@remixtures@tldr.nettime.org “Even if AI can make you more productive, there is no business model in increasing your pay and decreasing your hours.”

Very well put.

"AI companies are not pitching a future of AI-enabled centaurs. They're colluding with bosses to build a world of AI-shackled reverse centaurs. Some people are using AI tools (often standalone tools derived from open models, running on their own computers) to do some fun and exciting centaur stuff. But for the AI companies, these centaurs are a bug, not a feature – and they're the kind of bug that's far easier to spot and crush than the bugs that AI code-bots churn out in volumes no human can catalog, let alone understand."

@itsfoss@mastodon.social Vs code 🥲🤖

Are you able to make GCode or DXF out of Inkscape or are you using other/more direct tools for designing?

@FreeBSDFoundation@mastodon.social @vermaden@bsd.cafe Hooray for Harald! @harald@hub.volse.no

@FreeBSDFoundation@mastodon.social I enjoyed the article, but I wished it was a deep provoking thought one.

@itsfoss@mastodon.social vs code

Hm, yeah, maybe not that then. In that case I have no idea, I just know I've used VSCode on a lot more resource-constrained machines than that and can't remember ever having it cause a whole system crash.

(Actually, not completely true -- once I set up a NixOS machine with 8GB of RAM and forgot to make any swap for it for some stupid reason, and that one definitely got completely hosed if I tried to open up e.g. Codium and Firefox at the same time. But not for any machine that was set up right 🙂.)

@PhilipTheBucket Ig it won’t hurt, but I don’t have issues with anything else, including compiling large programs on all cores and playing resource intensive games

Whoa... that's definitely not supposed to happen. My first random guess would be that some of your RAM's gone bad; if you're not using some Firefox derivative for web browsing, then VSCode might just be the only thing that's stressing the memory enough to cause the crash. But that's not an expected result just from stressing the system's resources (at least certainly not to that modest extent).

If it were me I might run a memory tester and see what it said. I have no real idea if that's the issue or not, but that's a thing I would try.

@PhilipTheBucket the whole os locks up and i have to force power off so it’s a genuine issue

1. Just because it has 47 GB mapped doesn't mean it's trying to use all that... I have used VSCode on a machine with 8 GB of RAM and it actually behaved better than Firefox, and I can't remember having any serious issues. Of course if it's your experience that it ruins your machine, then that's what's up, I'm just saying it might be an extension or something.
2. You might look into Helix Editor if you're up for a learning curve. I started learning it pretty recently and it is now my favorite editor for smaller / no-extension-needed projects.

@tfed@infosec.exchange 😅

@s94@vivaldi.net All of them are great choices. 😃

@bruuteuzius Nice 😄

@thegurkha@mstdn.social Sounds good 🙌

@itsfoss@mastodon.social Sublime Text, or vim if I can't be bothered. I don't code often enough to justify paying for #JetBrains

@itsfoss@mastodon.social VSC

@itsfoss@mastodon.social Netbeans, eclipse, Android studio, QTCreator and kdevelop.
it depends on what i need or want to do and for what i have or want to do it for.

@itsfoss@mastodon.social all the jetbrains community stuff and sometimes Helix 👌

@itsfoss@mastodon.social Eclipse IDE

@itsfoss@mastodon.social NeoVIM with Rust-analyzer + WezTerm ❤️

@itsfoss@mastodon.social small things just shell and vim, bigger things in VSCodium
