which is not what #Microsoft is doing.

MS tries to lock people into their own proprietary formats.

People can't switch away from it easily - ramped up switching costs.

Pure monopolistic practices.

@itsfoss just published an article for April Fools' Day.

It's really one of the better April Fools' pranks I've ever come across. It's grounded and almost believable that it actually had me there for a minute! 😂

Good one, guys!

Most people following probably know some of this.

For the rest of us, @itsfoss has a great break down and more detailed look, at the differences between VS-Code and VS-Codium.

In basic, both are free and open source. However, Microsoft owns VS-Code, which has telemetry elements enabled by default and contains some non-open bits.

Ganz genau... wenn jede Implementation beliebig von der Empfehlung (Recommendation) abweicht, kann man sich ein Standardprotokoll auch sparen... 😉

Ernsthaft, beliebig neue Felder zu nutzen, mag vereinzelt 'ne nette Idee sein, bringt aber zwangsläufig Probleme in der Kommunikation mit sich...

Vergleiche mal die Art, wie #Microsoft & Co. z.B. den E-Mail-Standard unterlaufen... 🙁

#Microsoft gives unexpected tutorial on how to install #Linux
You may need it – #Windows10 is no longer a free upgrade
