Because it's a huge pain in the ass to get set up (and requires paying Microsoft and providing them with all sorts of personal information). After initial setup it's not too bad, we have a few signed apps at my current employer.
The Steam userbase would appear to disagree, with the recent reviews being mostly negative reviews (and the user reviews for Overwatch have hovered between mixed and negative for years now). And this doesn't appear to be from review bombing by some specific subset of players, the language breakdown shows reviews ranging from mixed to negative in all major language groups (English, Russian, Chinese, etc.).
>What's a bigger joke is Microsoft has Azure DevOps which looks like it might be abandoned?
My favorite was trying to figure out how to publish debug symbols with NuGet packages to Azure DevOps artifact feeds. Horrible documentation and I was never able to get it figured out.
>And "leared" -- the (unintentional?) pun made me click.
I assume it's a reference to the "Quality Learing Center" in Minnesota, one of the questionable daycares at the center of the alleged Somali daycare fraud scandal. Ever since some of the expose videos about it came out it's become a meme to say "lear" instead of "learn".
And it's taxpayer funded, to boot. I definitely wouldn't be happy as an Austrian if I knew my taxes were going to something like this (meanwhile hobbyists elsewhere do projects like this on their own dime).
Governments have long funded artistic projects. I'm sure some people oppose government funding for the arts, but there's nothing unusual about it. Obviously, not all artists get government funding, but such funding is an established process.
However in a brief visit to Vienna I was blown away by the city. It’s amazing, and wish my city had a fraction the arts, sites and budget that Vienna seems to have had for a huge period of time.
Why? This is a creative endeavour, which is exactly how tech progresses. The fact that you're not able to understand the links between "tech stuff" and "societal stuff" should ring alarm bells in your head...
A year or two ago I had a cashier ring up my zucchini as cucumbers because he apparently couldn't tell the difference. Young guy, looked barely 18. I have no idea if he overcharged or undercharged me as a result, but I didn't care enough to point it out because he seemed like the type who would have needed 20 minutes to figure out how to change it (or would have needed to call down a manager for help) and I didn't want to waste any more of my time (or his).
Who has the right to keep and use toasters? The people, or the well-balanced breakfast?
