    Installed Dolphin on my work desktop which runs Win11, definitely not meant for Windows as certain functions like searching or dragging and dropping don’t work, at least it’s 1 step close to making windows slightly more bearable.

      Ha, I did the same thing on my work computer. It’s a little broken in some aspects, but a 1000x better the using that dumpster fire know as File Explorer (oh sorry MS let me get it right… Microsoft File Explorer Copilot App)

        I have a new naming strategy for Microsoft.

        They renamed Office 365 to Copilot 365, right?

        But there are so many other cool businessy numbers! I propose this:

        Explorer becomes Copilot 360

        Edge becomes Copilot24 (24 suffix is/was very common for websites in the 00s here in Estonia, auto24 is our biggest used car marketplace to this day for an example)

        Calculator becomes Copilot Pi

        Xbox app becomes Copilot Series X

        And the Microsoft Store becomes Copilot One X

    I can already see them brainstorming how to put that stuff in the calculator app.

    At least, they don’t put it into the event viewer, because its source code has never seen a change. Looks like 10 years ago and the performance is as bad as then.

    Stopped using Explorer long time ago. They were unable to implement tabs and color coding of files for the last 30 years. Just use Directory Opus.

    Why even have Windows at this point? Just have Copilot as the OS and be done with it.

      That’s the goal.

      No more personal computer. Only dumb terminal and cloud. You will rent your needs from the rich. You will own nothing and like it. Your income is their revenue stream, or you shall cease to function in society.

      This is robbery.

    No regrets on switching to Linux here. Almost all of the time I just use the GUI to launch steam or Firefox. No AI nagging me (aside from whatever nonsense Firefox is up to)

      check out librewolf or waterfox for firefox without the corporate garbage and with more secure and private defaults.

        I’ve thought about switching. I do like the password saving and syncing between Android and desktop that Firefox does, and I’m not sure if the forks do that.

          Firefox Sync is built into LibreWolf, it’s just disabled by default. IronFox on Android also supports sync.

      … which, in firefox, is either off by default or can be switched off.

    It is a cold dark night at Microsoft Headquarters. The moon is blacked out by the clouds and rain and thunder beat relentlessly against the office windows.

    The head UX engineer stares at the prompt nervously. He hesitates, his whole life has been building up to this point. He is going to control where windows is going and shape the lives of billions of people.

    “You got this,” He mumbles to himself, “you know what to do.”

    He grabs a screenshot of his desktop and types the fateful words. Make this desktop make more money

    The AI says processing…

    You can do that Microslop. It’s not exactly possible for me to not use your software even harder at this point.

      They’re already changing the name of MS Office to “Microsoft Copilot App”. So when you use Copilot inside Microsoft Office on Windows, you’ll be running Copilot in the Copilot App on Copilot OS.

        “Microsoft Windows App” confused the shit out of me earlier. I only realised it was Remote Desktop when I read the description, and I only did that because I was wondering what the fuck Microsoft Windows App is.

      “I know we said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows you’d need, but we really mean it this time with Windows 11. Introducing… Compost, I mean, Copilot!”

    All they had to do is built an actually good search into explorer, they didn’t do that for 20 years and now they force this trash on us… Good thing I ditched Windows last year and soon will sell all my Microsoft shares, that company has no future or vision it’s disgusting

      MS is likely spent all thier R&D on AI, and building datacenters, they want to somehow justfiy recoup the losses from the “profitless LLM”
