Don’t they have better things to do? Maybe vibecode a taskbar that moves when you try to move away the mouse over it or perhaps a windows 12 installation procedure that requires a fecal sample and iris scan?
> installation procedure that requires a fecal sample and iris scan<p>Do you work for Microsoft or something? Please do do not give them ideas.
Microslop*
"Only for your own good!™" or alternatively: "Security next level! Fingerprint was yesterday. The future is Microsoft's new iris scan." and then it is built in a way, that you can simply hold up a photo of someone's iris and unlock the device, or trying to prevent that, works so badly, that half of the time you cannot unlock your own device.
You'll have to wear the fecal probe at all times while using Windows 12, for security reasons, and every command you issue will cause it to move around and take another sample, in order to make sure you are still physically there. On the plus side, it will make it painfully obvious to every Windows user how they are being fucked by Microsoft.
Maybe facebook can ride on this and let you share your feces with your friends family and groups of strangers from the internet! They can run models that predict what you ate and show relevant ads.
> "Only for your own good!™"<p>Very few things trigger me more than this doublespeak.

Remember, it is for the children. /s
They're not. Operating systems will be legally required to ask for such samples in some jurisdictions by 2028. Linus has fecal_sample.ko lined up for merge in 7.3 or so.<p>/s but we jumped to the Black Mirror timeline so who knows?
> moves when you try to move away the mouse over it<p>They already did that. I sit down at my computer and try to activate the window I want to work in, and the "location" icon temporarily appears in the notification area which causes all the taskbar icons to shift left. I accidentally click the neighboring icon and launch an app that throws up a splash screen for 60 seconds while it loads.
We should start this process early and all start sending our fecal samples to MS headquarters.
> requires a fecal sample
So requires the user to log in?
Error: Timeout. Please submit iris scan less than 60 seconds after fecal sample.
The next step is mandatory id verification for the age check on login.<p>To protect the children.
Combine fingerprint biometric with fecal samples for a convenient "fecalprint" button. The user doesn't even have to go into the bathroom! It can be microslops version of Apple's TouchID.
You're absolutely right! It's not just a fecalprint button, it's a feces platform!
just press your bumhole to the glass
I’m at the point to tell people (friends, neighbors, fellow parents, family, ie, not HN readers) to prolong the life of their existing computers and install what I think is the easiest windows equivalent on their computers: kubuntu.<p>Gnome is nice and all, but the default ui, and remember defaults matter for a lot of people, is just too jarring.<p>The people I am talking about just wanna browse the web, go on Facebook and use their gmail. Look at funny YouTube videos. The default KDE ui has that windows start menu and looks roughly the same so they can hit the ground running.
My family switched to Gnome 2 a couple of decades ago. My mother quite liked it and has consistently installed it on every new computer she bought. Her only confusion lately has been with the ubuntu snap packages and how they behave between multiple accounts on the machine.<p>These days she uses MATE which still offers that Gnome 2 layout. Awesome thing about Linux is that option to fork, so her desktop environment has remained consistent for over 20 years.
Cinnamon has a very classic Windows layout. I am getting very comfortable using MX Linux with KDE, especially that I have been able to move my NVME drive over several laptops now. Starting to get the itch to find a rolling distro to skip reinstalling the OS every two years.
That's a great idea the task bar could just shift to expose a link to sign up for azure/office/OneDrive/CoPilot subscription that the user misclicks on.
In different canton (equivalent to US states) in Switzerland, you take the sample at home, and go to the post office to send it.<p>So why not to create a M365 account? International dispatch to the US :D
I can really see them ship the first, that's at the same time very funny, and quite sad.
first one is a really slick tooltip ui to make sure people read tooltips. hover over button, it slides out while revealing tooltip text in its place, move cursor to button again<p>if you want to make sure people read a lot of instructions you can chain this so that you need to hover over the button multiple times, revealing the instructions a bit at a time
Anal folds are as unique as fingerprints. Please submit a high quality hole pic to Microsoft for identity verification
“Your sample was insufficient. Please try again later.”
