Microslop 🤮

  There is a solution to this microslop thing that is super easy for them to implement. I’ll solve their problem right now. Remove any and all copilot garbage from the OS. All integrations, all in program bots, everything. Not “turn it off if you want”. Remove it entirely.

    What about the 30% code is made with AI, and Windows having major problems? Or the fact that there is no innovation and they offering just the basics?

    No Microslop fits them perfectly.

      Delete it all. Start again.

    Sadly there are many users who are all in on the AI bullshit, so that likely won’t happen until after the bubble pops.

    they could 50% improve their implementation if they renamed it clippy

  How do they not realize once they try to ban it, it’s going to stick? If they just ignore it, it might go away after a while.

  Having participated in the epic Mac vs. PC flame wars of the 90s and 00s I’m upset us Mac users never came up with Microslop.

    No, but we did have a cross platform PC game about it:

    I might make Microslop Winslop 13, making fun of the AI hype cycle.

    Probably because Mac marketers never thought of it. Their whole marketing strategy during the 90s wasn’t even about what Macs or PCs could do but that cool people liked Macs and only middle aged business men liked PCs. Despite most of the games that weren’t on both platforms being on the PC side and Macs being the overpriced underperforming one (which IMO is the opposite of cool).

      I’m pretty sure Apple’s marketing team didn’t come up with “Micro$oft”

  Windows 12 is to be a mixed AI and Subscription model service.

    That turned out not to be real reporting and reputable outlets covering it retracted the story, but I wouldn’t put it past Microsoft to decide its a great idea

      Oh really? Guess they were testing what public opinion would be. They deserve the fury of the public at least to guide them lol

      i personally think it was real: it was a controlled “leak” to test the waters (or to prove to the executives to change course), and when the reaction was so predictably overwhelmingly negative the executives maybe woke up a little?

    It won’t work, but the C-Suite will have their primary objectives met - it’s got AI and Subscription, what more could anyone want?

  I love saying Microslop because Micro$oft doesn’t translate well into speech … I use this in formal conversation with customers as a support engineer on a fortune 500 European defense contractor.
