I don't fully agree with all that's in the article "Open source is neither a community nor a democracy", but I think its good if in general there was better distinguishment between i.e. "The Work" vs. FOSS creators i.e. "the workers". Too often when we say "FOSS" we implicitly refer to some imaginary homogenous culture, and derive expectations on the moral/ethical behavior in a "community" that doesn't actually exist.

@smallcircles I somewhat disagree with the whole premise that "community implies that we're all participating on some degree of equal footing", seems like a strawman to me (or maybe large parts of the world do understand it in that way, but I think he extrapolates entitled users too much). The rest of the post has indeed some good points. I 100 % agree with your 1-toot summary.

Hmm, interesting.

IDE is out of beta, and is a vendor-neutral truly open-source alternative to .

@kien yes, I am familiar with that article.

Good thing is that Theia is not a fork of VSCode in the same way that VSCodium is. It is its own IDE from the ground up, but reusing some (OSS) parts from VSCode. While they implemented the VSCode extension API they also implemented their own extension mechanism and aren't dependent on MS marketplace.

I dunno if Theia is good alternative for all uses, esp. if one is programming for .NET it may not be. I think I'll give it a try.

@smallcircles Yup agree with that. Open VSX is a nice solution and I'd love to see it gain traction. I might give it another try too. Used to use Theia a few years ago as an online/remote ide which worked fine but then I stopped when vscode had remote development.

The future of history: Second Interbellum? :blobhyperthink: hope not.

> Yet the whole thing was simply painful to watch, mostly because it was useless on any practical level. This much ballyhooed confrontation between two political foes for the most important office in the world turned out to be featherlight on substance, policy, interest, intellect, imagination, vision, energy, ideas, humor and hope. It was heavy on one thing (besides cringe), though: ego.

Im Westen nichts Neues as the Israeli guns brutally shred more civilian flesh.

Meanwhile the Dutch are relieved that the horrible cold spring days are coming to an end, with summer temperatures predicted from Sunday.
