To prevent abuse, for example to prevent an old owner of domain to have a valid certificate for the domain indefinitely after transfer.

I had the same experience. It's even more confusing when you want to create an API key because they are separated by product, maybe?

no, the key is actually universal, you can't choose a specific product

It depends. The key for their vibe-cli is actually different. You need to get a separate key if you have a subscription and don't want to pay API usage prices.

That's the same everywhere. At least with the Chinese coding plans

It would be mean if they weren't actually vibecoding copilot & md into notepad, introducing an RCE vulnerability.

In notepad.

They did not rewrite Notepad in Rust? Seems to be an easy target

Why get yourself twisted like this?

They can do a bad thing, and then you can make fun of it with an insult.

Own it, the insult is warranted, why hide and pretend it's not an insult.

If Microsoft is consistently shipping slop, then they deserve insults over it; not every "bad" thing is always unwarranted. Locking someone in a box is "bad", prison is a necessary thing that benefits society. Insults are "bad" and sometimes warranted.

It's as insulting as M$ is

Has there ever been a single good piece of writing that uses "M$" or the likes?

"M$" may not be insulting in itself, but it's certainly typically associated with insultingly poor writing.

> Has there ever been a single good piece of writing that uses "M$" or the likes?

There has not.

How is M$ insulting? It just looks like a leetspeak version of MS.

It is supposed to indicate Microsoft cares only about money, which to me too, seems in the same league as microslop, i.e. mildly insulting but really not rude enough to be worth censoring.

As I said, I was not aware of the insult.

Maybe they should stop insulting their users with the slop they put out and charge for then.

Maybe publicly invisible, but a personal network and resume have always been important in a career.

Seaweed :)

Even following their own "getting started" tutorials you get stuck at step one trying to find Visual Studio or whatever it's called nowadays.

Oh, you mean Visual Studio 2026 Copilot App 365 & Knuckles?

Fuzzy automated reviews should always run in an interactive loop with a developer on their workstation and contain enough context to quickly assess if they are valid or not.

When developers create a PR, they already feel they are "done", and they have likely already shifted their focus on another task. False positive are horrible at this point, especially when they keep changing with each push of commits.

Especially with small datasets it’s more important to be exact at the expense of a user having to fix a typo.

I have also seen situations where sales opted into Microsoft early on. When they grew in relation to engineering forced the rest of the company to standardize to Microsoft products so they could get better rates and “save money”.

The fight against “left” and “right” is just a narrative to gin up allegiance with certain groups.

The only relevance to the article is that it indicates which parties have sided with the US administration to fight consumer’s digital rights.

Yeah that was my point, it doesn't matter if it's left or right, because the only ideology Meta et-al speak, is USD, so they will kiss the ring of whoever is in power at the present moment in EU, far left or far right. Same how many of them also kissed the ring of the CCP or Saudi Arabia while flying the pride flag in the west.

They don't really care about those ideologies they preach, they just virtue signal however needed in order to appease the mobs and governments in power so they can be allowed to extract wealth.
