Same here. This should be illegal: not really different from racism in my opinion.

I'd say use GitPod over Codespaces. Originally Microsoft had VS Code Online before they migrated it over to GitHub's ownership.

When it was under Microsoft it was rock solid stable. I never had issues with it. When they migrated it to GitHub they removed access to everyone that had been using it for months and failed to migrate users across.

Months went by of waiting in the GitHub beta list (for something I'd already been using...) and by the time I got access to it again I couldn't believe how much worse the service had become. It has degraded a lot.

Sometimes ports get "stuck" and require a full container restart, which took time, so I ended up writing a script to randomise which port the service I was writing would use. Sometimes it had errors with saving files and they'd just vanish.

I've found GitPod to just work. I only use these services when I'm on the move, and use my desktop when at home. I couldn't imagine relying on Codespaces at all.

I know VS Code is Electron anyway, but why would you need an online editor? Couldn't Microsoft (or anyone who's forked it) just release VS Code for tablets? Surely something as powerful as the iPad Pro can handle a fancy text editor.

There's already a bunch of good code editors for iOS, such as Textastic, Koder and Buffer. Working Copy is a fantastic combined Git client and text editor, which I've used extensively to edit my own website, and Secure ShellFish from the same developer is a great SSH client, file manager and editor.

If you just combine Working Copy (of which I'm a huge fan) and github actions to build the site on merge to main, you get simple setup that really should do the trick for updates to a static site.

Well, I wrote some Ruby on Rails code on my Samsung tablet some years ago. I mean, I was running the editor and Rails on the tablet, inside Dex for Linux which is an Ubuntu 16.04 container (LXC?) sharing the kernel with Android. Samsung and Canonical worked together to port X11 to the tablet so I had a Unity desktop. I remember it came with VSCode preinstalled inside the container. It was a little slow but probably n…

I was yesterday researching options to use my tablet for upcoming extended trip and found that the Linux stuff Samsung had is sunsetted and couldn't find any alternative. Think I'll just bring a 13inch laptop.

Presumably this isn't about things people are stuck with (skin color, etc.) but things they choose (laws, etc.) and while discriminating on the former should be illegal, discriminating on the latter generally shouldn't be. Although when scaled up to such a large group, I can understand the perception of being almost entirely stuck in a situation (because it's not an individual choice for practical purposes) even when it's not a protected class.

Yep, I use Working Copy with both Jekyll and 11ty sites on Netlify to do the same thing.

Even made a Shortcuts action to create new posts - it formats the YAML frontmatter, inserts the date, asks for title, then creates a new document in Working Copy with the proper file path. Super useful.
