I like it, I like it.
Thank you for pointing out this clearly superior word, you expanded my vocabulary!
Oh Microslop… throwing tantrums like a 5 year old brat
I loved the:
Of course, the internet rarely leaves things there.
There are many things wrong about the current Internet, but the pettiness against any affront (real or perceived) won’t ever die, and I think that’s good.
Reminds me of the time when Disney allegedly* sent a memo to workers at Disney Land and Disney World telling them that, if they didn’t stop complaining about the abysmal working conditions by calling both parks Mousewitz, they’d be fired.
Within the hour, workers started calling it Duchau in stead.
*read: probably
I get the Mousewitz part but what’s the reference to Dachau about? Duchau read like Duckau as in Donald Duck?
It might be that there is pun at all about them calling it Dachau and that was the point. Oh we can’t use this cheeky nickname anymore? Fine, we’ll just refer to it as Dachau. Ban that.
Dachau was one if the first concentration camps in Germany.
I am very aware, I was asking about the pronunciation/reference.
Yes, it’s as you stated, a reference to donald duck. A very loose reference.
Also, I’ve tried to find any reliable sources for this story at previous occasions, and it seems like it’s fully made up. The working conditions have reportedly been abyssmal which is likely the origin of the story, but that specific story is not real.
Remember how Americans would pronounce the ch. They already basically say Dackau, so Duckau isn’t a far stretch.
Am I the only one questioning why Microslop has a Discord server? Don’t they have a chat product?
“Hello I’m [generic person 2387362] and I’m the community manager for [generic corporation/tool/product 1892873]! I just started a few weeks ago and I’m so excited to announce that in the interest of [generic engagement and advertising], we’ve started a discord server! We [positive transitive verb] our community, and want to bring them together so they can share some of the [productivity success stories] they’ve had or ask the community for support! Remember, while this is an official [generic corporation] channel, by joining this community you agree to [27 pages of legal terms about them owning your messages and data farming you].”
You son of a bitch I’m in!! Where do I sign up?
It’s normal to just meet people where they are at on all the various platforms. As long as you can pipe everything back to customer data platform increasing scale through multiple social platforms has almost no downside and pretty minimal cost.
Don’t they have a chat product?
Many.
And Discord is among them.Seems like I missremembered something.
They do, but have you ever seen a party that everyone knows about but no one shows up to? That’s Microsoft’s non-paid chat service.
Go to microsoft dot com. Click their chat help bot. Ask “What is microslop?” get told, sorry, I cannot help you with that and turns itself off.
I just did that…and it said…‘‘it would seem you are referring to Microsoft’’ So all of your hard work was not in vain. It is now self aware
Losers, and on top sore… :D
Microslop needs to ask Copilot about the Streisand Effect. As someone not chronically on social media, I hadn’t heard about this term yet. Now, it’s one of my favorites.
Funny enough, I’ve been experimenting with Copilot at work and it does have some genuine uses for looking up information quickly. Especially when trying to troubleshoot Microslop products. Between the disaster called “Windows 11”, the cluster-fuck which is New Outlook and the complete shitshow which falls under the umbrella of “Defender”, it’s obvious that they have stopped investing in QA and testing. At least Copilot can help me find the right document to quickly tell me that I can’t do something I used to be able to do in the old version of Outlook. Or, that Defender is incapable of doing things which even Symantec Antivirus had gotten right in the early 2000’s.
I’ve said this before that if they made it optional and gave us the choice of using it as part of the operating system, then people might use it and might find reasons to like it. But shoving it down our throats is offensive and rapey. I’m not interested in being raped by microslop.
In fact, I am violently opposed to it. If one of the people that are shoving nopilot down our throats was in front of me, I would attack that person, at least verbally, but also possibly physically depending on their response.
Please edit your post to add Nopilot instead of copilot, its the superior word
Tempting. though I might have to go with FauxPilot.
I’m afraid this will be lost on the dipshits thinking you’re making some reference to Starfox
I still use windows 10.
Ah microslop kicking themselves for not buying discord
They would have run it into the ground with mismanagement and a new chat application would become the popular choice within a year, while Microslop’s new acquisition fades into obscurity, eventually to be depreciated and shut down my Microslop themselves.
As has happened multiple times already in history.
Only before microslop would have found yet more ways like charging for additional characters past a 250 word limit and connecting to a chat for more than an hour :'). I seriously miss groups/social. When microslop/xbox actually had that false sense of caring for their communities
Why would Microslop do this? Aren’t they proud of the slop they are filling everything with? Or is this just a simple insecurity thing? Want us to call you Macroslop instead?
That’s how any absolutistic regime reacts. Which companies usually are.
Which companies always are.
Look into how companies are actually managed. It’s almost always an absolute dictatorship under the complete control of the owner and/or CEO, who gets the last word on everything and can fire anyone at will. Sometimes you’ll have a board of directors or something acting as a check on the CEO’s power and able to replace them if necessary … but even then, that pretty much never actually happens. Their power is pretty much never actually checked.
Which is why I think “workplace democracy” should be the phrase leftists rally behind. The right has put a lot of work into poisoning and slandering the terms ‘socialism’ and ‘communism’, but ‘workplace democracy’ hasn’t been attacked like that. And it sounds very good to workers. If you get to vote on what your country does, why shouldn’t you get to vote on what your company does? After all, your company actually has a lot more effect on you and power over you in your day-to-day life. Why should some out-of-touch rich guy (probably a pedophile) get absolute control over the whole thing based on his fucked-up whims and vibes? Instead, we should have workplace democracy, where all employees get a say in how the company is run. (And then, without propagandized workers even realizing that they’ve done so, they’ve taken control of the means of production and enacted a form of socialism.)
I wanna join the server just to look at the absolute loser shit that must be going down in the “Aha AI Moments” channel
Microsoft locked all the channels in that discord within the last few hours.
Before that, every channel was Microslop nonstop. Apparently even giving them feedback (in the feedback channel) about the product is no longer allowed. Microsoft cannot handle the fact they dish out slop.
🎶 Barbra Streisand 🎶
Microslop should ask their own NoPilot about the Streisand Effect.
Microsoft’s dick is so micro and soft that they can’t stand even an unpleasant word on Discord.
