Microsoft's new "context preservation" keeps you from losing the thread of your conversation and keeps you inside Microsoft's browser engine, whether you want to be there or not.

      We call it “Microslop” 'round these parts.

        @IratePirate

        I was going to do the same, but decided against it, I plan to call it Microcrap, but microslop sounds good too. I feel sometimes it is useful to refer to things properly in the interest of clarity.

          You do it to state things clearly. I do it because Microslop evidently hates being called “Microslop”. Apparently they’ve never heard about the Streisand effect. Let’s assist their learning.

      Why DID is the correct phrasing? And there were reasons then. More bad than good, but that’s the advantage of being first, then biggest.

      Why trust them now? It’s not trust when it’s what’s embedded everywhere, required by most large companies. The licensing that was Microsoft’s key into everything became dependency. And dependencies can be broken, but that takes time and effort. There’s been movement…

      If they keep doing this Co-pilot shit, they’ll be helping the cause.
