  • Ughhhh, you used to eat all the leaves with me, what's this "I want nectar" bullshit fad diet?

  • The joy cons are legitimately awful to use. The buttons are like needles after a while and the sticks just feel weird on my thumbs. What's weird is that the switch lite fixed both of those problems. (None of this is about drift lol which is awful and another problem)

    None of this is about switch 2. Idk anything about it.

    I guarantee you that's against YouTube's ad platform's TOS too.

  • foot the bill directly

    I WISH. I genuinely wish they'd let me bid on my own ad break. But they don't. It's either pay an insane monthly subscription fee or see ads. If you're letting advertisers bid on my time, let me! Let me offer to pay the .01 cents or whatever to not see an ad. But they won't do it. I'm a little surprised I don't see people talk about this being an alternative.

  • I never said MS is doing any of those things. I even linked their TOS to show you very clearly what they're doing and not doing.

    And MS has all the right to limit their marketplace to their own client too. After all, it is first and foremost, their service for their product specifically. It's like you're making an unofficial client for youtube.

    I never said they shouldn't "have the right", I said they're open-washing. They act like VS Code is open source but the build they distribute is not and a lot of the functionality they add in through recommended plugins are both not open source and you're not allowed to easily download them from other plugins. Everything about VS Code is fauxpen source to the max.

  • It also plays into [Microsoft's] goal to make VS Code seem open source while being the opposite! A lot of the functionality is in the marketplace but non Microsoft products aren't legally allowed to use it and you're not allowed to distribute builds of the plugins.

    My use of "their" may have been too ambiguous. I thought it was clear from the context that I was talking about Microsoft's program, marketplace, and plugins specifically. When you use VS Code with things like C it's like "hey, download this extension!" So from your perspective that's a thing VS Code can do, because it's so seamless and easy to add in. But what you don't realize is that you're downloading a proprietary, closed source extension. When you use VS Codium you can't (easily) get those extensions (without breaking Microsoft's terms of service). It's the same shit that Oracle pulls with their JDK distribution and a big part of why OpenJDK usage is much more common post 2019ish.

  • You are allowed wtf.

    No. If you're using something other than Visual Studio Code you have to manually download plugins and the MS specific ones use licenses like this.
