Yes. In my experience the government is happy with "looks good doesn't work" as long as it truly looks good.

Thank goodness we have startup culture in the US, instead we can have “looks bad, doesn’t work, but Microsoft bought it so…”
and "actively erodes human community and democratic society"
That's the ones that don't get bought.
Unicorns are carnivores that prey on the people.
Microsoft is certainly much better at judging the value of a software than any european administration.
I dunno, every software product I use in the US has been getting worse over time. Even if Europe is doing nothing, at least they aren’t accelerating in the negative direction.
Of all the software companies, Microsoft really makes me feel the ick every time I have to interact with their suite. I started using again teams after months and I didn't remember it was so bad, it's like a reverse course on ux
Lol yeah unlike corporationd who are happy with “makes life intentionally worse but brings in money”.
Jesus the ideology in this place runs so thick with some people.
It’s truly absurd the ways some people here twist logic. “Government did it” means it MUST be bad, of course. It takes a willful ignorance, pretending that all government efforts are bad and all corporate efforts are therefore good.
As if ARPAnet just sprang from a group of MBAs sitting around unemployed.
When I read 1984 in high school, I didn’t really get the scariest bit: a lot of people are PROUD to shout that 2 + 2 = 5 as long as it makes a poor person somewhere else sad.
