Since when? Last time I looked the remote ssh plugin wasn't open source and refused to run on forks?

There is an open source reimplementation (or two?)

I thought I used this one:

https://github.com/xaberus/vscode-remote-oss

and everything just worked, though the directions on that page look complicated, so it might be the wrong project. It was in the store that ships with the open source build and was definitely open source.

It's slightly better now. I think they removed the onscreen keyboard and finally let you type your password directly.

But it's still bad.

Do you like radio buttons? I hope you like radio buttons.

Even if the thing that you're using for really, really shouldn't be a radio button.

If you want to use a distro then you accept the distro maintainers decisions on what's a dependency.

If you want to yolo it and let scripts run with root access from some random person, you can go use arch with the AUR

You can even buy them from Amazon. The cards don't have any sort of exposed code to scan when it gets sold to activate it like other gift cards. Nothing on them makes one identifiable from another until you scratch it off.

I was going to respond that most games from the PS3/360 era used p2p but I don't know about recent ones. But GTA5 was a PS3/360 game.

As a Debian user that wanted to use a cli tool only available from npm it was horrible trying to find some sane instructions that didn't assume intimate knowledge of node package structures.

I did eventually figure out I could just do `corepack pnpm setup` then install packages globally with pnpm.

As an owner of a Synology NAS, it's woefully behind on updates. The kernel is 4.4 and the docker version is probably two years old. Yes it works good for a beginner one system does all solution but you quickly out grow it.

One key element often overlooked but mentioned in the recent post from Fusion Auth is the Business Continuity aspect. If your provider suddenly shuts down but the product was open source and self hostable, you can pay someone else to keep it working while you work on a migration plan on your own timeline.

The more open the license, the more options available.

Also from a license negotiation perspective, gives the buying company the option to threaten to self-host and/or fork. Even if they never do (and I'm sure the source company is very careful to balance the value story), it can act as a ceiling for rate increases or other annoying business practices.

Why would a company ever open-source their product then? Giving up that complete leverage can be a selling point during the purchasing process, making buyers more comfortable that they won't be (completely) locked in, and be a net positive on revenue through faster sales.

People often like to point out that PowerShell is multi platform and runs on Linux. When I looked more into this a few years ago that was a very deceptive statement because while it runs on other platforms only the basic commands to make it work ran and about 80% of the functions were Windows only. Has any of this changed recently?

That is different in context to what was being asked though.
