    Microslop implies that there’s very little AI slop.
    Consider Slopsoft, Macroshaft, Micro$oft, etc. instead.

    Ew indeed.

    AI doesn’t have much to like on its face, but the terrible sonsabitches trying to ram it down everybody’s throats - chief of which Microsoft, followed closely by OpenAI - are really doing their damnedest to make it properly hateworthy.

    I can’t comprehend why you would have done that at any point in time, really. Surely you can self host automated backups

    To be fair, relying on OneDrive is like waiting for a bomb to go off.

    “let’s save today’s photos from my phone onto my machine” bullshit?

    Once it’s set up, I don’t see how that’s a hassle? Especially if its just syncing over WiFi.

  The sad part is that i still tried to first rationalize this and was about to check if office.com really belongs to microsoft…

  Anyway, i jumped ship for good last year. Its probably really time to delete that windows 10 partition i used a whole 2 hours the last 6 months.

  It jus clicked for me why they call it copilot. Hated it since it was announced and even more now. Everybody should be flying solo

  Honestly the hardest part of “productivity” is keeping up with the product names. 😅 I just hope the rename doesn’t break links/docs and that licensing/features stay crystal clear for users.

  Silly consumers. Microsoft will tell you what you want, when you want it, and through sheer force of an 800 pound marketplace gorilla, they’ll continue to shlurp in 20-30 Billion dollars in pure uncut profit every three months.

  Geez it’s like you guys haven’t been getting screwed by this convicted monopoly for forty straight years with absolutely no end in sight.

  It all kind of makes sense if you look at it from an investors’ perspective, which is the only one that really matters to CEOs. You can do whatever you want, but unless a company is an AI company, you can’t reach a stratospheric PE ratio and your stock stays “low.” You convince investors that you are an AI-first company, and your stock can break free of its shackles and reach its full potential!

  All for the relatively cheap price of slapping two letters on everything, AI.

  So far on my work computer I’ve had a policy to indiscriminately uninstall anything that says copilot. If I hadn’t seen this post I may have nuked it, then spent the afternoon trying to figure out where excel went.

  I feel there’s some marketing conspiracy with the “office” term. It looks like they have been planning to make it disappear because it is uncool for some new marketing genius or it reduces the target markets, I guess. So they first attached a new term, 365, as a transition, and now they dropped the office while keeping the 365 so recent users can still make the link. The AI bubble was maybe just a convenient excuse to advance the plan.

  source

  • KnitWit@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    If true, then it is beyond dumb. When I need to do office related work, ie typing a document or using spreadsheets, the most relevant term would be office. Not a term that is a reference to flying a plane.

    Of course I don’t use microsoft for anything, but it is wild to watch that company completely forget what it is that they do.

    Trying to figure what exactly is going on, cuz there are older posts about it, but only the web version? Is it just that the local app has been updated?

    something that happened two years ago

    Looks like this change happened between Jan 19 and Jan 20 2025 - less than a year ago.

    Stop panicking, people. It’s silly.

    I don’t think anyone is panicking. If anything I reckon most people find it hilarious 😂 microslop are desperate to make some money with their LLMs and it’s funny that noone is interested.

  the word “app” in Microsoft 365 Copilot app isn’t capitalized. I’m not sure if it is actually technically correct, but i think mentioning that it’s an app is awkward anyway. (it only faintly gets across that it’s like, a program with slightly better access to files OS, and the computers resources than a web thing, but i thought everything is enthusiastically in the cloud?) also, according to me, not capitalizing the product name fails to (superficially) communicate being professional (“Microsoft Access 365 Professional™®”) by capitalizing it

  source

  • captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    They probably didn’t capitalize “app” so as to avoid confusion with Windows App. Which is what they’ve renamed Remote Desktop to.

    You can’t reach these decisions on normal people cocaine. You need the special executive cocaine for this shit.
