So, the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu has rolled out @element@mastodon.matrix.org chat as a backup system to their default #Teams for the 33k officials. One official defended the new #Matrix-based system on an internal chat, according to Politico, by saying Teams wasn't as secure because "all we have is a guarantee that #Microslop [sic!] will not peek inside," and how can anyone not love that official. #DigitalSovereignty #DigitalSecurity #e2ee

No Microslop for me

The Netherlands joins Europe's gradual migration from Windows to Linux on government PCs https://www.xda-developers.com/the-netherlands-joins-europes-gradual-migration-from-windows-to-linux-on-government-pcs/ #Microslop #Microsoft #Linux #technology #government #TheNetherlands

This is truly glorious #AISlop from #Microslop in their "Introduction to Github" course. I don't know why Tim is working in the opposite direction, but I can see that he never once "morges" his code back into develop, let alone doing it "continvoucly" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/introduction-to-github/3-components-of-github-flow Update: It looks as though after 4-5 months the page has been updated, but if you want to see the image in situ still then the way back machine has you covered. https://web.archive.org/web/20260216165612/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/introduction-to-github/3-components-of-github-flow

I felt that Microsoft Copilot, formerly known as Office, could use a mascot. So I asked Copilot to design something in the spirit of Clippy. Let me introduce you to Sloppy, a cheerful slightly gooey assistant with glasses and a headset. #Microslop

Not only does microslop keep adding copilot without my consent, but they do it in the most intrusive way possible. This time, a colorful icon that hovers over the cells or documents that I'm trying to use. PS please don't tell me to not use microslop. It's not my choice. #microslop

I realized on Tuesday that it’s been slightly over a year since I gave up Windows on my daily driver PC which I sit at for 8-12 hours a day. Sure doesn’t seem like it’s been over a year. I’d really like to say I’m a lot smarter in the year of being a Linux and FOSS evangelist but I don’t think I am. I have learned a little bit, though 🤷🏻‍♂️ You don’t want to read this, but AI chat have helped a lot w/ my dumb newbie questions. Open LLMs if that’s any consolation 🤷🏻‍♂️ #FOSS #Linux #Debian #Ubuntu #LinuxMint #AIshit #MicroSlop

#windows crash other MS products after update. How surprising #microslop #vibe_coding

Windows keeps hanging because I’m trying to open a 36MB Excel file… So I shut down my other 4 instances of Excel, try to open the “big” file again - Windows automatically reopens the other 4 files too, then hangs again! I have 32G of RAM in this machine!!! Fucking #windows #enshittification #microslop

Oh noez... Microslop wants to bring more Copilot into Windows again. https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/08/05/after-25-years-at-microsoft-i-can-tell-you-why-windows-was-neglected/ What is interesting here is, that the argument is that Windows doesn't produce any revenue. I thought that there is a store. Not that I ever used it... but I hear it exists. #microslop #copilot #devestment #redmond

Recently I needed to quickly edit a picture to remove a few bits. So I fired up Paint on my windows machine to do that. Reader, did you know that Paint now has AI features? And like my experience with AI everywhere it's shit at its job. The only thing I wanted to do was erase some stuff, but the erase function is now "generative erase", meaning it spent about 5-10 seconds thinking on how to erase things AND THEN DIDN'T ERASE ALL OF IT. #ai #fuckai #microslop

@jonsnow@mastodon.online Most important sentence in the linked article is the last one: "If you want to block the OneDrive sync client from installing OneDrive Photos, you’ll need to remove OneDrive entirely from Settings > Installed apps." #Microslop #Microsoft #Windows11 #OneDrive #spyware #malware #enshittification #privacy #surveillance #software #technology

Windows 11 is quietly installing OneDrive Photos, and it wants to scan your photos for faces https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/07/29/windows-11-is-quietly-installing-onedrive-photos-another-image-viewer-that-nobody-asked-for/ #Microslop #Microsoft #Windows11 #OneDrive #spyware #malware #enshittification #privacy #surveillance #software #technology

The huge Xbox outage that has been going on for over 16 hours is not only stopping users from playing their digital downloaded games, it's also stopping them from playing their physical discs https://www.theverge.com/games/971545/xbox-outage-disc-physical-games #Microslop #Microsoft #Xbox #outage #enshittification #gaming #physicalmedia #technology

@wdormann@infosec.exchange That behavior my friend is called CMA (Cover My Ass). They try to delay as much as they can because if there is a breach with their code included they can always say “Hey, we didn’t know as nobody has yet reported this vulnerability.” #microslop #cma #microsoft

Chalk another one up for the #Linux crowd. They're confirming that this is how they caught the "hacker". Which, to be fair, he was do'n bad. You can't turn this off on Windows. https://www.ghacks.net/2026/07/12/microsoft-confirms-windows-gdid-device-identifier-that-cannot-be-disabled-documented-in-fbi-case-filing/ #microsoft #microslop #windows #fbi #spyware #privacy

Die Firma nervt seit einiger Zeit mit Schulungen zum Thema KI und CoPilot. Man soll den Mist auch noch geschäftlich nutzen, zum Glück bin ich nächste Woche endgültig raus. Ist nix mehr für Boomer #KI #CoPilot #microslop #kislop

Fick sista påminnelsen nu på morgonen: migrera mail, kalender och kontakter eftersom #Office365 avslutas i nästa vecka. Det är en månad sen som jag migrerade och jag minns att det gick överraskande smidigt. Misstänker att att det finns en IT-avdelning någonstans som gjorde en god förberedande instats. #exitMicrosoft #Microslop
