I also couldn't find sources to care to respond to him but I remember about some little terminal app which FOSS code was basically stolen by MS from the indie dev and then he was gaslighted about it. I can't find the source in reddit thanks to the going dark thing now lmao. Can't find it now, so maybe I hallucinated it better than some fine LLM's
If anyone else remembers this incident and can link to a source that'd be great for my sanity.
Maybe similar to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17214257 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17214257
I do have a love-hate relationship with MS, but I don't love the fact that they own 80% of my stack (Yes, I know, my choice) between TypeScript, VSCode, NPM, Github, etc..
Also on VSCodium, it only fixes the telemetry bullshit, the custom LSP Plugins that microsoft keeps for themselves or whatever are not available there. so If you want to use for example copilot or other -microsoft official- plugins you can't do so on VSCodium
Also let's add the whole Github Copilot WhiteWashing non-FOSS proprietary code into anyone to steal. Basically breaking the current status quo in favour of the megacorps that can steal it all and respect no licenses

- tough 3y agoYes thank you also had seen this one but didn't remember the specifics, there's so many cases it's wild.

- tough 3y agoYes thank you this is what I meant, I also actually remembered about AppGet pointed by a sibling comment. I wouldn't trust MS with my business as an indie dev, that's all And I wouldn't trust their -true- intentions on FOSS beyond how their incentives align currently with the space
