I think that's what they were called before they rebranded.
Ah that makes sense.
Het
I work in a small IT business, where I regularly setup notebooks or pc for the customer and install the software they need for work.
I always remove copilot from the Taskbar and the startmenu. Also usually install firefox with ublock origin, in the hope that they will try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.
Its not much, but it honest work.

I agree with Ryan Gosling on this.
Why is Ryan Gosling in this meme?
It was generated using copilot, for the added irony.
it’s kinda like rain, on your wedding day
I didn't realize for way too long that the song "Ironic" had no actual examples of irony in it, and that in itself is ironic. Blew my mind.
Isn't it iconic
Because he is a synth!

Refusing AI by using an AI generated meme?
But why?
Even AI thinks copilot is shit

Get the original picture instead of an AI manipulated one.
This deserves every upvote the top-level post got.
Cheers!
This is one of my favourites, thanks for posting the original!
Thank you. Fuck whatever AI slop OP posted.
I wouldn’t fuck it tbh.

it is considered rude to show ai slop to other humans
So.. uh.. laptops have a copilot key on the keyboard now..
It's exactly where my control key used to be, so I often hit that button and nothing happens, unless Im using a Windows via AWS and suddenly I keep getting copilot springing up.
It's a really user hostile move knowing that people will accidentally hit that button
Can you rebind it?
It's janky AF mess.
Internally the copilot key is hard coded to be meta + shift + f23. If you don't recognise what the f23 key is, that's because it was last featured over four decades ago on the IBM model M.
The fact that Microsoft has decreed that the Copilot key must send this exact shortcut of three different keys makes it very difficult to remap consistently.
Most keyboard remapping software (SharpKeys) work best at remapping single keys, not shortcuts. Windows users can use PowerToys to remap this three key shortcut, if you try to use it normally as a right ctrl, e.g. rctrl lshift p it doesn't work consistently.
I suspect it might be because you're essentially trying to send a whopping five keycodes for a shortcut, when most programs already struggle to handle 4.
Linux users were similarly out of luck until early last year, when most desktop environments fixed up the key codes.

Linux 6.14 Adds Support For The Microsoft Copilot Key Found On New Laptops - Phoronix - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.14-Input
So now I have to turn off the freaking Windows key and a copilot key.
Perfectly reasonable
And that's why the internet is addicted to old Thinkpads. I actively avoid these "Copilot+ PCs" with the Copilot key when I shop for laptops, and you should too.
The "internet" is programming centric special interest forums and the ever more radicalized left. Normies don't really care.
My company forces me to use it. It’s shit. I asked for Claude. And this is what they give me. It can’t even parse the file I send it. It forgets I uploaded the file after about 16 seconds and asks for me to upload it again. It’s amazing how bad it is.

Using an ai image to portray this?
fucking ai
e: AND THE FUCKING SLIME PEOPLE WHO PROMOTE IT
I get to participate in a project to see how well-adopted AI tools are in our company... with the intent to see where we should invest in more promotion and schooling in how useful and valuable they can be.
Didn't have the heart to tell the manager requesting my assistance that I'm also one of the non-adopters and no amount of promotion or schooling offer is likely to change that. They're lower management anyway, can't change the decisions made higher up, and I'm not gonna pick fights and sour working relations where there's nothing to win.
