Tsoding@tsoding·1hCopilot

"I find your detachment from reality disturbing" - replying to Microsoft Edge's 'you wanted Copilot Mode at work' post. The ratio is brutal.

SuggestedDon't fight the ratio - reply once, self-aware, with the opt-out

No, you heard wrong. Literally no one asked for all this AI. In fact, everyone wants to know how to remove it

Professional writer (MS Q&A)@ms-qa-writer·3hCopilot

I am a professional writer and I find it objectionable and distracting. If it has an impact on my working efficiency, I'll be off to another platform. Please provide information about how it can be disabled permanently.

This CoPilot button is THAT annoying that I want to throw this laptop in the trash

zahlman@zahlman·7hCopilot

Mandatory, on the orders of a senior manager... for all developers... to have a Copilot subscription. I've never used it for anything.

SuggestedSeat-pushing resentment feeds the 'AI tax' narrative - flag to sales org

Please give us a cheaper subscription that locks out the AI functions. I don't want them.

can they shut down Teams instead of tiktok (2.5M views during the TikTok-ban cycle - Microsoft 365's own account replied "No ❤️")

SuggestedThe 'No ❤️' reply won the moment - extend it into a 'top gripes get fixed' play

Teams doesn't have to be good to succeed. It just has to exist. (top comment on the 862-point 'Why is Microsoft Teams still so bad?' thread)

SuggestedThe 'wins on distribution, not quality' frame - counter with shipped fixes, not marketing

Electronic_Spare1821@u/Electronic_Spare1821·4hTeams

Has anyone f*cking tested New Teams before dumping it to us? Why the hell are the Chat and Teams buttons merged and hidden by default behind 'view more apps'? What idiocy was that?

SuggestedSpecific, fixable UI grievance - answer with the un-merge toggle steps

Seems like every 48-72 hours now Microsoft announces yet another extremely compelling reason to abandon their platform for Linux. (top comment on 'Windows 11 enables OneDrive backup without asking')

SuggestedConsent again - same root cause as the Copilot anger. One fix narrative covers both

Gergely Orosz@GergelyOrosz·3hWindows

Why should software developers choose Windows "with this weird direction Microsoft is doubling down on"? Windows 11 "should be an operating system, not an ecosystem." (drew a direct public reply from the Windows president)

AberrantNarwal@u/AberrantNarwal·9hOutlook

New Outlook: I am unable to archive emails - there is no button to do so, no right click menu to do so, I have to manually drag an email into the archive folder, how dumb?
