I also couldn't find sources to care to respond to him but I remember about some little terminal app which FOSS code was basically stolen by MS from the indie dev and then he was gaslighted about it. I can't find the source in reddit thanks to the going dark thing now lmao. Can't find it now, so maybe I hallucinated it better than some fine LLM's

If anyone else remembers this incident and can link to a source that'd be great for my sanity.

Maybe similar to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17214257

I do have a love-hate relationship with MS, but I don't love the fact that they own 80% of my stack (Yes, I know, my choice) between TypeScript, VSCode, NPM, Github, etc..

Also on VSCodium, it only fixes the telemetry bullshit, the custom LSP Plugins that microsoft keeps for themselves or whatever are not available there. so If you want to use for example copilot or other -microsoft official- plugins you can't do so on VSCodium

Also let's add the whole Github Copilot WhiteWashing non-FOSS proprietary code into anyone to steal. Basically breaking the current status quo in favour of the megacorps that can steal it all and respect no licenses
