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.
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.
Lmao
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
They just announced the death of XBOX too. Microslop gonna put AI/windows into consoles.
Looking forward to the next Xslop
slopbox?
Now you’re just trying to turn me on!!
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.
It’s the Streisand effect
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 always used to say that Gates named the company after his dick.
That was you?!? Brilliant
So you’ve seen Epic Rap Battles. How clever of you.
Never heard of that. It’s not exactly a difficult joke to make and I’m sure I’m not the only one to ever come up with it.
I might make Microslop Winslop 13, making fun of the AI hype cycle.
Sloperating system
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” more than a decade before the first ads with Hoffman and Justin Long in them.
That one was just as popular with windows users back in the day, or at least the groups I ran with.
What show is this? Assuming it is.
