        @thomasfuchs first time I committed the feedback form over there. Like really, wtf‽ Hopefully it will be read by an actual person not another stupid micro$lop AI agent.

        @h_offen @thomasfuchs It looks like they replaced that graph at least (with something that has no words at all).

            @thomasfuchs They changed the image on the site, but it’s still available here: https://web.archive.org/web/20260216165612/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/introduction-to-github/3-components-of-github-flow

            I find this absolutely insulting. The fact that Microsoft deems it appropriate to publish this utter slop tells me volumes about what they think of their readers.

            It’s also heartbreaking. I learned so much from learn.microsoft.com way back when.

                  @thomasfuchs you know what this reminds me of? i collect random bootleg items and often times they use flavor text stolen from other things, and then retyped manually by people who don't speak english. so you end up with shit like this:

                                        I think it's a haiku and they wanted to stretch the sillable count so they made up a word. It's a mood thing, a-la jabberwocky.
