scales back?
I just got an update that puts a persistent copilot overlay in the corner of Excel, blocking my cells. and the same update seems to have added a context menu that shows up on left click on a squiggle word in Word, which again blocks my document unnecessarily. I use neither of these features. I want neither of these features. I want to use the fucking program to do my goddamn work
That little floating copilot icon in excel is the devil's work. I'm not a violent person but whoever came up with that should be flogged (IDK what flogging is but it sounds appropriate lol).
Flogging is a form of punishment where you get whipped.
