I don’t see a single mention of VS Code in your post or the linked article. Why is it posted here?

Are the session cookies gone after reloading the page? If so, I’d guess that Librewolf is removing them. You might want to look for settings related to cookies and how long they persist

I absolutely understand not liking opt-out telemetry. Do people generally not like opt-in telemetry? Is this really why the community shifted to a different project?

What about nerdctl + containerd?

That would be great. I frequently have to click the link and navigate to a home page for a meaningful description. Here’s the opening statement from Koto’s README on GitHub.

Koto is a simple and expressive programming language, usable as an extension language for Rust applications, or as a standalone scripting language.

This is the first thing I need to read to understand if I should or should not care about the project and its new release.

Basically one of the founders, Andy, posted on twitter some praise of Donald Trump and the US Republicans party. I didn’t love but it wasn’t so exactly horrible IMO. But as people replied, Andy started answering via Proton’s official twitter account. And these were much worse.

Unfortunately, the original posts are now deleted. Even the discussions that I participated in here on Lemmy are now deleted. So it’s definitely hard to share much info. Here’s a copy/pasta of something from my inbox:

The worst part was not Andy’s initial posts it was his initial “let me correct the narrative” follow ups where he went on to bash Democrats and call the Republicans the party of the little guy, which is in many ways untruthful.

It’s just a really bad look overall. This is basically how it started with us finding out Musk was such a mess too.

Here’s Proton’s official response on Reddit, from 6 months ago. If you care to dig up more info, this should be a good starting point. Maybe the original posts are available on archive.org?

For my purposes, the event prompted me to learn a tad more about Proton’s finances. I discovered that the company donates to political parties in the US and elsewhere. IMO, this kind of thing gives people a good reason to care about this kind of “internet drama” because Proton uses its revenue to influence politics. I don’t know any details of how they do so, but this event made me question if I should continue using their services.

When A and B are for sale, then marketing and advertising definitely betray the 90% sometimes. The popular item is not always the best or even the best value

It’s true. I’m tempted to turn this into some wall art

Proton has made some statements about exiting Switzerland if these proposals become law. But who knows how long that would take and if any damage is done in the meantime.

Plus there’s other junk going on lately with Proton as a company…

Oh I forgot to mention this part. They have a free demo on Steam with ~1/3 of the playable content. That alone is great. The full game is reasonably priced too and they’re still rolling out content updates frequently

Backpack Battles! Fantastic little inventory management game with a load of replay value.

It looks safe to me in the sense that I don’t see any malicious code in here. I don’t think the committee is trying to sneak in security hopes or similar. So all good on from that perspective.

It’s a very simple helm chart which is consideration! Here’s the thing with charts. They’re meant to be an official means of distributing your app’s manifests for k8s. One package with all runtime needs defined. If the chart supports every tweak I need, then it’s great! If it doesn’t, then I need to modify it myself. This usually means forking the project, making edits, and templating from the fork. It’s a lot of overhead for end users. If the maintainer is willing, it’s so much easier to create an issue or submit a PR with the needed changes.

Your project has some stars and forks. People are likely using it. Grats! The helm chart doesn’t like meet everyone’s needs and I would expect this to spur some extra issues and PRs. Is that good or bad? That’s up to you!!

There are many reasons to use k8s. Managing multiple nodes is one good one. But more importantly, k8s gives you an api-driven runtime environment. It’s really not comparable to docker compose.

Yea I’m not a fan of helm either. In fact, I avoid charts when possible. But kustomize is great.

I feel the same way about docker compose. If it wasn’t already obvious, I’m biased in favor of k8s. I like and prefer that interface. But that’s just preference. If you like docker compose, great!

There’s one point where I do disagree however. There are scenarios where a local k8s cluster has a good and clear purpose. If your production environment runs on k8s, then it’s best to mirror that locally as much as possible. In fact, there are many apps that even require a k8s api to run. Plus, being able to destroy and rebuild your entire k8s cluster in 30s is wonderful for local testing.

Edit: typos

Honestly, k8s is super easy and very lightweight to run locally if you know the rights tools. There are a few good options but I prefer k3d. I can install Docker/k3d and also build a local cluster running in maybe 2 minutes. It’s excellent for local dev. Even good for production in some niche scenarios
