I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting
I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.
Google is also one of the most prolific contributors to Linux, and was the #3 corporate contributor in 2022. If you’re avoiding everything Google had a hand in you literally can’t use any GNU/Linux.
It’s almost as though the beauty of open source is that it doesn’t matter who contributes, we all benefit from the result because we can all check each other’s work and all use what we want
I’m not sure why people even use vscode over vim
Yet most project uses GitHub too you know…
True but GitHub wasn’t always Microsoft and at least in my experience moving between git providers is a pain
GitHub has been recognized as harmful to the free software community at least as early as 2015, years before the Microsoft acquisition. See RMS email on GitHub.
There is more than enough freedom in GitHub to set a license as you see fit. Stallman is being obtuse.
Because the hate is based on their shitty OS. They did a fairly good job with VSCode. Our hate isn’t blind.
VScode is the epitome of the EEE strategy. The core product is open-source, but it’s filled to the brim with tracking and the official extensions have DRM. Yes, there’s DRM on your python LSP.
Anyone who gives a shit should look for alternatives right away. The problem is just that there aren’t any that are as easy to set up.
Shouldn’t using VSCodium solve the telemetry problem?
Aren’t there FOSS linters which work for VSCodium?
I only use vim.
i have been trapped for 2 years now… hope seems pointlessyou get trapped in Vim because you dont know how to exit.
i get trapped because ive sunk so much time configuring
May your vimrc be passed down through the ages
Its all I’m leaving my kids
Your daily reminder that VSCode is shit not because of telemetry (take your time foil hat off for one second and hear me out and I say that jokingly with love) but because the extension marketplace is not allowed to be accessed by third party tools (INCLUDING CODIUM) and even then many of the extensions are proprietary, closed source. You’re not even allowed to distribute compiled VSIX files. It’s disgusting. Reading about the troubles gitpod faced that led to the (now) Eclipse Marketplace (idk the name, but it’s for VS Code plugins, don’t be tricked, it’s just owned by Eclipse foundation) is disheartening.
Oh shit really? I knew their debugger was locked down didn’t know extensions were
Codium seems to have all the same extensions though, has someone else just setup their own marketplace?
most of us hate the government and yet we use the roads
False consensus says what?
Those that truly dislike MS and telemetry won’t.
If I’m using non-free it is Jet Brains.
I tend to use Kate, KDevelop.
MS still slurping code into Copilot from Github and telemetry in VSCode.
MS still slurping code into Copilot from […] telemetry in VSCode.
Would you happen to have a source for that? At a cursory glance, it looks like VSCode only does that if you’re using Copilot, but if you don’t have the extension installed they aren’t.
VScode is proprietary and is a black box. The scary think for me is that you don’t know what the program is doing
Time to run VSCodium
@flashgnash also edge is a great browser we just hate it because of the way they force you to use it
nope, I deeply hate microsoft and I don’t use their products. Millennials don’t know the history.
