This made me laugh a bit as I remembered people saying “Oh we have Nadella now, things have changed”. Have they? Have they really? Windows Recall. VS Code forcing Copilot. Windows forcing Copilot. Office forcing Copilot. Azure forcing Copilot. GitHub forcing Copilot. Outlook forcing Copilot. Edge forcing Copilot. You folks are insane.
You forgot that even poor old notepad.exe also got the Copilot treatment.
Microsoft doing Microsoft things, even with all those fresh coats of "open source" paint they bathe themselves in the last decade they really can't change their DNA. Expect the amount of f*ckery to increase as the AI realities set in but the number has to go up either way. It reminds me of the good old days of Visual Studio + .NET + SQL Server where they played these games too.
Than the .NET team acts surprised that despite going open source and cross platform, the non Microsoft shops still aren't rushing up to adopt it.
They have to thank upper management for shxxxx on their great accomplishments among the community.

Unfortunately both of them are back to their old selfs.
However lets not forget that those big corporations, are the same ones that keep the lights on across many FOSS projects that get talked daily on HN.

This piece of news follows that of Copilot being added in an "update" to LG TVs with no option to disable or opt out. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46268844
It's a crime what LG did to webOS. Somehow they turned something great into one of the worst smart TV experiences on the market.
If anyone is considering moving editors, I was recently in the same boat and I can’t recommend enough lazyvim + the ebook “lazyvim for ambitious developers”. This gets you a fully featured vscode-like baseline (navigation, language integration, integrated terminal, the whole thing). I had tried many times to switch to vim/emacs and the initial barrier to get a workable system always kept me from pushing forward. With…
I think many people don't know or underestimate Zed. Native, fast, with extensions, with Vim mode support.

Fuck did it really? How on earth does that pan out? Who uses notepad? Writers? Word. Coders? Vim or VSCode or . I just don’t understand their logic. They make this beautiful pasture (Windows XP wallpaper) and then lay mines all over the field. Put up signs that say “Free Lemonade” and charge for parking.
Lots of people do use Notepad as a digital notepad. Random texts, mostly, or as a clipboard manager. It used to start really fast.

> Great there are other true open-source tools to be used zed, nvim without going into the actual qualities of the editor, they simply lack extension support, for now. In the embedded space, many manufacturers have switched - or are switching - to a suite of VSCode plugins and gradually discontinued the previous tools. Which is great on one hand: they don't have to keep supporting heavily modified IDEs from 10 or 20…
That's fair point. Did you try other IDEs? For example from Jetbrains? I'm not using IDEs but actually don't know others besides VSCode/Cursor and Jetbrains
I've use eclipse many times in the past, and hated every second of it. Stupid defaults, very stupid defaults.
I also don't like visual studio, the way it forces me to work with "solutions", like i can't have two different projects open at the same time.
Netbeans instead, that always felt so natural to me. And MPLABX is of course the one i use most of the time (like 60%, then 10% VSCode and 20% Qt)
I also really like Qt Creator, for generic C++ development too. And i would probably feel at home with KDevelop

I still find it better than Android TV though.
If you remember Palm/HP webOS, it had Preware homebrew that didn't require exploits to run, it was supported by default and was amazing. LG patched the one vuln that would have let me at least root the TV.
The Android TV devices I bought from reputable retailers are at least beefy enough to handle input without lag, and I can run whatever APK I want on them.
