Microslop
Summary
An opinionated critique of Microsoft's AI push in 2026, branding the company Microslop, and arguing that AI-enabled products threaten user autonomy and privacy. The piece traces Windows evolution (Win 98 through Windows 12), highlights memory bloat and forced updates, and contrasts proprietary ecosystems with Linux and FOSS alternatives. It advocates embracing open-source workflows, questions AI's societal impact, and calls for maintaining ownership of tech while avoiding vendor lock-in.
