  • VS Code for Linux may be secretly hoarding trashed files

    Jump

  • I think the open version might not have the ms extension store configured. There should be a separate AUR package for that. At least there is for VSCodium. Alternately you can just grab the VSIX for the extensions you want from the MS version and install them on the open one. Personally I don't know what open vss is so I use codium.

  • He's also not a billionaire. Him and Jimmy Wales are true heroes of our time. Their work has shaped the modern world yet their fortunes are nowhere near even a single billion. It seems almost absurd and dumb on their part that they didn't even make 1 billion in decades given their impact, but turns out that's just the normal rate of accumulation when you don't just sell out or steal the work of others.

  • I keep hoping that all the demonic shit Aaron Rupar is covering will eventually push him to the left. I'm amazed how he can still be a milquetoast lib while being constantly exposed to evil.

    Analysis: Charlie Kirk’s death shows political violence is now a feature of US life

    Jump

  • I'm inclined towards the opposite: Kirk would have been too valuable to them. He's been one of the biggest propagandists and doing good work. Plus his debate shtick works really well on unsuspecting people with no opinions because he comes off like a well informed and well meaning "debate me" dork rather than a chud sociopath (though he is more like that on his shows, especially the one with Jack Posobiec who's a more unhinged nazi, but only the truly committed end up watching those since it's a much less entertaining format than "Kirk DESTROYS student" vertical clips).

    I mean, compare that to when Matt Walsh does public debates with young people: the sleaze on that guy is permanent, he gives off Handmaid's Tale commander vibes. The newbie reaction is less "he seems to have a point" and more "why is he allowed around minors". Basically what I'm saying is I think they would have picked someone less crucial to their operation if it were a Trump hit job, someone like Jack Posobiec or even smaller. It would have had literally the same effect.

  • Uproar as EU Parliament declines to hold minute of silence for Charlie Kirk

    Jump

  • Wait, really? Nobody knew him? I guess it makes sense: everyone knows the song but nobody knows the singer. Only in this case it's not a song, it's propaganda and indoctrination. Like how if Christopher Rufo kicked the bucket, few would know he literally invented the CRT scare.

  • I hope the old gods and new gods eat each other alive, but they've been collaborating so well up to now, unfortunately for us.

    It's not all been fun in the sun: the fallout between Trump and Elon, the H1B infighting, and now the Epstein stuff (arguably also popularized by Elon). So yeah, there have been some notable instances of divergence. One can only hope there will be more.

  • Oh really? I didn't know about that. Thanks! I meant they theoretically have full control over the app since they build the whole thing, rather than have it run in a browser environment which they can't control and could theoretically be altered with extensions etc. Seems they're not that great at controlling their own app either, lol

  • I know the main topic is ditching Spotify, but on the secondary topic of screwing over Spotify...

    I realized that you can "pirate" Spotify (i.e. listen indefinitely as if you had a paid account) if you have uBlock Origin on Edge. No setup needed, it just works. Most likely any Chromium-like browser will work.

    Unfortunately, I haven't got it to work with Zen browser which is Firefox based so I'm not sure if all Firefox based browsers are affected. The workaround I have for now is just have Edge open with Spotify in the background, and control it from the Spotify interface on Zen. Never download the app, they control that fully.

    Funnily enough, I also got ad-free Spotify play on Amazon Echo when I was controlling it from Edge, though I never tried with Zen because I don't use Echo anymore.

    PS: For audiophiles this is probably not gonna fly, as you don't have access to the highest bit rates iirc.

  • We Deserve Way, Way More Time Off

    Jump

  • To each their own, I suppose. I'm fine with people opting to work more, like maybe get a second job or something if they feel like they have too much time with nothing to do, but that's the thing: they should be able to choose. A shorter work week wouldn't impede someone like you, it would actually help you make more money by freeing up time for you to take on more projects. Think of it more as "my time, my choice".

  • We Deserve Way, Way More Time Off

  • Nah, I need to unload all the work stuff from my brain for a straight few days. If anything, I'd rather have 2x10h days since I tend to overflow the 8-9h anyway.

  • To add do your FFS:

    Aren't they also adding a proper Linux Terminal with the next Android? You do this but ban installing non-store apps? Make it make sense!

  • Glad someone's dreams actually have meaning. Mine make no sense and I forget most of them by the time I wake up. The best I can hope for is getting a few seconds of lucid dreaming where I can can fly around for a bit until the dream ends (whenever the lucid thing happens, the dream seems to fall apart and I have trouble keeping myself from waking up).

  • Well yeah, but they're also a problem on their own, in the same way metastasized cancer is a problem compared to early stages cancer. If that makes sense.

  • The effect Cenk had on the people at that conference backfired. Kirk played him like a fiddle and they only talked about common ground issues. To their audience it came off as "we're so right that even this leftist agrees with us".

  • They could be intentionally obtuse. Surely they're intentionally provocative, the question is whether this is because of ignorance or malice. My guess is it's something in between, where they're smart enough to know what they're doing but care more about the money. I mean they surely vetted the fascists they got on with Mehdi Hasan because most of those people are creators with content out there for all to see, so they knew exactly what views they were platforming and normalizing to a wide audience.

    I don't think they're ideologically fascist, but I do think they're evil, in the same way capitalists are evil: they always consciously choose their self-interest over accountability for the consequences of their actions (which they are well aware of). And if push comes to shove, they'd fight dirty (e.g. aligning with fascists and fascist narratives) to protect themselves from said accountability.
