Microsoft starts removing Copilot buttons from Windows 11 apps (theverge.com)

In the article's example, Notepad, there's still a button that does the same thing in the exact same spot. All they did was change the icon.


That actually looks true. If so, my God, what a broken organization.


Yeah, "we're going to remove copilot" only to remove the literally word copilot


Eventually maybe they can stop asking me to start using their cloud for backups, too. The prompt only gives you a choice about how long to wait before bugging you again. I'm never going to use it. So apparently they plan to bug me forever. (I do mostly use Linux. My Windows laptop is for my DAW, and general online doom scrolling in the livingroom)


they should also stop reinstalling it when I uninstall it. kkthx


Now from the keyboards...


The slow wait for this bubble's collapse is insanity.