Will the oral and anal probe be clearly marked, or will you only get a warning of "swap the probes" after pushing them into wrong holes?
Someone misheard iris for anus? lol

Hehe, this reminds me of 30 years ago when people used to stylise it as Micro$oft or creatively misspell it as Microshaft, etc. Even on the Amiga, there was the filesystem that could read PC format disks that was called MessyDos. It just seems like the next generation has discovered what an easy name it is to make puns from.
If you're German-speaking: "Klopilot" and "Vibrierkot" are some modern day personal favorites.<p>On a similar, nostalgic note, I recall boot screens for "Sinnlos 98" floating around, back when modifying the bootup logo was a thing.
There are regions in Germany (Hessen) where "Azure" is pronounced the exact same way as "Ärger" (trouble). Makes you think...
Ok, Vibrierkot is something for the German shitpost communities with all my Zuhausis im Zwischennetz.
> Klopilot<p>funnily enough works just fine in Polish
You made me laugh, thanks.
As a Polish man I love Klopilot <3
Maybe you can explain it for we non German speakers.

MS-DOS itself is derived from QDOS, which stands for "Quick and Dirty Operating System".<p>Things only went downhill from there.
In Brazil people used to say "Ruindows", which is a play with the portuguese word for bad.
Last week on a comedy show (the daily show) they made a joke about bill gates "micro and soft" which was old in the 90s already, so I can confirm this is the case.

Orgs have had sensitive skin like this for a long time. Gamespy was a service for launching and playing multiplayer games with lobbies before Steam, and if you “accidentally” typed “GaySpy” (it was the early 2000s) it would autocorrect to “GameSpy” by the time it appeared in your messages.
I used to have a M$ email signature 30 years ago, and pay, nowaydays I mostly use Windows on my laptop, because I am not willing to pay Apple prices even though I can afford them, and even last year I was dealing with GNU/Linux installation issues on a Gigabyte BRIX.
My favorite nickname for MS-DOS is "Domestos" (pronounced /də ˈmɛs ˌtɒs/) which is a brand of bathroom cleanee from the UK.

Also a fan of M$, Winblows…<p>Thank goodness their employees have time to crack down on people making fun of them on fucking Discord. That should definitely be the priority of a multi-trillion dollar software company, is making sure your users aren’t mocking you. We don’t need a taskbar that works reliably or anything.

What community is there to house around Microsoft Copilot?
Seriously, why does Microsoft Copilot need a Discord Server?
What do I talk about when I join the Microsoft Copilot server?
What are we doing here?
I'd imagine that there's some discussion about how to make the most out of the tool as well as discussion of experiments and capabilities. I'm not even sure what exactly "Microsoft Copilot" entails anymore because of the multiple rebrands, but having a place where you can discuss exploring plugins and other adjacent features seems useful.<p>Not quite the same, but recently I was recently looking around for communities centered around Claude Code for discussion about people's workflows as well as discussion about what plugins people are using and if they notice it making a significant difference.<p>Since the technology is still evolving, having an active community can help you discover new patterns and explore the space more effectively.
> [...] I'm not even sure what exactly "Microsoft Copilot" entails anymore [...]<p>Watching from the sidelines (not a Microsoft user), I've completely lost track. Between this, the Azure 365 cloud whatever stuff, I have no idea what many of the products even exactly are any more.
Simply put Microsoft is the worst company at naming stuff. Even when they come up with a good name for something, they'll name 3 other totally different products the same thing to maximize confusion.
Seriously? Does anybody know what Copilot is? I don't think I have ever seem a "Copilot user", so I don't know what it looks like. Is it the little macro key on new laptop keyboards? The chatbot you get in Bing? A technical philosophy? Or is it in essence just copilot.com, the mediocre chat interface which you used to get free GPT-4 three years ago?
<i>I'm not even sure what exactly "Microsoft Copilot" entails anymore</i><p>I'm pretty sure Clippy and Rover had a child and it got bit by a radioactive LLM.
There is a chance that it's actually a Microsoft Office discord that was rebranded to Microsoft Copilot.
