Copilot is a whole other beast. I don't think there's any simple answers there.
- happymellon 4y agoProbably presenting a code editor with IDE like extensions that are all Open Source, and then gradually killing the Open Source extensions and switching them out for proprietary ones.
- MonkeyClub 4y agoWhich is exactly the EEE technique, “patented” by Microsoft: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extingu... If GitHub, VS code, an MS Linux, and perhaps somehow LinkedIn, prove to be a joint front to EEE the F/OSS community, what can I say... Seems somewhat unlikely though, given the number of allowances that must be made for that to hold true.
- happymellon 4y agoWell Github is struggling to not abuse its Free Software users, VS Code has failed to remain Open Source, I'm not sure about LinkedIn because that never pretended to heart Linux so that gets a pass, and MS Linux isn't really a thing. Although if you are to believe the terrible kernel commits they were attempting to make to allow them to do an Nvidia closed source shim then it wouldn't shock me.
