Is "Microslop" really insulting , though?

[flagged]

I would say that “microslop” is akin to the old term “micro$oft”, which was a good sign of immaturity of whoever used it.

Hehe, this reminds me of 30 years ago when people used to stylise it as Micro$oft or creatively misspell it as Microshaft, etc. Even on the Amiga, there was the filesystem that could read PC format disks that was called MessyDos. It just seems like the next generation has discovered what an easy name it is to make puns from.

If you're German-speaking: "Klopilot" and "Vibrierkot" are some modern day personal favorites.

On a similar, nostalgic note, I recall boot screens for "Sinnlos 98" floating around, back when modifying the bootup logo was a thing.

Why wouldn’t it be? It’s a mean derivation of their company name.

Maybe they should stop insulting their users with the slop they put out and charge for then.

Microslop doing Microslop things

Probably the AI blocked it

Maybe this is the real reason why companies want to use AI so badly.

They save money on salary but also they get to point at something they won't tattle against the executives during a plea bargain?
