  • A Chrome extension called “Microsoft to Microslop” that renames Microsoft references in browsers as a protest against the company’s aggressive AI integration.
  • The extension reflects widespread user frustration with Microsoft’s Copilot AI, which faces extremely low adoption rates and growing privacy concerns among Windows users.
  • Many users actively seek ways to remove AI features from Windows, highlighting significant backlash against Microsoft’s AI strategy despite CEO dismissals of complaints.

If you install Ubuntu already your fine.

Personally I don't want to spend time working on my computer (that's work me), so I use mint. Just about any flavor of Linux can have a basic development env configuration done.

Cool thanks, I'll stick with it! At least until I'm familiar and want to try something new