They saw other successful AI products with discords (like midjourney) and then they probably just copied the idea thinking they would get similar success from it.<p>That's a lot of what big corp america strategy boils down to -- copy your competitors.<p>Don't get me wrong, creating a passionate community around a product is a great strategy for many reasons, but microsoft never had passionate users in the first place.<p>And it is telling that they are banning humor and criticism form their community, it shows they do not want have any criticism for their product, which is one of the benefits of community (fast and honest feedback loops). Its sort of like north korea where saying anything bad about the "great leader" or else. That's not a fun community, that is a community people want to leave but can't bc they will get shot at the border.
An awful lot of corporate workers are stuck with Copilot as their only approved chat option, so some of them are probably trying to learn how to get the best results they can from it.
The same as every other Discord server: Giving a few people the feeling of power over dozens of channels with memes and unsearchable low-quality "discussions".
I have been in similar groups, and trust me, there are a lot of <i>very</i> enthusiastic users sharing their tools, success stories etc.<p>I stopped paying attention after a while as they get repetitive.
It needs a Discord Server because MS Teams is just that good X_X
How do you do, fellow kids?
I have Copilot through work.<p>I haven't used the Discord, but having a place to ask for help using it doesn't seem farfetched.
Being Microsoft, you'd think they would just offer a public Teams server instead? Not that you'd get more traction with it, but at least it's in-house and theoretically they would be motivated to build integrations on top.
Someone wanted to get paid to be a Discord mod.
It reminds me of the US army and their fabulous idea to open a Twitch channel. Went as well as you expect.
It’s just another checkbox in someone’s performance review, no need to think too hard about it.
Maybe all the users are OpenClaw instances?
Yeah ban the use of a catchy catch-phrase as you continue to shove AI down your user-base - that'll work. Streisand would be proud.
Most HN readers would now, but in the case somebody new reads it.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect</a><p>> The Streisand effect describes a situation where an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information results in the unintended consequence of the effort instead increasing public awareness of the information.
I don't take this lightly.
These are the folks who are doing what they can to be part of the government.
They simply cannot take criticism and this seems to be a pattern moving forward.
Oh no, how will people signal that some functionality or product in general is what they'd previously been referring as Mircolosp? er, Microsolps. wait, that's not it either, Macroslop. Micro$lop. Microsplo. Sorry, so many typos! <i>but you know what I mean.</i>
Microsoft, can you please let me remove recommendations from the start menu? Not just less recommendations. I want the category to not be displayed and taking up space.
That's hilarious, I didn't realize you couldn't turn it off. I just tried disabling all the recommendation options and it still shows the category, except now instead of recommended items, it says "to show your recent files and apps, turn them on in Settings."<p>This sort of thing used to bother me back when I took Windows seriously.
It can be ripped out using regedit, I'm sure.<p>It's been a while since I used Windows as a daily driver, but I did oscillate between W10 and Arch for about half a year, and the Arch mentality creeped into Windows. I ended up adding a context menu to Explorer so I could paste images on my clipboard directly to a the folder I had open. I had to create keys in the Explorer portions of the registry.<p>If I could do that, I'm sure you can root around in the Start Menu parts of the registry and rip it out.

Why is Microsoft using Discord and not Teams?
So non-employees join and provide free support to other users without having to pay them.
Why would anyone use Teams?
I don't think M$ does much dogfooding. The kinds of issues I encounter being forced to use their pan-awfuly for work makes me very skeptical of this idea.
Because it comes 'free' with an Office365 subscription. Embrace (<<you are here), extend, extinguish.<p>It's usually 'management'. The same management that won't pay for developer tools (including Slack) because 'why do you need that when you can do 95% of your work in VSCode?' It's also usually the same sort of management that can do 95% of their documents in... VSCode and markdown. Or LibreOffice.
Microsoft products are only free if your time has no value.
Having been in the position, on a corporate Active Directory network it very much easier to roll out Teams than anything else. It works fine at the kind of internal video calls that companies spend their days on.
I am for my day job. I still mourn slack and gsuite.
Microsoft employees largely use Macs, so no surprise.
Dogfooding only works when the dog food is edible.
