  • Last I heard about was it when it was officially launched months back.
    I gave it a try, it was immediately noticeable that it was worse than VSCode for me, so I just dropped it, besides, I still don’t understand the appeal of an app that still has to grow, but is just a sister to VSCode, so it pretty much won’t bring unique value to the table now or in the future.
    It’s actually open source, yes, that’s great, but that’s why I’m using the open build VSCodium and it works nicely. It’s the only reason where I still have hopes it might be interesting at some point, since the majority of the workforce behind VSCode is, of course, Microsoft, the direction it’ll take will always be driven by business, and it does show when the last few months (or more, I don’t remember) the changelogs have been increasingly featuring AI integration updates, to the point a few releases had like 99% of just that, especially Copilot, that I mostly don’t care for. At least some of those include creation of APIs that can be used by other extensions, but still, there’s requested features waiting there that aren’t about AI and for that sole fact they are just put in second place, not taken care of up to years. Perhaps a project with an actually open governance can work more towards what the community cares about, so, personally, I’d give it a few years to try it again and see how it’s come along



  • It’s just an analysis of the state of things, I’m sure they don’t say that to mean “everything should be done as I like it”, but observing how poor the decisions of a wave of devs have been in regards to licencing, most likely for the simple reason they just go with what feels more open, rather than delving into how and why copyleft is a better safeguard for the good of the entire community




  • If we take only the battery pack into consideration, where it directly takes power from its own circuit and delivers it through the coil it has, I’ve tried with and without case on the phone and it didn’t look like it made any difference, always around that wattage, is it not strange that it wouldn’t even be able to reach half the maximum speed in pretty much optimal conditions?













  • Not judging but just fyi, that’s like the worst of both worlds tbh. The point of installing independently of the base system is that the system is immutable and easy to roll back to a previous state, if you use a mutable system and also install packages with other means, you’re working around a limitation that isn’t even there and wasting more space to get almost none of the benefits (aside from easier permission control for Flatpaks)
