Microsoft trying to ban the word Microslop being used by customers is sending me 🤣 https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/02/microsoft-gets-tired-of-microslop-bans-the-word-on-its-discord-then-locks-the-server-after-backlash/

@GossiTheDog this reminds me of the old jokes about how the company name referred to the founders' genitals

@GossiTheDog I first thought the post meant they were trying to fight the actual thing we call Microslop.

Yay!

Then I realized they are only trying to censor the word "Microslop".

Boo!

[lando@infosec.town]

@GossiTheDog how many people have asked you specifically to unban the word?

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@GossiTheDog the reemergence of leet-speak. we have 30 years of experience with that

Speaking of Microsoft banned words, I have a Samsung "Note9 Pen 15" laptop (real product that exists https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/windows-laptops/notebook-series-9/notebook-9-pen-15--np950sbe-k01us/ ) onedrive refused to sync my "pen15.desktop" file because of the filename. Like, it's not my fault the Korean marketing guys never went to US middle schools ‍️
