Microsoft is reportedly no longer censoring 'Microslop' posts on Discord

Microsoft is reportedly no longer censoring 'Microslop' posts — but if it's hopeful the term will die off now, it can think again.

Microsoft is reportedly no longer censoring 'Microslop' posts on Discord

Microsoft has reportedly ceased blocking the term "Microslop" on its Copilot Discord channel, according to recent reports from Windows Latest. The temporary anti-spam measure, which came about after a comment from Microsoft's CEO relating to "AI slop," has been lifted, and the term is now being openly used in the general chat channel.

Microsoft had initially claimed the ban was a temporary measure, and it seems that is indeed the case. While the term's popularity may have diminished, it still appears with some regularity on platforms such as Reddit, X, and Windows forums. The writer acknowledges that criticism regarding AI in Windows 11 remains, but it has softened since Microsoft addressed the OS issues.

The removal of the temporary censorship, while positive, was long overdue as it only served to highlight grievances and cause further negative chatter.

The Readonly Trap — PHP Value Objects & DDD Aggregates

readonly tells PHP a property can't be reassigned. It says nothing about whether two values are equal, or whether what's inside stays immutable.

  • Readonly keyword prevents property reassignment after construction in PHP
  • Value Objects remain immutable within file scope, not across broader system
  • Additional logic needed for equality and immutability enforcement in collections

Fix CORS before you blame the SDK

TL;DR The bug is usually the preflight ( OPTIONS ), not your fetch call or the client library. Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * and credentials: 'include' never work together.

  • CORS errors occur due to server-side configuration issue.
  • API on https://api.example.com must allow requests from https://app.example.com.
  • Specify correct Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in response.
