The problem is the Gnome team doesn't give a flying rat's ass about maintaining a stable api. I've never bothered with extensions because even the most basic stuff only works for one or two versions. The neovim team is pretty committed to backwards compatibility and following standards for interoperability like LSP these days, so it's much easier for third parties to maintain a large set of extended functionality at this point. If they acted like the gnome team, your status bar plugin would break every other update.

Finding new ways webshits fuck up the most basic development principles boggles my mind. It's like they intentionally stay ignorant.

Will you need your own account for the proprietary ones? Mozilla paying for these feels like it couldn't be sustainable long term, which is worrying.

Tbf, does anyone actually "like" C++?

Pretty crazy to reccomend Java as a secure alternative.

I got a set off ebay, Jesus christ they're loud. I ended up returning them cause I could hear the grinding through my whole house

I don't know if I'd really call this an issue, workers at companies generally start unions because they're being pushed into untenable hours and subsistence living without an escape. When you can jump from a sinking ship and add 15-20% to your salary you're just in a very different situation. There are risks to getting serious about organizing a union, especially in tech where the vast majority shops aren't union. You could end up tied to whatever company you're at currently for the rest of your career, since I'd imagine many non union shops would blacklist you from hiring if they found out you attempted to organize at a previous job. It's also difficult to get enough people on board for unionization when almost everyone in your department likely has the option to leave for a similar pay bump. The benefits of unionization are much less tangible for tech workers, who generally lead pretty comfortable lives, than professions that are tipically unionized like tradespeople or factory workers.

It kinda crazy you can't do this, wasn't Microsoft forced to let you change default browsers in an antitrust suit?

Now it'll go to some private equity vampire who will really ruin it

If your cloud provider decides to screw you you're gonna have to put physical infrastructure together no matter what license their software is distributed under.

I don't understand why you'd be fixing unit tests he broke during his pr. It seems like he might be bullying you? Maybe discuss with your manager.

Brain dead take. Sums up as "Wah! Information you publicize is public!" This guy completely misses the fact the the privacy nightmare of corporate social media is the apps that scrape every piece of traceable information off your phone to sell, and the cookies and browser tracking so they can follow you all over the web. AFAIK fediverse sites aren't doing this.
