What does this even mean? It's like throwing around the word 'bloat'.

We can explain it to you, but we can't understand it for you.

Explanation: Microslop is a power hungry, greedy and frankly evil corporation whose only goal is complete financial domination of the government, business, and personal tech industries. They actively promote making regressive software, increasing complexity, and hiding straightforward processes behind an information veil.

Example: Go to learn.microsoft.com and try to actually learn HOW to do anything. You'll read 35 pages of text talking about the concept of working with a specific microslop product but not 1 single explicit example of HOW to accomplish a specific task.

Example: Windows 11

Example: Copilot

The whole company is run by backassward tech hicks and digital yokels who can't think past a dime on the floor for a dollar in customer satisfaction, and somehow they run the majority of non-server space or personal device tech on the planet.

Funny enough, I do read the Copilot Studio and Dynamics Customer Service and Power Platform documentation and understand it. But reading documentation from any vendor is a skill. Don’t throw me in front of Google or Oracle documentation and expect me to understand it off the bat.

And of course companies in the US are wanting to make money/capture markets. They’re not a charity. None of that has any relation to holding back the industry. Unless you wish to explain how they hold back all FOSS projects.

You don’t need to be rude in your replies. This is HN, not reddit.
