A modern text editor with language servers running absolutely will take up 1GB+, I know I can easily get neovim to go past that with typescript projects.

The next head of state for the USA famously is allergic to the truth, why would we hold American companies to a higher standard?

That’s really shitty given the expectation set when using a VPN

I was wondering the same, I’ve not had any issues personally

That thumbnail lol

Okay but what if you use emoji in your password?

Politics is not just the relationship between two people, it’s the relationship between a person and everyone/everything else in the world.

Reducto ad absurdum: would you suggest a world where every country is at war with everyone else would foster a better environment for global FOSS collaboration than one where the world was at complete peace?

I honestly thought the statement you quoted was entirely uncontroversial. “Healthy” and “global” being the key words, I’m not saying it’s a requirement for FOSS to exist in general or anything.

It’s a fact of life that politics permeates everything, nothing is in isolation of the political climate it exists within.

The state of the world today is a function of the politics that got us here, a big change in world politics can have dramatic and far reaching effects.

A healthy global FOSS culture requires collaborative politics to be the flavour of the day—which is unfortunately not the case in a lot of countries currently.

It’s the express, you’re better off never reading a word they print

Post anything on 4chan and expect insults

Are you implying there’s something wrong with that?

Cheers for the response, I appreciate it!

I’m curious about the plugins as obviously I’m not gonna be familiar with the notepad++ plugin ecosystem now—what’s special about the ones you listed?

Assuming edit EOL is just changing the line termination characters, all editors have that don’t they? Or does this not do what I think?

Intrigued about VSCode being slow for text manipulation too—I remember this being a big reason I dropped notepad++ for sublime and IMO VSCode and sublime more or less have parity on that front, particularly with vim bindings

I just don’t get the love for notepad++

I started using it as my main back in 2006ish, I then switched to sublime text about 2011, then about 5-6 years ago to VSCode. All the time using vim for any in-terminal quick edits.

Notepad++ is easily my least favourite editor of the lot, by several miles, it just seems so rigid and clunky without even going into how it’s windows only. Every editor I’ve used since has been a huge improvement over the one prior IMO

With evil installed

Wow a reference to those Mac Vs PC ads from like 15 years ago

Plex is probably the easiest and most convenient, I think jellyfin is viable too, but I don’t use it.

If you’ve got the money, Roon or Audirvana are the gold standard of self hosted music

If you want something similar, but free, look into things like volumio or subsonic based solutions.

Funnily enough you can have up to 65536 files in a directory in FAT, so you could technically end up with PR~65536.BAS

Oh it’s even better, windows explorer can’t really do case sensitive

But NTFS is a case sensitive file system

This occasionally manifests in mind boggling problems

Sometimes there’s a benefit in getting open source code into proprietary software. Think libraries implementing interoperability APIs, communication protocols, file formats, etc

That’s what permissive licenses are for.

If some company wants to keep their code closed and they have a choice between something interoperable or something proprietary that they will subsequently promote, and the licence is the only thing stopping them from going for the open source approach, that’s worse.

Completely agree that a good breadth of everything else is suited to copyleft licensing though

I’ve been an engineer for about two decades now and pretty much everyone I’ve ever worked with has expressed that they would never work for Facebook, betting companies or defense companies.

Amazon is probably next on the shit list and then Google, but each to a much lesser extent than the ones before. Working for Google still holds a level of prestige for some people.
