Is Microsoft just another name for Microslop?
I think that’s what they were called before they rebranded.
Ah that makes sense.

I work in a small IT business, where I regularly setup notebooks or pc for the customer and install the software they need for work.
I always remove copilot from the Taskbar and the startmenu. Also usually install firefox with ublock origin, in the hope that they will try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.
Its not much, but it honest work.
how do you remove it?
I just right-click on copilot on the taskbar and remove, same with the startmenu. Im not uninstalling it in case someone suddenly “needs” it to save me some trouble plus its just a few clicks this way.
try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.
Why not just give FF the chrome theme, change the icon to chrome and strip out Edge? (If you can still strip edge out, it was a PITA on 10, I can’t imagine it’s gotten any better on 11l
What’s the point of such deception? As long as they’re able to recognise it as a web browser, no need for it.
I agree with Ryan Gosling on this.
Why is Ryan Gosling in this meme?
It was generated using copilot, for the added irony.
it’s kinda like rain, on your wedding day
I didn’t realize for way too long that the song “Ironic” had no actual examples of irony in it, and that in itself is ironic. Blew my mind.
Isn’t it iconic
Because he is a synth!

Refusing AI by using an AI generated meme?
But why?
Even AI thinks copilot is shit
You sure? this would be quite simple to whip up in photoshop
On your phone while being on the go in 5 minutes?
The face is wrong
the face is switched yeah, that’s what I am referring to
I wouldn’t say it is quite simple to do such a quality replacement in Photoshop. I’d argue that people with necessary skill level are rather rare.
Get the original picture instead of an AI manipulated one.
This deserves every upvote the top-level post got.
Cheers!
This is one of my favourites, thanks for posting the original!
Thank you. Fuck whatever AI slop OP posted.
I wouldn’t fuck it tbh.
ironic
Like rain on your wedding day
Like a free ride when you’ve already paid
Isn’t it ironic
Don’t you think?
I like you, weirdo.
but that’s literally me

So… uh… laptops have a copilot key on the keyboard now…
It’s exactly where my control key used to be, so I often hit that button and nothing happens, unless Im using a Windows via AWS and suddenly I keep getting copilot springing up.
It’s a really user hostile move knowing that people will accidentally hit that button
Can you rebind it?
It’s janky AF mess.
Internally the copilot key is hard coded to be meta + shift + f23. If you don’t recognise what the f23 key is, that’s because it was last featured over four decades ago on the IBM model M.
The fact that Microsoft has decreed that the Copilot key must send this exact shortcut of three different keys makes it very difficult to remap consistently.
Most keyboard remapping software (SharpKeys) work best at remapping single keys, not shortcuts. Windows users can use PowerToys to remap this three key shortcut, if you try to use it normally as a right ctrl, e.g. rctrl lshift p it doesn’t work consistently.
I suspect it might be because you’re essentially trying to send a whopping five keycodes for a shortcut, when most programs already struggle to handle 4.
Linux users were similarly out of luck until early last year, when most desktop environments fixed up the key codes.

Linux 6.14 Adds Support For The Microsoft Copilot Key Found On New Laptops - Phoronix - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.14-Input
So now I have to turn off the freaking Windows key and a copilot key.
Perfectly reasonable
And that’s why the internet is addicted to old Thinkpads. I actively avoid these “Copilot+ PCs” with the Copilot key when I shop for laptops, and you should too.
it is considered rude to show ai slop to other humans
Fake Ryan Gosling sez “HET!” to machine-generated memes.
yeah but “sir meemsalot” put his watermark on it so it must be good
My company forces me to use it. It’s shit. I asked for Claude. And this is what they give me. It can’t even parse the file I send it. It forgets I uploaded the file after about 16 seconds and asks for me to upload it again. It’s amazing how bad it is.
you can use the underlying model, you just have to rotate the key every 30 mins, but that’s scriptable.
My company pushes it too. It’s useful for some things, but you really have to be aware of its limitations. The same is true of Claude of course, but I have less problems letting Claude touch my code. The free GPT models work better as an interactive rubber duck or an interactive encyclopedia.
i think a rubber duck might be a better rubber duck.
Rubber duck can be used in the tub, so it’s the clear winner!
Using an ai image to portray this?
I get to participate in a project to see how well-adopted AI tools are in our company… with the intent to see where we should invest in more promotion and schooling in how useful and valuable they can be.
Didn’t have the heart to tell the manager requesting my assistance that I’m also one of the non-adopters and no amount of promotion or schooling offer is likely to change that. They’re lower management anyway, can’t change the decisions made higher up, and I’m not gonna pick fights and sour working relations where there’s nothing to win.
