- If you're locked in to Amazon with previous media purchases commit to no additional purchases. No more.
- Otherwise, delete your Amazon account. You can get their stuff elsewhere.
- Stop using Google's browser, search, services. Delete your account if possible.
- Stop using Microsoft's services services. Delete your account if possible.

Commit to getting out of these services. Stop using them, stop giving them your money.

The future of translation. This is Microsoft Translator's own page, and they've decided to machine translate it (and a bunch of linked pages) to Finnish. The result is something to behold. Nearly all compound words are separated, it's full of strange idioms, faulty inflections and broken grammar. Some links in the footer: Download center -> "Center of Espoo" (city in FI); Manage cookies -> "Uber-cookies"; ??? -> "Isn't".

#Microsoft partout dans les collèges et les lycées ? Ou #Linux et l'opensource ?

Dans les 100 Millions d'Euros de budget nécessaires pour passer de Windows 10 à WIndows 11... Pour une "rénovation" du parc informatique... vraiment nécessaire ? Bien sûr que non !

C'est le principe de la "vente liée" : on achète un ordi, l'OS est inclus, sans proposer de choix ni informer sur les alternatives.

Microslop's CEO is on a roll!

Few weeks ago he begged us to stop using "slop" because it makes AIs sad. Days ago he complained "AI boom might falter" if we don't start using more spicy autocomplete.

Now he's begging developers to "do something useful" with lying machines, or they might lose the "social permission" to boil the planet.

What, is Microslop's Slopilot services not useful enough on their own?

Oh dear me are people not "adopting" lying autocomplete widely enough to keep the line going up? Oh noes. Nobody could have foreseen this! 🤯

I cannot wait for the official announcement of a new #Microslop programme, Adopt-an-AI. 🤣

What an absolute tool. "The bubble might burst if you all don't help pump it!" 🤡

"Microsoft promotes Windows 11 as its fastest operating system ever, but real-world tests tell a different story. In a detailed comparison, TrigzZolt benchmarked several Windows versions: XP, Vista, 7, 8.1, 10, and 11. The results showed that the newest version, Windows 11, performed the worst overall."
