- 4gotunameagain 7mo agoIt would be mean if they weren't actually vibecoding copilot & md into notepad, introducing an RCE vulnerability. In notepad.
- TOMDM 7mo agoWhy get yourself twisted like this? They can do a bad thing, and then you can make fun of it with an insult. Own it, the insult is warranted, why hide and pretend it's not an insult. If Microsoft is consistently shipping slop, then they deserve insults over it; not every "bad" thing is always unwarranted. Locking someone in a box is "bad", prison is a necessary thing that benefits society. Insults are "bad" and sometimes warranted.
- FpUser 7mo agoThey did not rewrite Notepad in Rust? Seems to be an easy target
- seanclayton 7mo agoIt's as insulting as M$ is
- cinntaile 7mo agoHow is M$ insulting? It just looks like a leetspeak version of MS.
- matsemann 7mo agoAnd other insults are just words as well. It's the intention, history, connotation etc. behind words that give them meaning. M$ is meant as an insult, hence it's insulting. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/M$ https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/M$
- cinntaile 7mo agoAs I said, I was not aware of the insult.

- riffraff 7mo agoIt is supposed to indicate Microsoft cares only about money, which to me too, seems in the same league as microslop, i.e. mildly insulting but really not rude enough to be worth censoring.
- JasonADrury 7mo agoHas there ever been a single good piece of writing that uses "M$" or the likes? "M$" may not be insulting in itself, but it's certainly typically associated with insultingly poor writing.
- BigTTYGothGF 7mo ago> Has there ever been a single good piece of writing that uses "M$" or the likes? There has not.
- fireflash38 7mo agoMaybe they should stop insulting their users with the slop they put out and charge for then.
