VScodium exists

see for work it makes sense because you hopefully don't do personal stuff on that computer, there's no hope of privacy on a work computer.

VS Code is one of the most popular text editors (even among Linux users) and is developed by MS.

I use Emacs btw.

lmfao Seven Ah Ah Ah

🤮

I switched to Linux to get away from Windows, thank you very much. I also won't forget how in 2014, the remains at an African-American gravesite got moved and damaged—just so they could build another data centre.

I think a general rule would be an antivirus unaffiliated with data center construction.

There are things that we don't know about yet that are too complicated to code by hand, and whey the models are good we will discover their limits then and start working on those

Should we change for the sake of change without any tangible benfits and obvious disadvantages on supposedly enterprise grade distros?

How dare you

Does Linux Torvalds use those Chinese and open weight models? Iirc he was using Claude

Competent developers make mistakes too. I think it's worth at least skimming every line in a PR. Things like indexing out of bounds should probably be handled by testing or using a memory safe language.

I don't think code review is the place where you should be trying to catch bugs in the minutia of the code. You should be assessing readability/maintainability, architectural decisions, risk, and testing strategy. That does involve reading all of the code, even if only by skimming.

I'm good — there is nothing being installed on my systems that I don't know about, thanks.

Is this where they install the tracking ID too?

lol that’s gonna be a nope from me, dawg

It's mostly Windows of course. But some people in those companies may prefer to use Linux, and this gives a them a higher chance of being allowed to do so. I for one am running Linux in a company that's increasingly pushing for Microsoft stuff.

Windows Defender is a good Antivirus, but which Linux user in their right mind would install Microsoft software voluntarily?

I bet they would like that. They can fuck right off though.

lmao, even

"I'm against change!"

Great, then don't change. No one is forcing you to. Just let others do their thing.

lol

Yeah man, we should never change anything.

I also agree with your points on ethics and the knowledge shrinking. But I can't think of a sane route. Not using AI in the current state will leave the kernel behind (at least in security matters which is obvious), and using it will degrade the quality of the software itself, and its community.

There are probably edge cases and you might not know about them until you actually run into them by running a script or similar but then it is to late as people dont want things to break. There is 30 years of testing, and expected behavior, behind on what we have today.
