You're trying to make it sound like the only options are buying super glue from amazon, or never see your kids. You are trying to paint a dramatic picture of reality that isn't true just to justify your lazy lifestyle. I never said I didn't have to make choices, on the contrary. Every day I have to make choices.

There's easy choices, hard choices and impossible choices. I don't own a car, because I live in a place with good public transit and safe bike infra, so I wouldn't stick it to someone who owns a car because they need it. I don't keep a lawn, that's stupid. Can't remember last time I took a bath at home, no. It's literally impossible to know the origin of most electronics you buy, but I rarely buy them and usually buy second hand. My electricity provider produces only renewable. I try to make better small choices along the way. I'm in no way perfect.

These are things that fit my lifestyle. Some are things you probably can't do, and that's fine. But not buying from the worst online shop in the world is one of the lowest hanging fruits. But sure, continue lying to yourself that personal change isn't necessary. We're not in a hurry.

"I am unwilling to do even the least of changes to my lifestyle to improve life on earth" is not the flex you think it is. It's honestly sad.

I've no idea. I haven't used it single college.

VS Code is an electron app, mostly likely coded by some flavour of Javascript developers, so I doubt it was ever planned to go in the same direction as Visual Studio. VS Code follows a design very close to what Sublime made popular.

You can get big fines if you don't comply with sanctions though. And in the end Linux is an American foundation.

Linus was still an ass, though. All this drama is 100% his fault.

And the most dangerous part here is the whole rethoric of "if you disagree, you are a Russian shill".

Linus has never been the best communicator, but he usually speaks the truth. But this is just bonkers and wrong. Not everyone living in Russia has "ties with Russia" other than "they were born there". If this is about sanctions, he could have still just told them that. But instead he just disrespected contributors completely and then double down in it by being xenophobic.

Yes, but this action sounds as effective against Russian espionage as burning any clothes that has red blue and white in them.

I try to avoid using Elon as a role model.
