    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.

      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.
