Not op but yes, I actually do. Dev for about 20 years, and the vast majority showing vim/emacs struggle when presenting. Could be presentation jitters ofc but the answer to:

You think thousands of developers are handicapping themselves for bragging rights?

Yes, yes I do. Thousands is not all, but they are definitively in the thousands

Echoing bermuda@beehaw.org. "Degenerates"? You mean a games series that pushed the boundaries when it was new, truly pushed what open world meant, and that it could be done with large, crowded cities technically as well. Sure if you play them nowadays the might not brush any strokes and feel flat but the GTA series has been defining a game for generations where "everybody" in that generation had played and been fond of. 1-2-3, San Andreas, and vice city and the ilks. There wasnt really any competitors to that when they were released.

I'm going to guess you are right that it won't be too innovative. Story wise they have never been innovative, nor pretended to be. They have pushed the boundaries of open world in both engineering and social commentary/satire.

But calling several generations of gamers who grew up with this "degenerates". Hard to take you seriously and your attitude can eff right off

I'd like to extend gratitude and thank you for your awesome work.

I'd also like to extend a whole hearted F-u for the minor panic loop you sent me through right now.

Could have been funny if you weren't comparing their generic plugin based IDE with one of the pre-set, python ones. The descriptions are fine.

This also ironically highlights exactly the horrors and the business model of the intellij IDEs but that's a rant for another day

Imo it's not been redefined at all. People are just pushing the boundaries of what it means and creating absolutist views on what it should mean. There is a space for that sure, but shaming companies that define where their own boundaries are is not the way of it.

If we do that, you are challenging what software freedom actually is if you ask me

Your argument falls flat because the Windows source code has never been distributed under open source licenses. Access to the source code does not mean you can redistribute it automatically. Hence its a choice. If you choose to redistribute closed source code, that's on you.

If the people selling are passing someone else's work as their own, that's stealing. Otherwise, it's just Free Software working as intended.

Do you not see the contradiction in this statement? Where do you find the line of what is stealing and "working as intented"?

If someone is writing software but wants to prevent redistribution, then go ahead and make a license that forbids it. But then don't get to call it "Open Source" or anything like that.

There are so many licenses for this model already, I'm inclined to believe that you havent actually published any OSS yourself and your attitude in these threads are mildly said, off putting.

I am a big fan of OSI and support their work, but you are treating them (based in what i can read in this thread) like some holy, all defining entity, of what is open source. They are not, and true open source, cannot, and should not, ever derive its power from a central agency setting rules and definitions. If that happens, that will be the end of open source.

Please stop gatekeeping OSS, it hurts all of us

Edit: some autocomplete stupid grammar

What blissful place you must be in, to think the wars have stopped. Hell, there is even inter-Vim wars now (vim, neovim, lunarvim et al)

We get it, you are disappointed. But if you are concerned about saving cash you should've probably waited to buy it yourself this close to release.

But it doesn't objectively suck, it builds on the world, and does so decently. If you liked it before you are probably going to like this DLC.

Teenagers? What effing instance are you running on? I mostly see 30+ IT people wherever I go

Is someone checking human summarizers as well? I mean, humans make mistakes but also generally adds flavours, and can focus on things due to inherent bias. In fact, this is actually an area were bots can probably produce more factually correct and unbiased summaries than humans (depends on the quality of course).

The way past both is to actually read the article?
