I personally thought the part about Bing with Copilot was a subtle joke, because giving people the benefit of doubt is just a polite thing to do and even the Microsoft employees deserve it. Otherwise the sentiment contained in that sentence is indeed quite outrageous.
Anyhow, even when searching for "iPerf3 on Windows" in both Google and DuckDuckGo, the first result is still iperf.fr.
- 38 3y agoEven with the most charitable Interpretation, it's a tasteless joke. Bing has a history of shoving Copilot down people's throats, and Microsoft has a LONG history of shoving Bing down people's throats. They built it into the God damn start menu, and have repeatedly changed the method to disable it. So even people who have explicitly disabled it will see it pop back up from time to time. Fuck Microsoft.
- iforgotpassword 3y agoWhat else do you expect a Microsoft employee to say? Google it? I think that would be awkward, but the author is fully aware nobody is using Bing, so they made a joke. It seemed somewhat sarcastic to me so I had to chuckle.
- nikanj 3y agoNobody? Tons of people are using Bing, because their IT-skilled family members only reset it to Google on Christmas and Thanksgiving, but Microsoft resets it to Bing every other Edge update
- mrguyorama 3y ago>because giving people the benefit of doubt is just a polite thing to do and even the Microsoft employees deserve it This is just woefully naive when we have court documents from Microsoft's history of open source attacks. Microsoft lost the benefit of the doubt ages ago, nevermind that you should not be giving a legal entity who's only incentive is to extract more wealth from the world "the benefit of the doubt".
