Make Microsoft's CEO cry by installing Chrome's 'Microslop' extension (www.pcworld.com)

  • A Chrome extension called “Microsoft to Microslop” that renames Microsoft references in browsers as a protest against the company’s aggressive AI integration.
  • The extension reflects widespread user frustration with Microsoft’s Copilot AI, which faces extremely low adoption rates and growing privacy concerns among Windows users.
  • Many users actively seek ways to remove AI features from Windows, highlighting significant backlash against Microsoft’s AI strategy despite CEO dismissals of complaints.

I don't get why these lazy one-off text replacement extensions keep making "tech news". You can do this shit easily with a short userscript, and there are plenty of extensions for practically every browser that let you set your own text replacement settings. No need for individual extensions for each.

What meme archive of antiquity did you dig that up from?

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

not OP, but I'm almost certain that's xkcd (and it's an antique for sure)

Not sure the exact age, but it's xkcd 1288, they're up to 3195 now, and they're usually posted every Monday Wednesday and Friday.

Napkin math says roughly 12 and a quarter years ago. (3195 - 1288 for total comics since, / 3 for number of weeks since, / 52 for number of years since, gets you 12.22 ish)

There's some slightly more recent ones that are still many years old:

1625:

And 1697:

Lord, Channing Tatum. The Big Bang Theory. Truly from a different time.

I use the "Cloud to Butt" firefox extension for a while and I must say it was a good time being constantly reminded that I can store various things in my butt.
