and why you should never trust cloud providers with your only copy of anything

well, yeah. Even the old 3-2-1 backup policy is against that.

Wow, prejudiced much. The JS ecosystem evolved a lot over the year, and polyfills for most environment are next to non existant. The worst environment to me (react-native) do heavily use them, but they’re built-in anyway.

Also, about stuff being slow when made in JS… people that make slow clusterfuck in JS would also make slow clusterfuck in other languages. React is guilty of that too, trying to re-implement core language features OVER the language itself, and that is stupid. Still, as with every language, it is possible to use it decently. You’ll never get to the point of raw optimized assembly performance, but even higher level scripting language can leverage JIT compilation and work well on any modern (<10 years) computer. Taking as an example the worst developers out there using the worst way to do things is not exactly a good benchmark.

Backward compatibility and not seeing the future. Some decisions are taken at one point in time, then a new use case show up, then a new paradigm evolve, then… etc etc.

It’s really the same thing that holds back a lot of languages and libraries. And even when replacement shows up, old habits from devs and old projects maintenance keep all these things well alive too.

It was explicitly said to not use this outside of VSCode, so, I’m not sure where the surprise comes from.

The problem is that they’re killing competition.

So, they pay to develop a product, for themselves, explicitly says “it’s only for us, shoo shoo”, and when they decide that their product, that they pay for, and provide for free to their user, should not be used by other, it kills the competition that did not do anything except take the product for free despite being told not to?

I’m not on the side of Microsoft for most things. But if doing nothing but taking someone else’s free product qualifies to be competition that should be protected, we’re having problems.

Disable automatic updates

Unless your offline don’t do that. Even on windows that’s the worst advice one can give.

Both sides, as in, the fair, balanced, and upbringing right view, and the evil menace to society that’s the destroying left sickos.

You know, being neutral and all that.

the existence of the thing remains unchanged

I fear they’re menacing the existence of people down the line, so there’s that.

Which is the biggest joke, them starting a “research” effort, already knowing the outcome, or knowing when it will be completed ahead of time?

Real hetero cis men only have sex with other real hetero cis men, preferably more than one at a time, to avoid lowering their male-ness. That’s the only way to keep our society alive, obviously.

Pfffrt. These jokers are such idiots.

Then you missed the point that what you think does not have to be universal when it comes to reading material or movies.

Hardware support is not really the province of distro, to me. Which makes them even more ridiculous.

They started it by pretending to want to connect with artists.

why downvotes? You guys like cringe fanservice?

You think something you dislike makes it cringe. Perhaps other people do not think that way, and just believe that some people like stuff, and other people like other stuff, without feeling attacked in their feelings.

I’m not sure if he’ll get unalived with funny prejudice, but if I had to give pointers, don’t aim for the head, it’s unlikely to hit any vital organ in there.

You only see the PR stunts. And probably only the good ones.

Macron’s government to every administration and projects : Keep buying MS Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS, don’t look at all the providers in Europe (and France).

Yeah, a bit sad that the person in charge of the fucking health of the whole US is the last one to get the memo on Earth.

You’re allowed to criticize anything. The point is that some people are actively looking to forbid the existence of this or that on their personal whim.

The same way you’re free to ignore a piece of work you don’t care about, any author is free to ignore criticism of it. I’m just advocating not forbidding imaginary things, which is unfortunately a thing.

Exactly my point. It’s a good thing that we can make stuff that some people dislike freely. The only other option is to never, ever, do anything, as you’ll always find people that are against anything;
