What community is there to house around Microsoft Copilot? Seriously, why does Microsoft Copilot need a Discord Server? What do I talk about when I join the Microsoft Copilot server? What are we doing here?

I have been in similar groups, and trust me, there are a lot of very enthusiastic users sharing their tools, success stories etc.

I stopped paying attention after a while as they get repetitive.

Don’t they have better things to do? Maybe vibecode a taskbar that moves when you try to move away the mouse over it or perhaps a windows 12 installation procedure that requires a fecal sample and iris scan?

Combine fingerprint biometric with fecal samples for a convenient "fecalprint" button. The user doesn't even have to go into the bathroom! It can be microslops version of Apple's TouchID.

Wow, so someone opened a discord server for a community and banned an insulting word for the community? This must be a first.

Is "Microslop" really insulting , though?

It is definitely an insult because it’s used pejoratively. If it is insulting I guess depends on if the target feels insulted. Seeing as they blocked the word, it seems they do.

It reminds me of the US army and their fabulous idea to open a Twitch channel. Went as well as you expect.

Sometimes they have good ideas, America's Army was pretty popular for a while for example.

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$

As I said, I was not aware of the insult.

Windows 11 is definitely failing in weird ways for me, I don't know if it's due to slop. The latest example is that I can't launch Notepad via the start menu... I can launch other apps though.

Enshitification doesn't roll off the tongue quite the same way. You have 10,000 systems all each interacting at a 90% success rate when it needs to be 99.999%.

They fired all the SDETs 11 years ago. It's catching up with them.

I guess I was more of the FCKGW generation. :)

Ah, FuCK Gates, William. I think there were at least three other commonly used codes, but this one was by far the most popular.

I'm pretty sure 000-0000000 worked (at least on windows 95)
