Microslop's CEO is on a roll!
Few weeks ago he begged us to stop using "slop" because it makes AIs sad. Days ago he complained "AI boom might falter" if we don't start using more spicy autocomplete. 
Now he's begging developers to "do something useful" with lying machines, or they might lose the "social permission" to boil the planet.

What, is Microslop's Slopilot services not useful enough on their own?

Big tech is not your friend. They don’t care about you. Remember this when making decisions while using any of their products.
#Microsoft Chef Nadella warnt davor, dass der Tulpen-Markt komplett einbrechen koennte, wenn die Menschen nicht endlich anfangen Tulpen zu kaufen!
Jap, irrer wird es heute nicht mehr. Es ist EURE Schuld, dass die AI-Blase platzen wird, weil ihr nicht schnell genug die Microsoft-Copiloten, von denen es inzwischen wohl min. ein Dutzend gibt, in euer Leben lasst.
In der Hoffnung, dass ihr weiterhin alle so stabil bleibt!
Apparently #microslop doesn't like it when people call them #microslop
Can someone in my timeline explain, why #Microsoft (or should I also start calling it #Microslop) is ruining #Notepad?
What a great example of features presented which no one asked for, but complaints on other parts in the system are constantly ignored for years after years.
I'm really considering the move to #CachyOS atm (I was a #LinuxMint user for years before but switched back to Win after Job switch to dotnet - but nowadays, even dotnet is easily possible on linux and looks great - see here (sorry, it's in german) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqjoo98VSF0

As a Teams user with no memory of names, working with 5 Dave,

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns

Oh dear me are people not "adopting" lying autocomplete widely enough to keep the line going up? Oh noes. Nobody could have foreseen this! 🤯
I cannot wait for the official announcement of a new #Microslop programme, Adopt-an-AI. 🤣
What an absolute tool. "The bubble might burst if you all don't help pump it!" 🤡

What happens if I quote a video from 
@loops with a tag like #softwareEngineer #microsoft #careerDevelopment
Would Instagram get jealous because THEY CAN'T QUOTE? WHAAAT? :)
Lol, #GitHub is so funny — #Microsoft disabled code search if you are not logged in.
Before, I successfully searched in some project's code without login, but looks like since 2026 #Microslop desided to make things worse.
Thankfully, "git clone" through HTTPS and good old grep still working without GitHub account, lol

2026 vai ser o meu ano do desktop Linux 🐧
by 
@cadeyXe 
"Eu tenho apenas tolerado o Windows 11 por um tempo, mas recentemente chegou a um ponto em que se tornou absolutamente insuportável. De alguma forma, o Linux no desktop ficou muito melhor, mesmo sem fazer nada diferente.
A Microsoft conseguiu sabotar ativamente a experiência do desktop através de anos de desconsideração e rancor contra seus usuários. Eles conseguiram pegar algumas de suas inovações tecnológicas mais revolucionárias (o design híbrido do kernel NT que permite reiniciar drivers, NTFS, ReFS, WSL, Hyper-V, etc.) e depois simplesmente estragou tudo com menus de início feitos com React Native, menus control-alt-delete que na verdade são apenas webviews e forçando o Copilot goela abaixo de todo mundo a ponto de eu ter ficado acidentalmente preso no Copilot em um PC de jogos portátil e ter que reiniciar o dispositivo para sair dele. É como se as equipes internas da Microsoft tivessem décadas de antecedência para atirar umas nas outras na cabeça, com resultados previsíveis.
Para ser sincero, já estou farta. Vou usar o Fedora no meu PC e o Bazzite (ou SteamOS) nos meus dispositivos portáteis.
Acho que o Linux no desktop está pronto para as massas agora, não porque tenha avançado muito. Ele está pronto para as massas usarem porque o Windows piorou tanto que continuar a usá-lo é um prejuízo ativo para a experiência do usuário e a estabilidade. Sem mencionar o preço da memória RAM ultimamente, você precisa de cada gigabyte que puder obter, e o Linux para desktop permite que você desperdice menos com besteiras supérfluas que poucas pessoas realmente querem."
Major Linux gaming win this morning as Phil Spencer confirms over a leaked phone call that Microsoft will be pulling support for the Halo franchise on Windows and Xbox, leaving it an exclusive title for PlayStation and Linux for the foreseeable future.
"I just can't take this shit anymore." he cried over the line, as his wiretap rights were being grossly violated. "Nobody liked my platforms anyway. They were all fake players. To hell with them."
Alter, ist #Word scheiße zu bedienen... Warum versucht das an allen Stellen schlauer als die Benutzer zu sein!? Und jetzt drängt sich auch noch überall CoPilot mit rein. Ich habe den Eindruck, dass die UI der eigentlichen Nutzung komplett im Weg steht.
LibreOffice mag ja nicht so schön sein. Aber das tut einfach, was es soll.
so Microsoft Office has a "Show your pride" feature, so I tried it and it changes the icon only... but look, it changes back to the old Office icon (with pride border of course)! This is truly very Microslop lol

