Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • ย 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    It should be VIM

    No one comes back from VIM.

    Those who say they have are dirty liars... or have it paused in the background.

    i always end up just going back to vscodium.
    liked Helix quite a lot more but still switched back after a while

    ... because official vscode binaries are proprietary, released under EULA and include tracking components

    official vscode(oss) binaries still have tracking, they're not properly configured and come without any marketplace. (arch ships a config file with openvsix though)

    vscodium comes without tracking and pre-configured with openvsix marketplace, and also provides it's own branding.

    @vox really!! I thought that vscode open source

    [โ€“] vox@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    yes, but vscode's source code is still released under an open-source license. (that's what vscodium and code-oss are built from)

    [โ€“] milady@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    There's the base vs code source code, which microsoft takes, adds a bunch of tracking, compiles it, and distributes that binary. If you compiled vs code yourself from source, you would not get the same executable.

    A bit like chrome, because i'm pretty sure chrome isn't open source, chromium is. Could be wrong on that.
