A thinly veiled M$ ad, trying to save face after the .NET fiasco of 2021...
Tell me more about the .NET fiasco of 2021?
Microsoft tried to lock a development feature behind a paywall by introducing an artificial dependency on Visual Studio.
This also happened to occur right around the time there were also licensing and hosting issues around open source libraries. The manipulation of the .NET foundation was the really concerning part. Made it clear that MS still doesn't give a damn about the wider community using their language.
the long con, wait three years and nobody will suspect your ads
Everything I don't like is an ad.
Seriously. People. Get off your high horses. It's a fucking greetext of someone liking something.
liking something by regurgitating marketing blurbs.
