Full disclosure: Haven’t read the article yet.

Working in corporate IT, this most likely is targeted toward enterprise customers who either take a long time to roll out OS upgrades or can’t due to technical limitations within their environment. In those cases, paying the cost of extended support is more palatable to troubleshooting or rushing mass OS upgrades. This is a fairly common practice with enterprise software vendors.

Edit: Okay, just skimmed it. Looks like this is actually a new program for non-enterprise consumers, which is interesting. First I’ve heard of that.

I’m lucky in that my employer went the opposite direction. Downsizing our local office and just letting us all be 100% remote. We’re a geographically distributed group so it doesn’t make sense to enforce office requirements.

Wait. I can automate my meetings too? I dig it.

What makes that better is that VS Code is running on Electron, meaning it is running Chromium under the hood. Or at least part of it. Been a while since I read up on it so I can’t remember for certain.

I had to read that again as I thought it was someone telling that to Oracle, which would make WAY more sense.

So I’ve heard they’ve been making some controversial decisions as of late but I’m out of the loop. What happened?

Ah, that’s a good point. I was thinking specifically within Lemmy apps, and not so much across the board.

I was just thinking that needs to become a feature. More technically minded folks could easily update the link on their own to plug into their Lemmy instance to subscribe, but for new users that could prove cumbersome.

I wonder if the functionality could be brought directly into clients.

Well I didn’t wake up today expecting to watch a video about task manager, but here I am.

I hate how long it took me to get this, but I love it.