Discord is owned by Microsoft IIRC.
Microslop doing Microslop things
This just means I'm going to say microslop in random places - documents, slides, emails and Teams chats. "Copilot 365" is welcome to give me a red squigly all it wants.
Someone needs to edit this title to change the first word to MicroSlop<p>I've never called them MircoSlop before, I haven't even written the word. But it's now my exclusive word for the company.<p>All I can hear is, it's working.
AI valuation is based on vibes not fundamentals. If the vibes are bad it could tank valuations. That's why theyre so sensitive.
Does M$ honestly expect a positive outcome from this? What do they hope to accomplish?
Macroslop
So this is the company pushing to be an integral part of everyone's lives, forcing it down everyone's throat without consent.<p>And they're already moderation a light hearted joke about their low quality products.<p>Doesn't really bode well for the future product Vision.
The default of making a public discord for your project/company always seemed like a bad idea anyway. It’ll always devolve into some drama or distracting overhead to moderate it
I think we've found the 2026 word of the year already!<p>Let's get it out there and make this happen!
Was hitting too close to home it seems...<p>But to be fair, corporate discords have to be like that. Why not create your own channel with your colleagues instead? This discussion would be "private" and corporate can just ignore it.
> create your own channel with your colleagues instead<p>Dont even think about it ... it will be private till it isnt then, it will be the reason you are fired. Its corpo world - shut your mouth and dont put anything on a permanent record you dont have to.
Like, why have a public discussion if we can have a private one? Public discussions are important, especially as AI is largely a political project
If I were to bet on what would get a Microsoft Discord server shut down, I would have put money on discussions of the ties between Microsoft executives and Epstein. They should be happy if the worst thing that's happening is a mildly deragatory nickname.
The way people react to criticism tells you a lot about how deep your remark cut. Clearly Microsoft people know their stuff is slop and are having a hard time coping with that.
Microslop? Hmm... Never heard that before! Meanwhile, I just randomly remembered that I haven't opened a couple of dozen social media accounts in ages. BRB!
This is why 2026 will be The Year of the Linux Desktop
Ah yes another company disregarding the Streisand effect - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect</a>.<p>No one in my circles said this, now I've heard it twice now through headlines of Microsoft trying to punish or block it.<p>Now I've started saying it too.
Micro$lop then.
Macroslop
After that. Microshlong
Microslop.<p>Has a nice ring to it.<p>Thank you Streisand effect!
MS has some snowflake (not Snowflake) execs... Poor little management, they need their safe space from a mean old word.
They are back in their villain arc. For a while now.
I would be angry too. Its definitely not that micro.
Microslop can't get one right. What is it with them these days..?
it will take years to fix their broken products, if they ever focus on that
I propose we refer to them as Microslop from now on.
Before this article I'd have thought that Microslop was used to designate small snippets of AI slop, like "Let that sync in" or "And to be honest" and "It's not X, it's Y" and "Deepdive" and "Delve".<p>But nice to see that MS is Streisanding their way to a nice new nickname!<p>What were the sloperators of that channel thinking?<p>In any case, it should be Micro$lop (may not be banned...yet).
Microstreisand?
May I coin the term "Slopware"?
> <i>the software giant can’t risk getting more hatred towards their expensive investment in Copilot, especially since Microsoft’s head start in AI is starting to be overshadowed by competitors like Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and maybe even Apple in the near future</i><p>This sentence is from TFA, and I can't for the life of me understand it. "Head start"?? WTF?
I wonder what is Apple equivalent for this term
Crapple, probably.
Slopple
Sloppy.
I would honestly be embarrassed to call myself "micro soft" in general.<p>Unless you're into that kind of thing.
365Slop all day every day all around
Wow, so someone opened a discord server for a community and banned an insulting word for the community? This must be a first.
Is "Microslop" really <i>insulting</i>, though?
You can argue that banning insults is a bad look, bad move, that the insult is warranted or whatever, but are you really going to die on the hill that calling the company Microslop isn't insulting?
insult (verb): to say or do something to someone that is rude or offensive<p>Corporate personhood at its finest.
