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?
Dachau was one if the first concentration camps in Germany.
I am very aware, I was asking about the pronunciation/reference.
Yes, it’s as you stated, a reference to donald duck. A very loose reference.
Also, I’ve tried to find any reliable sources for this story at previous occasions, and it seems like it’s fully made up. The working conditions have reportedly been abyssmal which is likely the origin of the story, but that specific story is not real.
Remember how Americans would pronounce the ch. They already basically say Dackau, so Duckau isn’t a far stretch.
It might be that there is pun at all about them calling it Dachau and that was the point. Oh we can’t use this cheeky nickname anymore? Fine, we’ll just refer to it as Dachau. Ban that.
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.
Oh Microslop… throwing tantrums like a 5 year old brat
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?
Lol, lmao even
Okay, lets move on to alternatives.
Micro$lop
Micro$oft
Micro$hit
Micro$laverI 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].”
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.
It’s normal to just meet people where they are at on all the various platforms. As long as you can pipe everything back to customer data platform increasing scale through multiple social platforms has almost no downside and pretty minimal cost.
Don’t they have a chat product?
Many.
And Discord is among them.Seems like I missremembered something.
Ah microslop kicking themselves for not buying discord
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!
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.
They’re proud capitalists, so it never bothered them. They aren’t proud of their slopware though
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.
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
Tempting. though I might have to go with FauxPilot.
All those alternatives aren’t insulting enough
BlowPilot
I’m afraid this will be lost on the dipshits thinking you’re making some reference to Starfox
I’ve said this before that if they made it optional and gave us the choice of using it as part of the operating system, then people might use it and might find reasons to like it. But shoving it down our throats is offensive and rapey. I’m not interested in being raped by microslop.
In fact, I am violently opposed to it. If one of the people that are shoving nopilot down our throats was in front of me, I would attack that person, at least verbally, but also possibly physically depending on their response.
I still use windows 10.
