    Why are the suggestions all things that should just be links to other pages on the site?

    What value is copilot offering here? It’s just a nondeterministic wiki that you can’t bookmark or cite.

    I use copilot every day btw. This just doesn’t add value to the interface in any way.

    Every platform and app is puhing the AI hype. Already sick of that shit. Faulty code, configs using features not existing on the specified platform and always agreeing, never challenging or questioning my remarks.

      • Can my coffee maker make tea instead?

      That is a very good question and good on you for looking for healthier options for hot drinks. In short: yes, your coffee maker can make tea. For that you need to turn it upside down and toggle on the “use herbs” button.

      • I don’t see such a button.

      Ah, that’s a classic case of coffee makers not showing their buttons on the external side. You’ll need to open up the equipment and press the internal button with a screwdriver. Would you like some help opening it? I can make you a detailed guide about how to turn screws if you want.

      • I’ve opened it. There’s no button. There’s no sort of control of anything for different types of drinks.

      Ah, that narrows it down quite a bit. What you’ll need to do is buy several pieces of equipment and install a custom built module for turning coffee into tea. I can help you build a list of the most efficient parts to acquire for this. Would you like to start this project now?

        Why was it so hard to tell this is satire?

        It was the “several pieces” part that gave it away. Implies a negative which an LLM wouldn’t do in this context. It would be like “a few pieces” even it really was “several”.

    I was surprised and disappointed to learn that Github is owned by Microsoft. Is there an alternative that everyone can use to abandon ship?

      I really like Codeberg. It is a Non-Profit and based on Forgejo which is FOSS. Sadly there are not many Projects there.

    For shits and giggles I tried using copilot on windows 11 on my brand new x1 carbon laptop.

    Seeing those fucking loading bars they use for Microsoft 365 admin centers pulse for like 10 seconds was enough to make my blood boil.

    It’s bad enough they shove it everywhere, but do they have to make it also so fucking shitty?

    Then I Alt tabbed to Chatgpt and all was well.

      I’m dubious ChatGPT was any better considering it backs Copilot. I’ve found ChatGPT to be pretty much garbage versus Anthropic’s Claude. Curious about your experience though.

        I’m not talking about AI content. I’m talking about the terrible loading and lag of microsoft products.
