Microslop needs to ask Copilot about the Streisand Effect. As someone not chronically on social media, I hadn't heard about this term yet. Now, it's one of my favorites.

Funny enough, I've been experimenting with Copilot at work and it does have some genuine uses for looking up information quickly. Especially when trying to troubleshoot Microslop products. Between the disaster called "Windows 11", the cluster-fuck which is New Outlook and the complete shitshow which falls under the umbrella of "Defender", it's obvious that they have stopped investing in QA and testing. At least Copilot can help me find the right document to quickly tell me that I can't do something I used to be able to do in the old version of Outlook. Or, that Defender is incapable of doing things which even Symantec Antivirus had gotten right in the early 2000's.

Reminds me of the time when Disney allegedly* sent a memo to workers at Disney Land and Disney World telling them that, if they didn't stop complaining about the abysmal working conditions by calling both parks Mousewitz, they'd be fired.

Within the hour, workers started calling it Duchau in stead.

Why would Microslop do this? Aren’t they proud of the slop they are filling everything with? Or is this just a simple insecurity thing? Want us to call you Macroslop instead?

This is like going to someone's place and loudly and constantly insulting them. Would you put up with it if people were doing that to you? You don't have to be a Microsoft fan to find that kind of behavior unacceptable. Just because it's online doesn't mean that it's acceptable.

First: it's a brand, not a person. A brand can't be offended, because, as previously stated, it's NOT a person with feelings.

Second: People are just using a name because they are expressing their thoughts about what microslop has become. Doing what they did is basically telling the world they are 5 years old

Third: Look for a certain Streisand woman, name: Barbra.

Fourth: Please, don't be a shill. It's a corpo, you don't need to defend them, even you are on their payroll. They will survive without your defense.

It's really not. A corporation is not a person.

A random person also does not have control over aspects of my life via lobbying and contracts I have no influence over. And if such a person existed (say billionaires) then it would absolutely be acceptable to go to their place and insult them. That's called protest.

This isn't people going and insulting innocent little Microsoft who hasn't done anything. Microsoft's behaviour is seen as unacceptable and people are speaking up.

If you showed up at Microsoft HQ and started throwing out insults, why would that be acceptable? I'm not a fan of Microsoft but this seems to be a case of people being keyboard activists who would only act that way when they think they are anonymous. It reminds me, somewhat, of the guys in college who would harass girls online but act totally different in person.

One can protest without being insulting. I wouldn't walk into a room at Microsoft HQ and start throwing insults. However, this is Lemmy. There's a mentality here that justifies certain behavior.

First: I'm not saying not to use Microslop. I'm saying to not go to their place(s) and insult them there. If you do, don't bitch when they dropkick you out.

Second: I agree.

Third: You misspelled her name... How did you manage to do that?

Fourth: Don't be an ass. I'm not a shill and I'm not on their payroll. Just because I say that you shouldn't go to their property, insult them, and expect them to be fine and dandy with it, doesn't make me a shill. I'm not going to be part of your groupthink/circlejerk. I'll use Microslop myself but not on their property.

First: I’m not saying not to use Microslop. I’m saying to not go to their place(s) and insult them there. If you do, don’t bitch when they dropkick you out.

Again, it's not a person. It can't be offended. I'm not insulting a worker from Microslop if I say Microslop. Or is the CEO having a thin skin issue with this?

Third: You misspelled her name… How did you manage to do that?

Did I? https://releases.barbrastreisand.com/
I guess she did too? Since she calls herself like that even on her album covers?

Fourth: Don’t be an ass. I’m not a shill and I’m not on their payroll.

I'm not insulting "them" but IT. I'm insulting IT, as in a thing, called microslop. Which, as I said, is not a person and doesn't have any feelings. If they can't stand critics about what they are doing (which is the reason why they are being called microslop), then they should stop being a business. Or are we going to start saying that we shall not insult a company "or else"?

I don't know if I was actively and consistently stealing people's data; shitting out broken software that workers will be forced to use and all but telling people to go fuck themselves when they complain. I'd be expecting a lot more then insults.

You keep focusing on "a person". I don't walk into Grease Monkey or Artic Circle and start insulting. I use Arsenic Circle off the premises.

Heh. I guess I'm more used to Barbara and never really listened to Barbra's music.

I'm saying that if you insult a company on their property then don't bitch if they kick you out. Just because you are not insulting a specific person doesn't mean that they have to allow you to behave badly.

That doesn't mean that they have to tolerate it on their property. People (certainly here) seem to be expect that they can go anywhere and say anything and everyone is supposed to just take it. Companies are allowed to ban you unless it violates an applicable law and the First Amendment (in the USA) is for protection from the government, not a private business. If I talk trash about Walmart in one of their stores they can have me leave. I don't have some special protection.
