They’re actually quite lucky to be called “Microslop” instead of what we used to call it back in the day…
I was there. What did we call it?
Microshit
should be Macroshit
We used to refer to the company with this despicable name
Micro$oft
That showed them how mad we were at them! Big mad!!
“I know, I was there!”
I was like “Developers. Developers Developers. HuhaHA”
Microshaft
people quickly started testing variations like “Microsl0p” to slip past the filter
Why don’t they just use that AI they’re so fond of to cover this situation
They asked the AI and it told them it was too expensive at scale.
They probably already chose a new name.
Probably something ass-hatted such as ‘Microhard’
Microhard already exists, they are a radio module vendor in Canada. So presumably Microsoft will sue them to make them change their name.
The intended takeaway is “Microsoft is getting less bad”, but I don’t think their brand reputation is salvageable by anything short of putting all C-levels in stocks on the front lawn in Redmond and a full repudiation of copilot/ai which obviously won’t happen.
If it smell like poop and look like poop…
MacroSlop was far more accurate in any event.
From what I’ve seen coming out of Redmond recently, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that the “Microslop” filter broke with some random update as opposed to being intentionally disabled.