With the US acting more and more like a rogue state, it's time to impose your own personal sanctions.
Bite the bullet. Stop using Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta and ChatGPT - where you can. Hit them where it hurts and burst that AI bubble.
Most of the barriers come down to inconvenience.

No Microsoft Office Did Not Just Get Rebranded to 365 Copilot
"Many social media posts on Twitter/X, Bluesky, and other platforms are discussing Microsoft Office's rebranding as Microsoft 365 Copilot, with some of the posts calling it "breaking" news, including the official account for Perplexity AI. See, we told you AI isn't a good source of information."
https://www.howtogeek.com/no-microsoft-office-didnt-just-get-renamed-to-microsoft-365-copilot/
Microsoft renamed the whole Office suite to Copilot. 🤣
Please bear in mind that calling "AI" output "slop" makes Satya Nadella sad. Under no circumstances should you call their office suite "Microslop Slopilot". That would just be mean and you're better than that.
*) Copilot might not be your favorite app.
Inside #Microsoft HQ right now. Can't help thinking they think #Copilot is like this... #NowEvenNew #Microslop
Halt die Fräse, #Microsoft, äh, ...slop.
Der einzig angemessene offizielle #Behörden-Font, solange die #IT auf #Microsoft und co. läuft, ist übrigens "Ransom Note".
🚨 BREAKING: Microsoft just renamed Office to "Microsoft 365 Copilot app"
All users are now "AI users"

Hey Guys, gals, people and pets, Satya Nadella is getting tired of people calling AI Slop output AI Slop. If everyone can stop that's be great as it is upsetting Microslops share holders.
Don't start calling Microslop Microslop or use the #microslop tag as it might burst the AI bubble and then Microslop might have to take SlopPilot out of Windows. As you know, that would be terrible.

Microsoft Office has been replaced by "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" 🙄 (not a joke, see office.com)
Fortunately there are many good alternatives on the Fediverse:
➡️ 
@libreoffice - Free open source office suite, can be used entirely offline
➡️ 
@CollaboraOffice - Online fork of LibreOffice, upstream contributor
➡️ 
@nextcloudNextcloud 📱☁️💻 - FOSS personal cloud including collaborative office tools
➡️ 
@CryptPad - FOSS online office suite with maximum privacy
(via 
@jbz )
@FediFollows @jbz #Microsoft Office still exists -- it's only their subscription service that is being renamed. You can buy "Office Home 2024" for $150.
Microsoft's CEO is really sad we keep using the word "slop":

This is bullshit.
I am going to bet the rate limits got bumped due to LLM scraping. Fscking clowns. 🤡
GitHub is not a serious code foundry.

There's not only an #Apple Steve. MS has their own stereotypical #DotNet version.
Talking of Steve-like jobs, this particular CEB Distinguished Engineer at #Microsoft sure loves to sprinkle #AI fairydust into disbelieving eyes, with 💫 dizzying enthusiast levels:
> “Our North Star is 1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code”
Rookie: What should I do?
CEB: We'll keep you out of the wind first few days. 250k LoC is fine.
(CEB = Chronically Excitable Ballmer, awarded to MS chief employees)
