Microslop is the new micropenis
Someone called it Microslop Cope-a-lot, and I love that.
Is there a large vehicle to compensate for microslop?
2011 Ford F-250 with Windows Embedded Automotive
It’s called a data center. You can generate so many compensators in one of those bad boys, driven or otherwise!

Love that their CEO is being openly and globally mocked for this.
“Microslop”? Love it! The new name I mean, not what they’re doing. Going to spread this around among some people who don’t social media for some good times.
And then in a perfectly tone deaf manner, they rename Office as “Copilot app”
This made me laugh so hard when I first saw it.
“They shot themselves in the foot and don’t even know it”
Yeah, last year I had noticed they replaced ‘office.com’ with a chat prompt. I went to open a document and suddenly it’s asking me to chat with it.
So just for fun, I decided to see if I could actually use the chat to get the file open. Turns out, no, it couldn’t deal with my files unless I separately found it and uploaded it.
The first and foremost UI for Office could not find my file on onedrive and open it. Not only is it putting the chat first in an app that had been for editing documents, it doesn’t even facilitate working on the files.
Office has like the worst LLM integration of big things with LLM integration, and they’ve declared that to be the focus of the product…
It’s utterly ridiculous. They’re desperate to add AI everywhere since they’ve made huge investments without generating meaningful profit, so they have to at least pump up usage numbers so they can argue “it’s a long-term investment” towards their shareholders.
That does make the most sense. A pretty common thing in those companies, ‘bet the company’ on some big brand/concept, then when it fails do rebranding of/bundling with more successful products and declare victory to your investors, collect your bonus and enjoy the money you get to keep when/if the chickens come home to roost. Ideally on the next executives tenure so you still get to blame them for messing up ‘your vision’.
One of my favorite examples, IBM had Sam Palmisano declare a ‘Roadmap 2015’ and then immediately retired, claiming the hypothetical victory of his entirely made up projections, and blaming Ginni Romnetty for failing to deliver. See also their attempt to brand a whole lot of unrelated stuff ‘Watson’ in the wake of the jeopardy stunt, and their reclassifying basically all their hardware sales as ‘cloud’ to investors when nothing credible popped for them, and they just said ‘anything that might be virtualization is cloud’, even if it were the same exact virtualization they had been doing for decades…
Good. Just scrap that fucking system entirely. It will be more costly to fix that broken shit, than to start over fresh and propper.
It’s good to see the old ways still being followed. We were calling them Microslop back when Windows ME released.
I… don’t think that’s true. Google trends also confirms this is a new name invented now because of the word slop trending, but I welcome being proven wrong.
I remember we had lots of variations like Micro$oft, Microshaft, Microhard, Microshit, Microsloth, etc.
Maybe it was just my office.
Concur, ‘slop’ as a common word is pretty new.
We had the names for all the potentially frustating platforms, deserved or not. I recall:
- AIX (just pronounce as ‘aches’)
- PHUX
- Slowlaris
Concur, ‘slop’ as a common word is pretty new.
LMAO what? Slop has been a word in common usage for centuries.
In the context of being the go to word for low quality output for tech…
Ah yes, it was probably micro$loth
Pretty sure it was MicroSUX
In French, I like to call it “Microchiote”, cause “chiote” is a familiar name for toilet.
And for “Windaube” cause “daube” mean (Slang) Something of poor quality.
Microslop Nopilot 364

I’m waiting for the SlopilotOS rebrand announcement.
Microslop’s next move is to rebrand Office into Slopilot.
They genuinely did rebrand office “The Copilot app” I shit you not. Check it out https://www.office.com/
it’s a sneaky move to make it seem like Copilot is generating revenue.
Otherwise why torpedo one of your biggest and most recognized products with a name change like this? Stupid either way, and the result of executive circle jerking.

Is Elon Musk on Microslop’s board or something?
The one that baffles me is renaming Remote Desktop to “Windows App.” There was a time in American history when doing something that stupid was punished by having a trocar hammered through your tear duct at the Brain Stirring Clinic.
WTF!?!?
🤣🤣 🤣
Do you pronounce it, slow plot or slop o’ lot?
Or slow pilot
I say it like Lancelot.
