Blogspam that links to a ‘news’ website that just regurgitates this reddit thread. Somebody explain to me why is this upvoted so heavily.
Coz noone reads that stuff besides the title.
The vibe is right tho lol
This is the high quality journalism we want
powered with state-of-the-art AI
I mean the minute you see “Copilot bad, from windowscopilot[dot]news” should surely raise some flags
Windows bad, ai bad. Upvote. Thought isn’t a big consideration here.
Windows bad, updoots to the left
Lemmy sucks at sourcing but rocks at being opinionated.
Hey, wake up! The new Clippy skin just dropped!
I see you’re trying to embarrass yourself with a reply to a really important email. Want help with that?
Wake up, developer. We have an OS to burn.
You are breathtaking!
I’d probably use it if it had a clippy skin tbh.
No it didn’t… but that IS the plan.
I have to say I’m not particularly against it either… AS LONG AS they let me pick alternative AI backbends, like they have been forced to do with web browsers (antitrust attorneys, get ready).
I’m surprised Windows users even want windows 🤷
I swear Microsoft has had this weird obsession with digital assistants for decades now and users just don’t want it every time.
Their obsession is they see how much people use and like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa, and they have employees who have worked at Apple, Google, and Amazon, so they know exactly how much data collection those services do. Their obsession is that They’re behind in the market and would like that sweet sweet money
Actually I quite like it…
Its not the worst, and If I’m honest its not as annoying as the desktop view button, I hated that thing since day 1
Yeah let me just go to the super informative and trust worthy windows copilot .news website
Definitely a good source for my news consumption lmao
The post is just quoting a “report”, which in turn is just a blog post quoting Reddit comments
I actually thought Microsoft was doing pretty well 2015-2020, then these past few years some of their decisions have felt really anti user
Microsoft, forever and always, will keep trying to pivot Windows to whatever they think the Next Big Thing is going to be, and then fuck it up every time. They tried to pivot to Mobile (Windows Mobile), then Tablets (8, 8.1), then digital assistants (Win 10 Cortana), then 3D (Win 10 Paint3D, 3D Objects folder) and AR (why a bunch of Win10 got the semitransparent glass aesthetic), now AI. Maybe they got ahead of the curve enough to be the “leader” in “AI” this time, but that doesn’t make it a Good Operating System.
They were doing ok. But the github thing and the 11 thing and the edging and now this - I can’t wait to buy a machine that can run windows virtualised. I need it for my work apps, but this virt thing has been a dream of mine for a long time. Compartmentalization
How do YOU edge?
Microsoft edges me.
github thing?
Yeah, what happened with GitHub?
Bought github, doing shitty ai crap with it etc, forcing logins
It’s perfect timing too. Right as Linux becomes an extremely strong competitor (feature wise, not market share yet) they decide to enshitify more than they already were and decide to fuck the user. It made me leave about a year ago, and it’s been amazing since.
This is why they are doing it. They fear that Linux/MacOS/ChromeOS is eating their lunch. The problem is that their approach to preventing anyone else from eating their lunch is to make Shit Sandwiches.
Year of the Linux desktop!
I don’t hate copilot but I seldom use it enough to justify having a taskbar button for it
O&O shutup 10.
oo software
The fact that owner of the device has to do tbis and it resets after major updates is clown world.
People let this bullshit get way too far.
My problem with it is it’s an advertisement for a SASS service.
Also known as a SASSS
Software to serve Software as a Service as a Service.
Software as ASSSS
I want the calendar agenda flyout back on my taskbar
Windows power users? My ass. Any Windows power user knows you can just turn this shit off with group policy. I think what you mean is ‘we need something polarizing to write about hurrr’. That website is a joke.
Take your shitty garbage journalism back to buzzfeed you fucking hacks.
I mean, it still doesn’t change the fact that no one actually wants this shit.
Sure. Let’s not rub each other off too hard over it though.
I’m having a bad day.
Can someone reassure me that idiots using copilot aren’t suddenly going to become more effective and productive than me?
Maybe, but you’ll get the last laugh when they rely on it for everything and it is eventually whisked away behind an enormous monthly fee.
Maybe I am just out of touch with the what the majority thinks, but this is honestly surprising. I am very glad to hear it, but yeah, I didn’t expect this reaction. Maybe from us Linux folks who just like reiterate the FOSS sentiments in protest, but not this. It’s refreshing.
They pulled all their info from a reddit thread, though. Even though it was a Windows 11 sub, reddit tends to have more polarized opinions than most.
A blog of another website’s report on what reddit users wrote.
Nice.
