Some communities have standards. We do not.
Have fun posting!
Welcome to loweffortmemes! This is your space for:
- Posting memes that took you 30 seconds to make
- Sharing weird, niche, or confusing content that doesn't fit elsewhere
- Embracing the beautiful art of minimal effort, maximum vibes
- Whatever random stuff makes you laugh (high effort memes welcome too!)
Community Guidelines:
-
No standards, but we still have rules: Just because we accept low-effort content doesn't mean anything goes. Normal instance rules still apply- don't spread hate, be civil to others, etc.
-
All memes are good memes: That meme you made in MS Paint? That oddly specific joke about your niche hobby? That high-effort masterpiece? That thing other communities thought was "too low quality"? All perfect!
-
Don't kill the vibe: We're here to laugh at dumb stuff together, so keep things chill and fun.
Let's celebrate the fine art of doing the bare minimum and somehow making it work (but also the maximum if that's your thing)!
TLDR: meme gud

When other CEOs see how much code is written by AI at MS, they should remember that MS are looking to sell AI code writing tools and need as much training data as possible.
If your core business is software rather than AI swill for other CEOs, I'd avoid forcing it on anyone. Devs are lazy. If we find a job it's good at, we'll use it.
The last vestiges of the software company Microsoft died when they killed Windows Phone. What’s left is just Microsoft the IP holding company and hedge firm.
The Xbox lost money for its entire life, but the point was to make enough of a splash to guarantee the next consoles were a success. When the red ring debacle happened Microsoft spent billions to make it right in order to save the brand and the company’s reputation. Now they are content to kill Xbox in favor of licensed branding and a subscription.
Windows Phone represented an investment that went all the way back to Windows CE and Windows Mobile and devices like the Dreamcast and later the Zune with partnerships including Palm, Samsung, Motorola, Toshiba, and Sega as well as a merging of the Windows code base that allowed universal Windows/Xbox/Surface apps to be built. Then, literally weeks after HP announced a new Windows Phone device catalog with capabilities like docking stations and a desktop interface, they killed it off for that quarter’s profits.
It was clear to me then that the last bits of the culture that saved the Xbox and cared about software and longevity was gone.
More effort in the meme than the entirety of windows 11
That's not true, they put a lot of effort in the enshittification process 😐
If you don't use Windows, I'll be out of a job and on the street! Please, bro! Just switch to Windows 11. It's worth it (so they don't beat me, again)!
