After reading this, I'm kinda curious how it compares to JetBrains. It's becoming more and more VSCode like and I'm not a fan.

Does Kate support or have plugins for renaming symbols, presenting documentation, formatting files, showing code diagnostics beyond syntax errors (for example code smells or so), have AI integration (explain this, rewrite this, replace this with prompt output, ...), specific framework integrations (reactjs, django, actix, ...), and stuff like expanding macros in C/C++ and Rust?

As you said, it's out of the box/bag. The thing I'll push for is open sourcing all code. Being able to copy opensource code and hide it in proprietary code is to me the biggest problem. Were everything opensource, I doubt anybody would bat an eye. "You copied my code and put it out there publicly, free of charge? Good. Do it again".

Personally, I license everything as restrictively as possible for companies and would love an enforcable opensource license that figures out how to make companies contribute back or pay for use of the code.

Not specially you, just a comment about the license: OP's problem with attribution is minor. The major problem they have is that Microsoft took his time to get a personal intro to the project, forked it and didn't contribute back. That's what he's unhappy about. That there was no attribution is barely important.

Yes, choosing MIT doesn't require hem to contribute back and it should've been a restrictive opensource license, but it seems he really thought they asked for a call in order to join in on the development.

Why do you believe windows is required to stay connected with the world? Are there specific applications you believe can only run on windows or for which you believe there is no alternative?

Just in case, you can have a look at https://alternativeto.net/ , input your windows application and find opensource alternatives that run on Linux. You can make a list and double check with the community here.

I ask because there might be a possibility for you to go full Linux. It depends on your requirements.

Agreed. I wish moderators would ban those people from linux communities and more users would report their elitist behaviour. It's really annoying to ask a question and get belittled for having the audacity of being ignorant.

I understand these people lack power elsewhere in their lives and want to be powerful where they believe themselves to be experts, but it's a real pity they express it with a complete lack of empathy. If you don't want to help, don't say anything. Let somebody who does want to help nicely do the helping.

Wow, people like you really should be banned from Linux communities for beginners. You're a detriment to them.

And already the purists are going "if I may interject for a moment" or screaming "reeeee", as was expected. It's like they can't comprehend that the world has changed and that text written 25 years ago doesn't stay correct, applicable, or right forever.

The pearl clutching gasp of "but this is against scripture" truly never gets old.

Everything has it's uses. make is maybe good at incremental builds but is (an)used as a task runner which requires the use of "PHONY" in many places, it has about 6 different ways to declare and use variables all with different gotchas, generally has a convoluted syntax, it doesn't support different interpreters per task, and lacks a bunch more features. Just explore the feature list and examples that just has.

It's simply outdated and mostly lives by the power of defaults and graybeards insisting on its use. Therecs no surprise that things like cmake, nmake, and other tools sprung up to replace it.

I ripped the "met life" shirt off of the snoopy plush and trashed everything else.

Trashing was maybe unnecessary? Could've donated it to those in need.

However I do support the sentiment. Fuck Microsoft. Hopefully you'll be able to find employment that is more fulfilling and less genocidal. (This is not a stab at you, I get working for an evil company and wanting to get away from it).

All of those look goofy af compared to just.

That amazing experience of having to print out instructions at a friends house to recover a dual-boot system after either grub fucked up or windows XP fucked up. Good times.

Can someone explain this meme? What's going on with excel?

What if they pull in a new dependency with a CVE or that executes malicious code? How am I supposed to check that? Or what if I miss a bug in the justfile or shell script?

Do you have a link to that? There's a blog entry "Earthly Switches to Open-source" From July 2023. Are they undoing that?

Anti Commercial-AI license

Not anymore

Are you able to run woodpecker locally from the repository? As in can woodpecker run in the checked out repository run the CI jobs?

Interesting. But what's the Wayland protocol have to do with it? Where does that come in?

A blog entry on how it works and what it does at a high level could be nice. I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but there must be some API call to Lemmy and it's probably happening on the server due to CORS; not sure how this would work just in the browser if the Lemmy instance has CORS setup...

Edit: OK the instance 0d.gs does in fact not have CORS 😮 That's a little concerning...

Hold up, neither does programming.dev? Uh... @recursive_recursion@programming.dev and @Ategon@programming.dev is that safe? I'm not a security expert but doesn't this allow for cross site attacks?

I read the blog post and am still confused as to what this is. It's something I never used in X11 (if X11 supported it), therefore it's not possible for me to miss it.

Is this the "restart all applications you were running when you restart your computer" feature? Was it broken in Wayland? If so, why? I thought the desktop environment would take care of starting the processes, placing the windows, and so on.

Not entirely sure what the before and after of this are. The blog post and article are written as if people know what this feature is.
