#vscodium — Public Fediverse posts

Welche IDEs empfehlt ihr als Ersatz für #Codium? Zed und Gram sind leider aufgrund des Rust-Ökosystems raus.

Peter Squicciarini released #VSCodium version 1.126.04524. https://vscodium.com/

Managed to get the #RaspberryPi #Pico extension working in #VsCodium. Top tip use the Apt install version not the Flatpak. Think there is something going on with the Path when using the debugger.

A feature I didn’t know existed in VS Codium saved my day! I was working on a untracked Git file (the zensical.toml configuration file) and accidentally, the whole file was overwritten and ctrl+z didn’t work. I thought my config was lost for good!

Luckily there’s a thing called “Local History”:

* Open command palette…

#vscodium #vscode #ide #undo

So, #vscode now tries to get screen sharing permissions directly at startup. I guess it's more a bug than a feature (I guess it's more a bug than a feature?)
Anyway, that was the last straw I needed to switch to #vscodium. Thanks microsoft (seriously).

Peter Squicciarini released #VSCodium version 1.121.03429. https://vscodium.com/

VSCodium - SCodium is a community-driven, freely-licensed binary distribution of Microsoft’s editor VS Code.

#vscodium #software #programming #ide #foss #opensource

Hey, #AskFedi I need your help finding an accessible, cross-platform text editor that isn't #VSCode. If you don't know any, please boost anyway. Thank you!

I've been using VSCode for years--I think seven by now. For the most part, I was, and still am, happy with it; if you don't like MS metrics, you can switch to #VSCodium and it's very accessible even for a #DeafBlind user completely reliant on refreshable Braille displays such as myself.

However...

Microsoft's, shall we say, enthusiastic embrace of AI is warping VS Code, and I worry where it'll end. In short, I don't want all my eggs in one basket.

Sadly, the landscape of accessible text editors and IDEs is, to my knowledge, still relatively barren; #SublimeText has been dragging its feet (rather: utterly refusing to walk) for over a decade. If you want to get angry, this thread is the most appalling thing I've read all month (1), and the linked GitHub issue doesn't give me any hope this'll ever be addressed.

Am I really at the mercy of the whims of Microsoft or doomed to use a less feature-rich, extensible editor as my #IDE ?

I hope not!

So, what do you recommend? #Accessibility #A11y #Blind #ScreenReader

Ugh trying to get #VSCodium to have a functioning integrated shell on #Bazzite without doing stuff to ostree seems impossible.

Maybe immutable #Linux isn't good for me.

Is there a #Gentoo based distro where Steam works as seamlessly?

oh sweet baby jesus there's finally a #vscode / #vscodium extension that chmod +x scripts on save if they start with a shebang.

I used a plugin for sublime text years ago that did this, but every time I checked there was no equivalent for vscode. looks like this was first published about 7 months ago

So DevContainers are really nice, but I'm a bit annoyed that we don't have a similar workflow for VSCodium due to proprietary bits from Microsoft

https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/discussions/1471

I know there's couple of workarounds and projects to make DevContainers possible in VSCodium but working with co-workers who are using VSCode will have a base image for a DevContainer that contains the proprietary vscode server and this breaks the whole idea of shareable environments.

*VSCodium (incognito VSCode), showing me MDN and Documentation when I pause over ANY element*

*Me, and old-school Web Designer, who doesn't need the army of crutches modern IDEs throw at you for fucking HTML+CSS, furiously disabling all of it in the settings*

🤬

I mean... seriously? I get it for programming languages, specially if you're coding complex things. But for HTML/CSS? C'mon...

#development #vscode #vscodium

#VSCodium peeps.

I have just moved to a new LAMPs web development platform using LMDE7. VSCodium won't allow me to directly edit the canonical directory (ie /var/www/html/whatever) but sends me into the tmpfs (/run/user/$USER/doc/xxxxx). This FUBARs git. Is there a setting that will allow me to edit files directly?

EDIT: Solved. It was an issue with flatpak. I installed the deb and it works fine now.

#Linux #WebDev #LMDE

Looks like the MS copilot junk has indeed invaded the #VSCodium ecosystem, as I suppose it would as the FOSS version of VSCode.

There seems to be a switch to turn it off at least, and it seems to come with that already disabled.

Fingers crossed that #VSCodium remains untainted by the AI vibecoding plague.

Doing an update of my stale #VSCodium app via #homeBrew. Haven't done much coding lately, sadly with so many things going on.

That hashtag likely brings up as many beer-brewing references as software package-manager mentions – as both are pretty squarely in the Mastodon-patron demographic. 🤣

What are the best alternatives to #VSCode right now for #Linux? I'm using #VSCodium and have seen some language-specific products, but is there anything #FOSS with support for multiple languages *with a GUI*? I would like to give gvim a chance, but I don't want to spend more time on my #IDE than the project I'm working on.

#LinuxMint #programming

Wondering about #SyntaxHighlighting in #VScodium:

Is #Perl’s #TemplateToolkit actually TT in HTML or HTML in TT? 🤔

See comment for example.

@SharpCheddarGoblin what about #Vscodium?
