I hate this timeline, but I do enjoy the small moments of absurdity when I can.
Go to microsoft dot com. Click their chat help bot. Ask “What is microslop?” get told, sorry, I cannot help you with that and turns itself off.
I just did that…and it said…‘‘it would seem you are referring to Microsoft’’ So all of your hard work was not in vain. It is now self aware
NoPilot
I like it, I like it.
Thank you for pointing out this clearly superior word, you expanded my vocabulary!
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.
*read: probably
I get the Mousewitz part but what’s the reference to Dachau about? Duchau read like Duckau as in Donald Duck?
Dachau was one if the first concentration camps in Germany.
I am very aware, I was asking about the pronunciation/reference.
Yes, it’s as you stated, a reference to donald duck. A very loose reference.
Also, I’ve tried to find any reliable sources for this story at previous occasions, and it seems like it’s fully made up. The working conditions have reportedly been abyssmal which is likely the origin of the story, but that specific story is not real.
Remember how Americans would pronounce the ch. They already basically say Dackau, so Duckau isn’t a far stretch.
It might be that there is pun at all about them calling it Dachau and that was the point. Oh we can’t use this cheeky nickname anymore? Fine, we’ll just refer to it as Dachau. Ban that.

Of course, the internet rarely leaves things there.
There are many things wrong about the current Internet, but the pettiness against any affront (real or perceived) won’t ever die, and I think that’s good.
Am I the only one questioning why Microslop has a Discord server? Don’t they have a chat product?
They do, but have you ever seen a party that everyone knows about but no one shows up to? That’s Microsoft’s non-paid chat service.
“Hello I’m [generic person 2387362] and I’m the community manager for [generic corporation/tool/product 1892873]! I just started a few weeks ago and I’m so excited to announce that in the interest of [generic engagement and advertising], we’ve started a discord server! We [positive transitive verb] our community, and want to bring them together so they can share some of the [productivity success stories] they’ve had or ask the community for support! Remember, while this is an official [generic corporation] channel, by joining this community you agree to [27 pages of legal terms about them owning your messages and data farming you].”
You son of a bitch I’m in!! Where do I sign up?
Don’t they have a chat product?
Many.
And Discord is among them.Seems like I missremembered something.
It’s normal to just meet people where they are at on all the various platforms. As long as you can pipe everything back to customer data platform increasing scale through multiple social platforms has almost no downside and pretty minimal cost.
That’s a bit weird. They didn’t get this worked up about being called “Micro$oft” or something. This is probably hitting the nerve in a completely different way!
They’re proud capitalists, so it never bothered them. They aren’t proud of their slopware though
Microsoft has over 200k employees, and the people (person?) managing the discord are probably at the bottom of the totem pole. I doubt they put more than 5 seconds of thought into this.
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?
Oh Microslop… throwing tantrums like a 5 year old brat
Lol, lmao even
Good old roflcopter.
Wait, this a picture? Seriously? Here’s some ascii art ones: https://gist.github.com/MatthewRalston/3f529c819e4976c7e6572f5682c8959f
Making me wanna put the old lollerskates back on or perhaps pet my dear old cat, roofles tenten mayo.
ROFLMAO
Doot do da do do

No, here’s the gif:
Idk Microsoft, maybe fix your AI so it doesn’t recommend Microsoft products that are either
depreciateddeprecated or don’t exist.It’s pretty embarrassing for you.
If it was the only bad thing about Microsoft, it would be pretty great though.
*deprecated
Thank you for the correction!
Microslop should ask their own NoPilot about the Streisand Effect.
And it’s MICROSCUM, not microslop!
Microsoft is tired of Microslop? Weird, that.
Then we’re all in agreement, right?
“oh you want us to stop saying Microslop? how about we remind you about this in 3 days instead :)”
Things must be rough for the AI fandom when a Discord made for CoPilot is unsustainably critical of CoPilot
Who else would even join except bots?
