Not the only downside - some MS developed extensions, e.g. their Python integration, have to be patched to work with VSCodium: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/discussions/1641

Yeah, they really added DRM.

And no dead rats

I think I’ve figured this out, and my explanation even extends to boxes, squares and anything else cats like to sit in.

Every cat has an invisible Lakitu with a camera flying around them, giving them a 3rd person view of themselves. The cat, well aware of how good they look, uses this to arrange themselves in the most aesthetically pleasing way.

This happened quite often for various UI settings etc. Often there were technical reasons for removing the option (e.g. rewrites where they dropped features with low usage), but it is a real thing.

You know the party was good when you spend the whole next day looking like this!

The full range of dangliness on display.

I don’t understand how they’re still doing it. This is literally the reason I see most often for people turning away from Ubuntu.

They must really expect to be able to thoroughly enshittify Snaps, otherwise it can’t be worth it for them.

That’s why your affirmation should be “be a lazy arse”!

“Don’t be a lazy bum”

Couldn’t have been him. Just look at the orange coloration.

How’s a cat supposed to steal Cheetos with only one braincell?

You have NO idea how many intrusive thoughts per second the average cat has to deal with

I treat my heart like I treat my car: unless there’s fluid actively leaking out, those noises are just for attention.

She told me she’s not looking for friendship, so

But it CAN be ground to bone meal and replace a small amount of flour in commercial bread baking operations

Still less weird than all those bourgeois that call everything by the brand name.

“Ooh, but it’s a different chemical compound, look at me, I’m so important!” I DON’T CARE! If it’s a powder and it’s white, it gets the same name as everything else.

The Grosse Têtes?

and one bug that was quickly caught and fixed

The performance regression? It hasn’t been fixed.

You know - when you list two points, and I refer to those two points in my response, maybe assume that I’m responding in the same order you listed?

Actually that is not too far off from being true.

No, it absolutely is very far off, unless you find actual studies & user feedback. Lets not do weird mental gymnastics to find logic in pure hyperbole. You gotta give me way more than one 1-week-old bug, and one bug that was quickly caught and fixed. Bugs are going to happen in software that is worked on.

The reason X was stable for a long time is because many new & nowadays important features (like fractional scaling) weren’t being worked on, the ecosystem was mostly frozen. There’s more churn around Wayland because it’s newer & supports more (and often structurally much better) approaches to solving its problems. Don’t want to get caught in that? Maybe don’t use a distro that is specifically known for shipping new software very quickly.

Ah yes, I forgot that all Nvidia users also use their internal Intel graphics card. How could I?

I think he might just enjoy getting money spent on him. Some people are like that
