LSP is great. The thing about VSCode is dark patterns. VSCode is great, one sees that it's MIT licensed, downloads it uses it and is like wow nice. After a while realises that the official build is not FOSS licensed and contains telemetry code. So one finds 'VSCodium' which is a community port without telemetry. You carry on working but now remote things are not working. One looks why - the only reason is MS made it proprietary. Remote is essential for lots of developers. One feels f*cked by MS. Few years ago, Github's 'Atom' editor was getting popular. Then MS bought GH now Atom reduced to atoms - can't see it anywhere - though getting updated.

> LSP came from MS.

Thanks, today I learned.

Yeah anyone is free to create, same as anyone is free to create remote extensions for VSCodium. So far nobody seems to have done it. Even if somebody does it, it might not match the quality and features of MS extensions.

MS has a history of EEE. Jetbrains doesn't, and as far as I know they are no bullshit no dark patterns high quality.

I think I get what you are saying, it doesn't make sense at first. But it's quite a popular way of making sense of society, power etc

A quick search of 'Marion Gerald Hood Emory University rejection letter' will show how even in 1959, blacks were treated like scum.

There are ways to get an idea of the reality of black people. For those who are ok with videos, here are some good but enjoyable ones. You may use 'NewPipe' from fdroid or the youtube-dl command line utility to download them:

[4] How cops are trained to shoot you in your home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuzQrbio2Qw

Other resources include James Baldwin's books and documentaries. His 'The Fire Next Time' is just 120 pages [5].

'The Price of the Ticket' and 'I Am Not Your Negro' are good documentaries [6][7].

Idk what your first 2 paragraphs are saying. Poor children are malnourished, they don't get good medical care, violent household, violent environment, living in streets, many are in orphanages where they are exploited. It's clear that many children are poor even before they are born, as the mother needs nutrients and medical care etc to have a healthy child. All of these problems are outright eliminated for lots of kids of wealthy parents.

You should have disclosed that groupsapp is your app. How's it better than signal in terms of security other than not requiring phone number? How is the E2EE implemented? Is it open source?

I think the thing is that pylance is a python LSP. And it's proprietary. So they embraced python LSP, extends it so that the additions are proprietary. And pylance might become the defacto python LSP. Typical EEE. Python is hugely popular, it's everywhere - so even if one hates it, might end up having to use it.

Also the remote extensions are proprietary [1]. This has been discussed on HN before.

Well for what it's worth, here is something about VS Code LSP and embrace-extend-extinguish.

You nitpick, therefore you are not cool.
