The Office brand is arguably Microsoft's most important - possibly more than Windows itself. To rename it after this slop generator is staggeringly foolish. Honestly, it's pushed me to spending more and more time in Linux and MacOS lately to escape this Copilot push.
Microsoft is so fucking stupid.
Microsoft renamed Microsoft Office to Microsoft 365 Copilot App

Sorry for the political post, but If you're in the US, I encourage you to call your senators and demand they push for articles of impeachment against RFK Jr as secretary of HHS. I know there are a lot of issues to worry about currently, but this one is very important to me.

If Europe is at least pretending to have a serious conversation about life without a US security guarantee, then the same conversation has to be had about tech dependence on the US.

It is very hard to accept, but it is no longer safe to move EU governments & societies to US clouds. Not only is it dangerous to do so, it is also likely flat out illegal in the near feature. We're trading convenience for utter dependence on a mad king. It should stop.
