I hate Microsoft for that. They created a truly great date and time formatting thing in Windows where I can set a system encoding, a system language, a user language, a date/time "language" and configure individual things like the thousands-separator (. or ,)

Only to have obvious junior devs throw all of that out the Windows and now most things are dictated by the users region. Yes, I live in Germany and the region is important for region-locked shit on the app store. That does not fucking mean I want my OS talk to me in German.

And on M365, I want German date formatting (DD.MM.YYYY), but when M365 is in English, you cannot select that date formatting, because someone thought that Americans would never need that.

Fuck all of these ignorant bastards!