Hey now, what's wrong with 'slop?' A farmer <i>loves</i> slop. It's dirt cheap, and the pigs don't seem to mind...
It is definitely an insult because it’s used pejoratively. If it is insul<i>ting</i> I guess depends on if the target feels insult<i>ed</i>. Seeing as they blocked the word, it seems they do.
The branding people will hate it. Although IMHO the best thing they could do is co-opt it as a feedback term and acknowledge that AI can be hit or miss.
Less insulting than Macroslop
Why wouldn’t it be? It’s a mean derivation of their company name.
It's as insulting as M$ is
Has there ever been a single good piece of writing that uses "M$" or the likes?<p>"M$" may not be insulting in itself, but it's certainly typically associated with insultingly poor writing.
How is M$ insulting? It just looks like a leetspeak version of MS.
And other insults are just words as well. It's the intention, history, connotation etc. behind words that give them meaning. M$ is meant as an insult, hence it's insulting. <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/M$" rel="nofollow">https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/M$</a>
It is supposed to indicate Microsoft cares only about money, which to me too, seems in the same league as microslop, i.e. mildly insulting but really not rude enough to be worth censoring.
It would be mean if they weren't actually vibecoding copilot & md into notepad, introducing an RCE vulnerability.<p>In notepad.
Why get yourself twisted like this?<p>They can do a bad thing, and then you can make fun of it with an insult.<p>Own it, the insult is warranted, why hide and pretend it's not an insult.<p>If Microsoft is consistently shipping slop, then they deserve insults over it; not every "bad" thing is always unwarranted. Locking someone in a box is "bad", prison is a necessary thing that benefits society. Insults are "bad" and sometimes warranted.
They did not rewrite Notepad in Rust? Seems to be an easy target
Maybe they should stop insulting their users with the slop they put out and charge for then.
I think the most important question here is this: Are users who post the string "microslop" generally desirable participants that will contribute in a productive manner?<p>I suspect not.
It depends what the purpose of the Discord channel is. Is it for open and frank discussion, or for MS drones to discuss Copilot development. It's a cliche, but banning certain words smacks of 1984-style censorship.
An even more important question is: why does Microsoft care <i>so much</i> about a handful of people using that term that they are willing to risk getting Streisanded over it?<p>Nobody cares about banning the few idiots who do nothing but spam "MICROSLOP SUCKS MICROSLOP SUCKS". But banning the entire term "microslop", just in case someone <i>might</i> use it? Well, what kind of response were they <i>expecting</i>?
>An even more important question is: why does Microsoft care so much about a handful of people using that term that they are willing to risk getting Streisanded over it?<p>Because the decision was made by some normal adult without mental health issues who hasn't internalized just how disturbed some people on the internet are?<p>It really shouldn't be unreasonable for moderators to try to maintain a professional tone. Although in this case they certainly picked the wrong platform if "professional" was what they were going for.
This is one of those things that's hard to understand without practical moderation experience. The presence of an insulting meme <i>creates</i> the idiots who spam it, and creates a larger category of people who deploy it to toxify what would otherwise be polite and respectful discussion. And low quality comments that get a couple laugh reacts, even if you can consistently remove them within the hour, are fully capable of propagating it.<p>Keyword bans are definitely a heavy-handed option, they do risk the Streisand effect, and in the worst case that can require the scorched-earth counterresponse described in the source article. But sometimes there's just no other way to kill the meme.
If anything it is a diminutive for a company which really should have named itself <i>Megaslop</i> by now if not <i>Gigaslop</i> or even <i>Teraslop</i>. Poor little Microslop, are those people being nasty again?
It's insulting to good, honest slop.
Truth hurts the immature, which is also why censorship is rampant.
They really showed him, didn't they?
> someone<p>It's Microsoft's official Copilot Discord. Microsoft banned the word
I'm sad that "Klopilot" only works in German.<p>"Hello, copilot, do you create slop? -> Skibidi slop slop slop aiiiiiii"
What will Elon's "Macrohard" company be called? "Macroheil"?
they sincerely think that the primary problem they're facing is one of PR, don't they?
