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?

Or maybe vibe code a bug fix for said taskbar so that random icons don’t disappear after sleep.

An even more important question is: why does Microsoft care so much about a handful of people using that term that they are willing to risk getting Streisanded over it? Nobody cares about banning the few idiots who do nothing but spam "MICROSLOP SUCKS MICROSLOP SUCKS". But banning the entire term "microslop", just in case someone might use it? Well, what kind of response were they expecting ?

This is one of those things that's hard to understand without practical moderation experience. The presence of an insulting meme creates the idiots who spam it, and creates a larger category of people who deploy it to toxify what would otherwise be polite and respectful discussion. And low quality comments that get a couple laugh reacts, even if you can consistently remove them within the hour, are fully capable of p…

They could kill the meme by...not producing slop.

Great! I can't wait for Clippy to tell me I need to eat more fiber. The future is awesome!

> installation procedure that requires a fecal sample and iris scan Do you work for Microsoft or something? Please do do not give them ideas.

"Only for your own good!™" or alternatively: "Security next level! Fingerprint was yesterday. The future is Microsoft's new iris scan." and then it is built in a way, that you can simply hold up a photo of someone's iris and unlock the device, or trying to prevent that, works so badly, that half of the time you cannot unlock your own device.

Am I missing something? That's Windows Hello.

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.

It doesn't, that was removed and never re-added.

Simply put Microsoft is the worst company at naming stuff. Even when they come up with a good name for something, they'll name 3 other totally different products the same thing to maximize confusion.

It's the new .NET

That wasn't so bad compared to Xbox, I still don't know which Xbox is the latest one.

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".

> Surely it doesn't matter what the DE is then? It matters a lot if you deviate from the ones that (are set to) behave in a similar way.

"Click the big orange blob" is pretty universal.

Although I guess one of the reasons I dislike KDE is because it's so random, unintuitive, and unfamiliar.

You'll have to wear the fecal probe at all times while using Windows 12, for security reasons, and every command you issue will cause it to move around and take another sample, in order to make sure you are still physically there. On the plus side, it will make it painfully obvious to every Windows user how they are being fucked by Microsoft.

Also, no swearing, no criticism nor using "microslop" otherwise Windows will shock you.
