From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode (lemm.ee)

I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

Those that truly dislike MS and telemetry won't.

If I'm using non-free it is Jet Brains.

I tend to use Kate, KDevelop.

MS still slurping code into Copilot from Github and telemetry in VSCode.

MS still slurping code into Copilot from [...] telemetry in VSCode.

Would you happen to have a source for that? At a cursory glance, it looks like VSCode only does that if you're using Copilot, but if you don't have the extension installed they aren't.

VScode is proprietary and is a black box. The scary think for me is that you don't know what the program is doing

Time to run VSCodium

Unless Quake was made with Copilot, that seems very unlikely:

Could you get Kate to work with LSP for say svelte or vuejs ?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Kate has native LSP support, which by default uses "typescript-language-server" for JavaScript. As I don't really do much JavaScript stuff I can't say how well it works, or if it works with those particular frameworks.