Is Micro$$lop banned?
Personally I think 2000s Micro$oft would be disappointed that 2026 Microslop is hosting user communities on a 3rd party platform owned other another company rather than using their own competitor.
Micro$oft
Ok, Microslop
That's a 'snatch defeat from the jaws of victory moment'
lmfao<p>> Microsoft's brand image may already be at an all-time low<p>and they decide to make it even worse. it's extremely obvious this would be an objectively terrible PR move. you always take banter on the chin and show that you're working on improving the product.<p>instead, they try to clamp down on the banter, which, without fail, achieves the exact opposite: banter increases tenfold and you get ridiculed for being overly sensitive to actual criticism
Is Micro$lop also banned?
Tells you a lot about where their focus is at as a company.
It's kind of interesting that Microsoft is deemphasizing if not exiting making products for individuals to decide to buy. Contrast that with Google, who have to actively cultivate individual customers in order to have a large and reliable audience for ad based monetization of search, maps, and other free at the point of use products.<p>There are good and understandable reasons to not want to be in the games business. Game studios are frequently a hot bed of sexual predation and just horrifyingly bad management in general. But it's a business with a large customer base that wouldn't be customers otherwise.<p>Microsoft has spent tens of billions of dollars acquiring game studios and their IP. They're going to have to make a decision to cultivate growth in that business or sell it for whatever they can get for it. Neither of those choices will be easy to execute well.
Suppressing dissent? Par for the course for them and their WEFfer mates.
IDK what's funnier/more pathetic, them doing this or an entire article getting written about it.<p>MicroslopSlop
> them doing this<p>Wouldn't any community that wants to encourage good quality conversations immediately ban everyone posting stupid slashdot-esque jokes like this?
You can't build a <i>community</i> if you ban everything except soulless corporate dronespeak. Nobody would ever be interested in joining it without getting paid for it. That's a business meeting, not a community.
Banning slashdot-esque nonsense is not banning "everything except soulless corporate dronespeak"
Yeah that's what LinkedIn in is for. If they just want people or bots to just fawn over everything they put out. I'm glad M$ is getting called out for the slip they put out.
Given that nobody else banned it we can now blame Microsoft for taking down the only decent online community. Now we are stuck on hackernews and its ilk.

Windows 11 is definitely failing in weird ways for me, I don't know if it's due to slop. The latest example is that I can't launch Notepad via the start menu... I can launch other apps though.
I have this problem with calc.exe. Sometimes it'll launch from the start menu, but often won't. I pinned it to the taskbar, but muscle memory is a powerful force, so I usually try to launch it from the start menu first.
Enshitification doesn't roll off the tongue quite the same way. You have 10,000 systems all each interacting at a 90% success rate when it needs to be 99.999%.<p>They fired all the SDETs 11 years ago. It's catching up with them.
I guess I'll have to go out of my way to refer to their shitty product as "Microslop Copilot" then.<p>What are they going to do? Ban me from using their operating system?
so this exists:<p>microslop.com
remember when they sued a HS student Mike Rowe for his microrowesoft website?
I am currently re-watching the HBO comedy show Silicon Valley, and oh man, is it hitting even harder this time than when it was originally released.

Hateful speech, really? If we called it Micro$hit maybe.... but if they are going to be buthurt because a bunch of gamers and sysadmins are annoyed at the horrific direction the company is taking, then they deserve it.

Most discord users are children, more news at 11
Discord/Reddit moderators living up to their obnoxious stereotype as usual.
I don't know for certain, but moderators (on a company Discord) are likely random people in a 3rd world country that are payed peanuts and that is their only income. If higher ups tell them "I don't want to see the Microslop word anywhere" they just do it.<p>You should be angry at the higher ups that instead of saying: "maybe they are right and we can do better" they decided to hide the problem through censorship. Which, btw, always has the opposite effect of putting what you are trying to hide in the spotlight.
Spamming "microslop" is obnoxious, filtering out childish behaviour is not obnoxious.<p>But if you don't want childish behaviour, Discord is an ... interesting choice.
