@itsfoss Switch to Linux in January after using Windows most of my life. Started with Arch, tried PopOS (ok), NixOS (cool concept), back to Arch (bricked it), then Fedora (great os). Returned to Arch 4 months ago and loving it.
Hawk Tuah recently went viral for her based rant about VS Code’s not-so-open source nature.
“It’s astonishing that people still think VS Code is fully open source when Microsoft is playing the oldest trick in the book,” she said, exasperated. “They release the base code under an open-source license, sure—but the moment you want real functionality like Python Language Servers or useful extensions, suddenly you're tied to their official, proprietary builds.”
She added that “they even hide APIs for internal use only. It's a classic Embrace, Extend, Extinguish strategy, and people are falling for it like it’s 1999 all over again.”
