And vscode core isn't without its issues, it's not straightforward to fork and build without running into userspace issues: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues

I have a few extensions, notably an update to subtle-brackets, which I cross-published. It's relatively painless - Eclipse running Open VSX is clunky, but no more clunky and UX-weird than the marketplace (which holy shit, talk about te

This is definitely the one I'm looking at closest. There's also Lapce https://github.com/lapce/lapce which has great velocity and looks to be a pretty welcoming project. VS Code has become the IE of old imo a

I gave this an earnest try over the course of a few months. There were notable bugs in nearly all of the extensions I needed to use for work. It's known that Microsoft ships custom builds of the open source portion of VS Code, and ther

The way that VS Code is spreading, and the stranglehold Microsoft has on development and direction of the product, give me very strong IE4/5/6 vibes. I really hope some of the open source alternatives that aren't corporation-

sibling comments are asking questions about antitrust and EU regulations - truly interesting, and far beyond the shallow vitriol being spewed over and over again as if it's an original thought.

Interesting thought. Also curious on consequences.

The amount of sarcasm, triteness, and personally directed anger in the comments here is disappointing.

In Michigan we'd use a potato gun (for the noise) to scare them off, as well as very low velocity bb guns (hit the foot of one, they alarm and the flock leaves). The ultimate device to keep those poop machines away was my Australian Sh

If you spend time in their issues, or try to contribute via issues, a pattern emerges; Microsoft as a corp entity has an iron grip on the development and progress. It's open source only in that you can fork freely. UX and DX improvemen

Very sad. I'll continue to use it. I can't abide how vscode is run as a project by Microsoft.

Here's an example reference from September this year that provides more nuance beyond an obtuse rebuttal: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/09/11/united... As with all things

I have the same sorts of gripes with VS Code; stubbornness from the people running the project at MS and refusal to listen to the userbase. It seems to be a pervasive trait at MS.

Its newsworthy because Twitter has been publicly denying that shadowbanning has been in place, and they've denied that preferential treatment based on preferences of internal teams has been in place. Both of those are now being shown t

You've misunderstood. I don't believe the people who acted felt they were being coerced - I believe they felt they were doing the right thing and were happy to oblige.
175.
by andrew_ 4y ago
Agreed, but that would require acting parties within Twitter to claim they were coerced or forced to act. Knowing who the acting parties were, that's highly unlikely. So I don't think the counter-argument holds much water.
