It's more and more baffling that people use M$FT for anything besides video games.

#312There is only one problem with the term "microslop" coming out of Microsoft.
It should be called "macroslop", just after the amount that company is putting out there.

#313They are back in their villain arc. For a while now.
Were they ever out of it? A wolf in sheep's clothing is still a wolf... Microsoft has been incredibly anti-consumer for the duration of their existence (even before Steve Ballmer made it blatent)

#314it will take years to fix their broken products, if they ever focus on that
They don't have to, because dispite how incredibly bad they are, people have shown that they don't care. According to the average user, Windows isn't bad, that's just how computers are. They don't care that there's any other way of doing things; the cheapest computer at Best Buy runs windows so that's what every computer must be.
Piggies love to eat slop.

You can't build a community if you ban everything except soulless corporate dronespeak. Nobody would ever be interested in joining it without getting paid for it. That's a business meeting, not a community.
Banning slashdot-esque nonsense is not banning "everything except soulless corporate dronespeak"
But if they want to get rid of "slashdot-esque nonsense", they should behave in a way that doesn't encourage it. The fact that the jokes are cringe and played-out is beside the point; this isn't going to change anyone's attitude.

#316Several hours worth of anal probe jokes on an article that could likely warrant an actual discussion? That was disappointing to read here.

These days games run better on Linux, in case anyone didn't know.

#318Don’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?
I’m at the point to tell people (friends, neighbors, fellow parents, family, ie, not HN readers) to prolong the life of their existing computers and install what I think is the easiest windows equivalent on their computers: kubuntu. Gnome is nice and all, but the default ui, and remember defaults matter for a lot of people, is just too jarring. The people I am talking about just wanna browse the web, go on Facebook a…
Surely it doesn't matter what the DE is then? My mum adjusted from Windows XP (when that was current) to Ubuntu 14-ish fairly easily, by simply remembering "switch it on and then click on the big swirly fox thing".

I’d like some vibe coding be done such that I can move the task bar to the left vertically, similar to how MacOS lets me move the dock. It gets in the way of games when you mouse over the taskbar as you try to scroll down in many games.
You can right click and uncheck "Lock the taskbar" and then drag it to the left side. Or am I misunderstanding your problem?
I'm on Windows 10 btw, no idea if it still works on 11.

Simple. Don't produce slop then. If it offends you so much that people call your work as it is, you should do better work, grow some thicker skin, or stop.
I'd agree but if you ever been on the receiving end of a meme-train you'd see that it's not driven by rationality. I'm not familiar with this issue but my bet would be that even hand-crafted personal projects were being called slop because once meme runs away from initial meaning it just becomes closer to swear word than a meaning.
If there was a lot of handcrafted personal projects coming from Microsoft, their reputation would change. But there isn't. I would imagine anyone who is interested in "handcrafted personal projects" sees the writing on the wall and is at least looking to leave Microsoft, which seems to be positioned to be the Prime Slop Factory.
