    Woof.

    As a web developer. I can’t wait to get bug reports caused by this monstrosity.

    That’s not even touching the maliciousness of this entire exercise.

    This could be a real pain if anyone used copilot.

      I’m pretty sure this will happen to anyone that has a copilot “compatible” pc and install the patch Tuesday updates… If they use copilot or not.

      Tbh I’m surprised they found this bug.

      Microsoft apparently doesn’t do QA testing anymore and* the average Copilot user is a tech illiterate troglodyte who never changed the WiFi password on their modem and doesn’t know what a bug report is.

      *Oh shit. That is a feature? Intented use??

      Why DID is the correct phrasing? And there were reasons then. More bad than good, but that’s the advantage of being first, then biggest.

      Why trust them now? It’s not trust when it’s what’s embedded everywhere, required by most large companies. The licensing that was Microsoft’s key into everything became dependency. And dependencies can be broken, but that takes time and effort. There’s been movement…

      If they keep doing this Co-pilot shit, they’ll be helping the cause.

    They did this with outlook before so it not a new trend. Though the question is if they have added an option to open externally like in other apps. (I’m not going to install the pos to check the settings.)
