybe fix your AI so it doesn't recommend Microsoft products that are either ~~depreciated~~ deprecated or don't exist.
It's pretty embarrassing for you.
If it was the only bad thing about Microsoft, it would be pretty great though.
Ah microslop kicking themselves for not buying discord
They would have run it into the ground with mismanagement and a new chat application would become the popular choice within a year, while Microslop's new acquisition fades into obscurity, eventually to be depreciated and shut down my Microslop themselves.
As has happened multiple times already in history.
That's a bit weird. They didn't get this worked up about being called "Micro$oft" or something. This is probably hitting the nerve in a completely different way!
They're proud capitalists, so it never bothered them. They aren't proud of their slopware though
Microsoft has over 200k employees, and the people (person?) managing the discord are probably at the bottom of the totem pole. I doubt they put more than 5 seconds of thought into this.
Microslop needs to ask Copilot about the Streisand Effect. As someone not chronically on social media, I hadn't heard about this term yet. Now, it's one of my favorites.
Funny enough, I've been experimenting with Copilot at work and it does have some genuine uses for looking up information quickly. Especially when trying to troubleshoot Microslop products. Between the disaster called "Windows 11", the cluster-fuck which is New Outlook and the complete shitshow which falls under the umbrella of "Defender", it's obvious that they have stopped investing in QA and testing. At least Copilot can help me find the right document to quickly tell me that I can't do something I used to be able to do in the old version of Outlook. Or, that Defender is incapable of doing things which even Symantec Antivirus had gotten right in the early 2000's.
Please edit your post to add Nopilot instead of copilot, its the superior word
Things must be rough for the AI fandom when a Discord made for CoPilot is unsustainably critical of CoPilot
Who else would even join except bots?
Microslop should ask their own NoPilot about the Streisand Effect.
🎶 Barbra Streisand 🎶
I wanna join the server just to look at the absolute loser shit that must be going down in the "Aha AI Moments" channel
Okay, lets move on to alternatives.
Micro$lop
Micro$oft
Micro$hit
Micro$laver
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
Microslop really should know better than to cry about it.
