I think C#/dotnet will be relevant on windows for a long time. Personally I'm done with that platform though. Dotnet being free and open source software is great though. There are some fantastic cross platform projects out there written in it, such as Jellyfin.
VSCodium or Godot depending on what I'm working on.
Whatever language support via LSP is available for VSCodium,
Prettier, I'll have to check the rest. Nothing that drastically changes the experience.
Basically whatever does auto formatting, code completion(without using "AI"), and error highlighting.
I had a little scroll through yeah. They may not be interested in display port, but they're sure interested in money. That's why I suggested people by stuff with display port, rather that try to fight to have HDMI more open.
I appreciate AMD trying to improve HDMI openness, they've always been more open. That's why I've bought AMD oven Intel and nvidia for the last 10 years or so.
All we can do as consumers is vote with our wallets. That's all these companies care about.
In addition to this, Signal can be downloaded from their own website and has a self update mechanism. It also does not depend on google play services (which I don't have on my android phone)
PlayStation was originally
X = B
O = A
Because in Japan they use a circle to mean the same thing as in English a check mark is used. That is: "yes", or "correct". The cross means "no", or "wrong" in the same context in English and Japanese.
At some point the English language PlayStation games started flipping the meaning of X and O. Not sure why. Maybe to align with Xbox? So eventually Sony changed it in Japan too in order to standardise globally.
Developers should absolutely get paid for their work, but as @mina86@lemmy.wtf said, that is is a different issue.
There are plenty of companies that employ developers of FOSS code, both copyleft and permissive licence.
Anyone who cares about user freedoms is not choosing a permissive licence.
The problem is developers only caring about themselves and other developers.
When I talk to devs I know who like FOSS, they are always focussed on their needs as a dev when it comes to licences. The real concern was, and always should be, for the software user's freedoms.
How about just don't buy a PC for now? I'm sure the machine you've got in good enough. Just hang on to it until the prices come back down
