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.

Literally this morning a client had a production problem. I asked for documentation and they sent a SharePoint link. I replied that we do not have or want access to their Microsoft ecosystem. They wasted over an hour trying to figure out how to email me a set of logs because their MS Org configurations do not allow sharing of files outside of company hardware. Good shit.

I hear signal is a great place to share information with many people.

some of them may even be the ones you want to share it with.

I keep my Signal exclusive to personal contacts. I did just send them a link to a private Proton Drive share and got around it that way.
