  • Just skimmed the link, and from what I understand the legal document prohibiting use of their marketplace did not exist in 2017 (or I am wrong and it took 5 years for someone to dig it up from Terms of Use).

  • Unclear because both urls were uploaded to to github under open source license by a Microsoft developer, and then promptly removed. I can't find it now (could be removed, could be posted in an issue) but VSCodium have instructions on how to change to MS's marketplace.

    Last I read, Microsoft hadn't replied on whether it was legal or not to use their makeplace, since it was uploaded under open source. Thus again, unclear.

    Edit: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/31168 The issue where the license of the marketplace is discussed.

  • but most people aren't doing this

    Does updating from a non-LTS version of a OS what is no longer supported, to the current LTS count?

    I didn't realise it wasn't LTS at the time, only when I wanted to update to the next LTS did I realise what I had done. Let me tell you, it wasn't an easy fix, I had to write the StackOverflow answer myself.

  • I wonder if people used older versions of windows, didn't like it, swapped to Linux and never looked at windows again since.

    Windows has become extremely easy to install and use, much more so imo than any Linux distro I've tried.

    Now for a server, Linux Debian is rock solid.

  • Why would you even what to stop an update? Genuine question, I've never had that problem (except when Linux mint got an update for virtual machine pushed to desktop users, breaking their DE).

  • but that something trained on public material is privately owned.

    Is that really a problem? Is a create something new based on public knowledge, should I not be able to profit from it?

    I learn to paint from YouTube, should I paint for free now?

    I'll admit that the scope of ChatGPT is MUCH bigger than one person painting.

  • This feels like Andy Warhol's art combined with TPB's court processing.

    Andy earned money buy making art using other's art and TPB sold ads while telling you where you could aquire content illegaly, while never actually hosting any of the content.

    Where does the line go? If I write a book the is similar to someone else's book, is that illegal? If I use a tool to help me write? Which tools are allowed and which are not?

    It is going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
