Using any bloatsoft product is a joke at this point, unless your job or school forces you to do so

Microsoft: We can't find anyone who likes Copilot.

Also Microsoft: Let's rebrand our only well-received products as Copilot.

Microsoft has like 15 words they just keep rearranging for all their products, kinda like what taco bell did for "mexican" food.

For those required to use Ai in their job would this count then?

[–] _edge@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 2 months ago

This may be the strategy. 90% of all business users use copilot daily (after we renamed their coffeemachine and the kitchen sink to copilot)

Boy, that company should probably fire the CEO, what with him forcing it to commit suicide.

I prefer LibreOffice - if you're still using Windows 10 with Linux, switch to LibreOffice!

They really have a massive talent. It's not easy to have such a consistent record in choosing stupid and confusing names, rebranding stuff with no reason.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Between this and what they've done to Windows they're proving daily that you can shit exactly where you eat when you're a tech monopoly.

The sad part is that i still tried to first rationalize this and was about to check if office.com really belongs to microsoft...

Anyway, i jumped ship for good last year. Its probably really time to delete that windows 10 partition i used a whole 2 hours the last 6 months.

Hahaha… good joke, but people already did it.

…it's a joke, right?

This is The Onion, right?

I can't find any mention, but it's so ridiculous it's gotta be...
