So much for people saying Threads won't support Fediverse integration. I've been dogfooding the feature since before the service launched and the team has 100% been planning to support interoperability with Mastodon from day one.
Kudos to all the folks on the Threads team who've been working on this. So glad to see this test announced before the end of the year.

The "effective altruism" and "effective accelerationism" ideologies that have been cropping up in AI debates are just a thin veneer over the typical blend of Silicon Valley techno-utopianism, inflated egos, and greed. Let's try something else.

@halfbit_ @trexplex Visual Studio Code is a Microsoft-proprietary variant of the "Code - OSS" project, governed by a restrictive EULA which you can read at https://code.visualstudio.com/License/ . Only the proprietary build is permitted to access the Marketplace to download extensions, per the Marketplace's terms of use, which you can read at https://cdn.vsassets.io/v/M190_20210811.1/_content/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-Marketplace-Terms-of-Use.pdf (see points b and f). Further, Microsoft itself makes many partially-proprietary extensions, such as Pylance and OmniSharp, which you are explicitly or implicitly forbidden to use with non-Microsoft builds.
VSCodium is an actually-FOSS variant of "Code - OSS", but, again, almost nobody uses it because of the above barriers Microsoft has put up. Also, language servers aren't "for" VS Code. The protocol started there, but since it's (really) open, many other editors have added support, or have extensions that implement it.
"These internet-scale services operate at an unfathomable scale that almost no one else can even comprehend. But yet still they are diluted or even sucked into thinking "We need the same tools.", "We need the same flexibility.", "We need the same very thinly sliced onion.", because we are also kind of that. No, you are not. You are just not. You can get by with so much less complexity."
