  • I found it kinda funny that enabling the marketplace in VSCodium was your example here, given how much of a vector for malware that is itself. It’s malware all the way down.

    You can download .vsix extensions from the marketplace and import them into VSCodium manually just FYI. And it won’t auto update so it will save you next time a supply chain attack inevitably hits and starts infecting new versions. Assuming the downloaded version isn’t infected in the first place of course.



  • The number of times I’ve told my work laptop to shut down on Friday, and found it still running on Monday is too damn high. And it’s usually because I had two instances of VSCode running, and when they got closed they both tried to run an update, and the setup processes interfered with each other. The resulting dialog window prevents shutdown.

    Every workday using Windows is just further validation for running Linux on my own hardware.





  • I was watching live when Trump called in, and the astronauts were clearly trying to emphasize the benefits of diversity and co-operation, and I’m quite sure none of that sunk in. Trump was too busy mispronouncing names, not knowing the difference between the name of the mission and the name of the craft, big noting his own role in funding NASA (while his administration has been actively attacking NASA) and generally waffling on because he likes to listen to himself speak.

    The next call after that also had the NASA director comment something like “I’m sure this call won’t be as special as that last one” whereupon commander Wiseman burst out laughing so I’m pretty confident those involved in the mission are not in Trump’s camp. Which is to be expected, because their jobs require them to be humans with functioning brains.
