    For shits and giggles I tried using copilot on windows 11 on my brand new x1 carbon laptop.

    Seeing those fucking loading bars they use for Microsoft 365 admin centers pulse for like 10 seconds was enough to make my blood boil.

    It’s bad enough they shove it everywhere, but do they have to make it also so fucking shitty?

    Then I Alt tabbed to Chatgpt and all was well.

      I’m dubious ChatGPT was any better considering it backs Copilot. I’ve found ChatGPT to be pretty much garbage versus Anthropic’s Claude. Curious about your experience though.

    When the copilot bar is larger than the search bar and it’s at the center of the screen, you know where their priorities are

      They spent a lot of money developing it, and now they have to justify that money. So they’re going to keep pushing it until some idiotic manager doesn’t have red numbers in their spreadsheet. Regardless of what people want.

      I hate modern MBAs.

      We can? I’ve been blocking it with uBlock Origin.

      Edit: Nearly all the settings are locked by my organization except for “Dashboard entry point” which is good enough for me.

    Everything Microsoft is pushing Copilot everywhere……. even Windows Notepad ffs. If there was ever an app that definitely didn’t need AI it was a basic text editor.

      At one point Microsoft had mentioned deprecating Notepad. I guess they decided to save it when they realized they had another vehicle for their Gen * A * I slop.

      It is essentially nonfunctional in powerautomate. For whatever reason on god’s green earth they would try that. It can only add nodes by name, something I’m sure the search function could achieve if improved. And it cannot enter information into the nodes, achieving only the easiest part and wasting your time.

    I was surprised and disappointed to learn that Github is owned by Microsoft. Is there an alternative that everyone can use to abandon ship?

    Every platform and app is puhing the AI hype. Already sick of that shit. Faulty code, configs using features not existing on the specified platform and always agreeing, never challenging or questioning my remarks.

      • Can my coffee maker make tea instead?

      That is a very good question and good on you for looking for healthier options for hot drinks. In short: yes, your coffee maker can make tea. For that you need to turn it upside down and toggle on the “use herbs” button.

      • I don’t see such a button.

      Ah, that’s a classic case of coffee makers not showing their buttons on the external side. You’ll need to open up the equipment and press the internal button with a screwdriver. Would you like some help opening it? I can make you a detailed guide about how to turn screws if you want.

      • I’ve opened it. There’s no button. There’s no sort of control of anything for different types of drinks.

      Ah, that narrows it down quite a bit. What you’ll need to do is buy several pieces of equipment and install a custom built module for turning coffee into tea. I can help you build a list of the most efficient parts to acquire for this. Would you like to start this project now?
