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.
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 1 week ago:
This happened quite often for various UI settings etc. Often there were technical reasons for removing the option (e.g. rewrites), but it is a real thing.

I mean… I’ve played plenty of 3rd person games with a 100% player controlled camera, where the camera absolutely sucked. There’s much, much more to a good camera.

Still less weird than all those bourgeois that call everything by the brand name.
“Ooh, but it’s a different chemical compound, look at me, I’m so important!” I DON’T CARE! If it’s a powder and it’s white, it gets the same name as everything else.

An important part is to make sure all the innards you don’t use find their way back into the water. While the shells can be useful, the innards are absolutely vital to many species.
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 4 weeks ago:
I love the way they handled this in Doom Eternal - 6 out of your 7 basic weapons are matched in pairs, so you have 4 ammo types, but very low max ammo count for all of them. Instead you can pretty easily refill your ammo every ~20 seconds (using your chainsaw on an enemy drops ammo, and your chainsaw regens one fuel every ~20 seconds).
This means you never have an incentive to use weak weapons, EXCEPT for if you’re waiting for your fuel to regen. What makes it work is that your “weak weapons” changes depending on the enemies, as every enemy has at least one weakpoint for one of your weapons.
So instead of making you play cautiously and conservatively, Eternal wants you to always use your best weapons and to aggressively push forward. This type of gameplay isn’t for everyone, but as someone who usually ends their games with almost all items because “I might need them later!”, Eternal really allowed me to just have fun with all the best stuff it has to offer.

Nazis were efficient; that was literally the point.
No, they weren’t particularly efficient. In many cases they were bumbling idiots that got really, really lucky - just like the current US administration.

- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 1 month ago:
I switched to LibreWolf when the privacy policy fiasco happened a while ago. It’s funny how every few weeks Mozilla manages to demonstrate why I won’t switch back.
The new CEO has also already lost me with this gem:
He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission.
Even taking the statement at face value, it’s unacceptable for it to just “feel off-mission”. It should be a clear “no, never” instead of some wishy-washy answer.
But reading between the lines, such a statement is not just an off-the-cuff remark, but at best a threat to their users, and at worst a way to gauge the blowback of such a decision. They must have already taken it seriously enough to come up with the $150 million.
If I had to put up a number, I’d guess there’s a 25+% chance that Firefox will drop Manifest V2 in the next few years.
