Websites like this are the reason I'm forced to use noscript on mobile

2 pages of this:

scripts loading ads

Wow thats actually more crazy than i though even Microslop would accomplish.

Their stock price is being hammered and for good reason...

Chat gpt will probably also add ads though. They were even open to sex bot chats as I understand it.

The Enshittify will not stop.

I really can't believe this got the green light. GitHub has, or perhaps had, the trust of most of the open source world. It was used by everybody. This is so fucking short-sighted, it's signing away your stock portfolio for a popsicle. Whatever couple bucks they get from this ad is worth absolutely nothing compared to the trust and good will they have flushed.

Kinda hard to explain this concept to executives who have made their entire careers based off of dumb decisions like this. Problem is these execs never get fired or laid off, and instead get promoted upwards until all of Microsoft is doing the dumbest thing imaginable to their name. These people have never had consequence before, so are now destined to place those consequences on the company that's kept them woefully employed.

[-] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 2 points 18 hours ago

I think this is true with a lot of companies. Microsoft is a good example. Whoever is responsible for the current state of Windows 11 should be turfed as rapidly and efficiently as possible both for the good of Microsoft and to send a message that this sort of thing is not wanted anymore.

[-] motruck@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

They believe they are irreplacesble and as a single central point for development they are. They'll ride this until users move to other options effectively decentralizing source hosting again. Good. Burn it down MS. Burn it down as fast as you can.

Like everything a techbro behemoth acquires?

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Well yes, but have you also considered that line must go up?

[-] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I think once you turn your product into "Enterprise" or whatever that means, then you can do whatever you want with the company. it doesn't matter you're going to make like 3 trillion dollars

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Come to Codeberg! We don't have AI slop built into the platform!

Jesus fuck that is bad. That PR should/would get rejected regardless of the code content. Would also consider further action against the contributor for spamming my repo.

I'm actually amazed at Microsoft's audacity on this one. And that bar is already hard to clear for a company I have such a low opinion on.

[-] northendtrooper@lemmy.ca 168 points 1 day ago

We're in that stage where Microsoft knows that we're about to break up and instead of fixing itself it is leaning into that abusive boyfriend injecting themselves everywhere they can.

[-] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 93 points 1 day ago

Soon Microsoft will threaten to kill itself if we leave.

[-] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 1 day ago
[-] Tim_Bisley@piefed.social 16 points 1 day ago

I think we have to go through a long drawn out stage of Microslop pretending they can change before we get to that part.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 6 points 1 day ago

No, they're more like the "If I can't have you, no one can," vibecode.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Please threaten me with a good time

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

"Do a backflip!"

[-] krispyavuz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

My switch to codeberg pays off! GitHub has turned into junk real quick since the last months.

[-] tirateimas@lemmy.pt 31 points 1 day ago

GitHub has been in a downward spiral lately. Codeberg seems to be a better home for “small” open source. Large open-source organizations already use their forge.

[-] vane@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

I hoped for Refactor your body with ozempic style ads.

Yeah, or dick pills.

[-] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 64 points 1 day ago

watch they will put adds directly your project/code if you don't pay..

[-] john_t@piefed.ee 49 points 1 day ago

People using GitHub when Codeberg exists deserve nothing less.

[-] MrLLM@ani.social 17 points 1 day ago

You use GitHub because you don’t know better

I use GitHub because I wanna poison AI with shitty code

We are not the same

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Recruiters care too much about green boxes sadly.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 1 day ago

Investors care too much about greenbacks, so there.

They’ll start making you censor READMEs to make advertisers happy.

[-] HexaBack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

every Linux distribution build script will now add alias unaliveall="killall" to the /etc/profile

[-] ZombieChicken@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

Should lean into things and just add "--and-children" to "killall" instead.

[-] blindpuskas@piefed.world 43 points 1 day ago

Microsoft microsofting things...

[-] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 53 points 1 day ago

Microslop microslopping things...

ftfy

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

Nah this problem goes way farther back than 2022.

[-] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago

So what you are saying is microsoft has been microslop for longer than a few years? I'd agree with that

[-] Teppa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The Windows 8 start menu was candy crush and a ton of ads, and that was over a decade ago.

It reminded me back then of a 50$ chinese phone I got off Alibaba.

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

One more reason not to use Raycast

[-] silverneedle@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

atp they should just have their LLMs put in code that relies on proprietary services and apps. Go the extra mile man

[-] Flying_Lynx@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago

Still in the process of defenestrating myself.

[-] night_petal@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

The word for that is "autodefenestration."

Copilot helps me flyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

This sentence can mean switching to linux or suicide. Context leans into one but doesn't exactly shut down the other option either.

I'm not going to defend this garbage but is this really slop? Just seems like your average ad injection.

[-] FreddyNO@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

So glad I never started using github

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I don’t think it’d be hard to leave if you had. You can export your issues to CSV. Everything else is just git.

[-] traxex@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

That’s really incredible as it was the defacto spot for git version controlled software since what feels like forever.

[-] HuePony@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

We need local AI adblocker for those AI adverts
