It's as insulting as M$ is

How is M$ insulting? It just looks like a leetspeak version of MS.

And other insults are just words as well. It's the intention, history, connotation etc. behind words that give them meaning. M$ is meant as an insult, hence it's insulting. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/M$

Discord/Reddit moderators living up to their obnoxious stereotype as usual.

I don't know for certain, but moderators (on a company Discord) are likely random people in a 3rd world country that are payed peanuts and that is their only income. If higher ups tell them "I don't want to see the Microslop word anywhere" they just do it.

You should be angry at the higher ups that instead of saying: "maybe they are right and we can do better" they decided to hide the problem through censorship. Which, btw, always has the opposite effect of putting what you are trying to hide in the spotlight.

Was hitting too close to home it seems... But to be fair, corporate discords have to be like that. Why not create your own channel with your colleagues instead? This discussion would be "private" and corporate can just ignore it.

Like, why have a public discussion if we can have a private one? Public discussions are important, especially as AI is largely a political project

i'd argue a discord is never really "public", since there's still a barrier to entering and it's easy to get banned

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

It would be mean if they weren't actually vibecoding copilot & md into notepad, introducing an RCE vulnerability. In notepad.

They did not rewrite Notepad in Rust? Seems to be an easy target

Don't forget Windoze.

Don't forget Winblows

Another oldie

Ah, good times... :-)

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.

I used to have a M$ email signature 30 years ago, and pay, nowaydays I mostly use Windows on my laptop, because I am not willing to pay Apple prices even though I can afford them, and even last year I was dealing with GNU/Linux installation issues on a Gigabyte BRIX.
