VS Code for Linux may be secretly hoarding trashed files

  Friendly reminder that VSCodium exists, and nobody should be using Microslop’s spyware version anyway.

    Friendly reminder, that Emacs exists.

      Hostile reminder that vi exists.

    VSCodium would have the same Electron caching issues though, wouldn’t it?

      That’d be relevant if it were the issue and not specifically snap related.

    Been using zed lately. Pretty similar ui, wildly different performance.

      I’ve been using sed recently to edit my lines. Quite cumbersome but it gets the work done.

    The only difference really is the occasional extension that needs a manual install.

    I’ve been trying out VSIX Manager for my extensions so that I can keep track of which ones I want to install on each machine. This can make it easier to install the weird extensions that you can’t install otherwise

      Not the only downside - some MS developed extensions, e.g. their Python integration, have to be patched to work with VSCodium: github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/discussions/1641

      Yeah, they really added DRM.

      Well, that and the lack of telemetry and “phoning home” to Redmond. And that’s a big one.

    I tried open vss I think it’s called on arch and I have trouble using it to remotely access configs on my home server via the SSH extension. I got fed up with it and installed the MS version from yay. I resent it but it works.

      I think the open version might not have the ms extension store configured. There should be a separate AUR package for that. At least there is for VSCodium. Alternately you can just grab the VSIX for the extensions you want from the MS version and install them on the open one. Personally I don’t know what open vss is so I use codium.

    Arent a lot of extensions incompatible by design? Some closed part of vscode needed for full functionality.

  It’s a snap problem, not actually a VS Code issue. Just another reason why snap is bad.

  • SirHaxalot@nord.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I like that the article excerpt clearly says that it’s simply about files not being removed when the trash bin is emptied, and it’s a problem specific to the Canonical snap system.. Yet every single other comment in here rants about Microsoft spyware. Not many people read beyond the headline, lol.

    • AbidanYre@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      So you’re saying it’s Canonical spyware?

  Funny how it’s only a problem when using the Snap distribution.

    The flatpack version is slow and crashy AF.

      Can’t we just go back to native installs?

  My favorite fun fact about VSCode is it stores all its cache files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

  • deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Yay, it uses the XDG dirs… Wait, no, not like that.

  Microsoft managing to make even their Linux software not achieve basic functions like…deleting files.

    It’s a snaps issue. Guessing you didn’t read past the headline.

  If you are on Linux, use a real editor like Vim or Emacs and not… THAT
