I work in a small IT business, where I regularly setup notebooks or pc for the customer and install the software they need for work.
I always remove copilot from the Taskbar and the startmenu. Also usually install firefox with ublock origin, in the hope that they will try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.
I just right-click on copilot on the taskbar and remove, same with the startmenu. Im not uninstalling it in case someone suddenly "needs" it to save me some trouble plus its just a few clicks this way.
try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.
Why not just give FF the chrome theme, change the icon to chrome and strip out Edge? (If you can still strip edge out, it was a PITA on 10, I can't imagine it's gotten any better on 11l
Co-pilot slowed down my work machine to near unusable, and they make it pretty hard to get rid of. I'm not anti-AI at all and I hate co-pilot because of how it was deployed. Windows in general got in the habit of hiding options from users and installing things like security that bogs down the computer more than helps but can't be easily turned off.
It's exactly where my control key used to be, so I often hit that button and nothing happens, unless Im using a Windows via AWS and suddenly I keep getting copilot springing up.
It's a really user hostile move knowing that people will accidentally hit that button
Internally the copilot key is hard coded to be meta + shift + f23.
If you don't recognise what the f23 key is, that's because it was last featured over four decades ago on the IBM model M.
The fact that Microsoft has decreed that the Copilot key must send this exact shortcut of three different keys makes it very difficult to remap consistently.
Most keyboard remapping software (SharpKeys) work best at remapping single keys, not shortcuts.
Windows users can use PowerToys to remap this three key shortcut, if you try to use it normally as a right ctrl, e.g. rctrl lshift p it doesn't work consistently.
I suspect it might be because you're essentially trying to send a whopping five keycodes for a shortcut, when most programs already struggle to handle 4.
Linux users were similarly out of luck until early last year, when most desktop environments fixed up the key codes.
And that's why the internet is addicted to old Thinkpads. I actively avoid these "Copilot+ PCs" with the Copilot key when I shop for laptops, and you should too.

Didn't have the heart to tell the manager requesting my assistance that I'm also one of the non-adopters and no amount of promotion or schooling offer is likely to change that. They're lower management anyway, can't change the decisions made higher up, and I'm not gonna pick fights and sour working relations where there's nothing to win.
My company forces me to use it. It’s shit. I asked for Claude. And this is what they give me. It can’t even parse the file I send it. It forgets I uploaded the file after about 16 seconds and asks for me to upload it again. It’s amazing how bad it is.
My company pushes it too. It's useful for some things, but you really have to be aware of its limitations. The same is true of Claude of course, but I have less problems letting Claude touch my code. The free GPT models work better as an interactive rubber duck or an interactive encyclopedia.
My work pushes it on us heavily. I TRY to use it. It’s just so terrible. Any other AI is way more functional and provides better responses. I do IT work. Maybe other fields have a better response to copilot?
my colleague uses chat gpt to run statistical reports. i don't verify if the data outputted is correct, but i'm going to assume that everything he produces from now on is factually incorrect.
Get the original picture instead of an AI manipulated one.
Cheers!
Thank you. Fuck whatever AI slop OP posted.
I wouldn’t fuck it tbh.
This is one of my favourites, thanks for posting the original!
ironic
Like rain on your wedding day
Like a free ride when you've already paid
Don't you think?
Like a no smoking sign on your suitcase.
I like you, weirdo.
This deserves every upvote the top-level post got.
but that's literally me
Refusing AI by using an AI generated meme?
But why?
Even AI thinks copilot is shit
AI "thinks" whatever you tell it to think...
You sure? this would be quite simple to whip up in photoshop
The face is wrong
the face is switched yeah, that's what I am referring to
I wouldn't say it is quite simple to do such a quality replacement in Photoshop. I'd argue that people with necessary skill level are rather rare.
On your phone while being on the go in 5 minutes?
Fake Ryan Gosling sez "HET!" to machine-generated memes.
yeah but "sir meemsalot" put his watermark on it so it must be good
it is considered rude to show ai slop to other humans
Why is Ryan Gosling in this meme?
It was generated using copilot, for the added irony.
it’s kinda like rain, on your wedding day
Isn't it iconic
I didn't realize for way too long that the song "Ironic" had no actual examples of irony in it, and that in itself is ironic. Blew my mind.
Because he is a synth!

I agree with Ryan Gosling on this.

Its not much, but it honest work.
how do you remove it?

What’s the point of such deception? As long as they’re able to recognise it as a web browser, no need for it.
Is Microsoft just another name for Microslop?
I think that's what they were called before they rebranded.
Ah that makes sense.

First thing I had opening my work laptop yesterday, notification pop-up titled "Open and pin Copilot!"
Fuck...OFF!
OK, but I still wanna fuck Ryan Gosling
Everyone does but that is an infiltration unit wearing his corpse as a skinsuit
So... If you don't want it... Does that mean the infiltration unit is available? Will it take me horseback riding on a beach? Wearing the skinsuit?
I’m with this person
You get your own infiltration unit, I got here first. And leave me and RyRy alone.
We can share? The more the merrier…
;)
RyRy loves only me and I love only him. This is a conservative household. o(一︿一+)o
Now excuse me, I need to lubricate his joints. And his everything else.
I also choose this guy's skin suit
Excuse me that's meme version KD6-3.7
OK, so I wanna fuck this skin suit.
How many units are available, can we get some unit on unit action
Nyet
Da, darling
So.. uh.. laptops have a copilot key on the keyboard now..
It's exactly where my control key used to be, so I often hit that button and nothing happens, unless Im using a Windows via AWS and suddenly I keep getting copilot springing up.
It's a really user hostile move knowing that people will accidentally hit that button
Can you rebind it?
It's janky AF mess.

So now I have to turn off the freaking Windows key and a copilot key.
Perfectly reasonable

The "internet" is programming centric special interest forums and the ever more radicalized left. Normies don't really care.
They'll sneak it into your editor when you're not looking.

Wait is vim really getting vibe code contributions now?

You cant use that word literally.
They literally can and did tho

i think a rubber duck might be a better rubber duck.
Rubber duck can be used in the tub, so it's the clear winner!
you can use the underlying model, you just have to rotate the key every 30 mins, but that's scriptable.

Sadly companies, even government orgs are still looking to use it/deploy it in more scenarios.
