Lots of stuff has been mentioned already... personally: 1. actually proper ID3 tag handling (at least way better than anything winamp ever had) 2. volume normalization 3. tree-style media library 4. better interface (I have come to detest custom interfaces... if you hear that spotify: you are the worst!) 5. _way_ better startup performance with my big library 6. mass tagger / mass mover (such a great feature to keep stuff organized)
Absolutely. Switched to foobar because it was so much more useful and less resource hungry. And I had a laptop with 240 MB ram back then, so that was really a concern.

Only if you tell it "hey please put this into this insanely insecure class that will fork a process". Serialize your shit into stupid DTOs and you are dandy. That has nothing to do with the API surface.
No, modern browsers are just pigs. The last browser engine that seemed to really care about resources was Presto which they sadly killed off. Presto w/ 50+ tabs was in the lower 100MB range, Chromium easily eats into the GBs there.
I try them regularly, but right now Opera has a bunch of convenience features that are lacking from vivaldi and that makes them still better to use for me. For instance, I use the video pop out thing _a lot_, and vivaldi has a weird bug that if you type to fast it does not properly auto-complete (eg. if I type "re" and hit enter very fast, it will search for "re", if I wait for maybe 1/10th of a second, it will have completed to "reddit.com" and open that).
That statement is obviously bullshit. It just forbids them from offering a different service (and price) to customers in formerly different markets. You can still have local sites all you want, you just can't charge double just because someone is in Germany or France for instance.
Riiight, because comparing "ed" to a full size IDE totally makes sense... Not to mention, the issue discussed here is a Blink/Chromium issue and got nothing at all to do with VSC.
That affect the vast majority of users. Proper working plug and play and mixing are _the_ most important customer features.

Pulseaudio has a shitload of advantages, from being able to target all kinds of sound backends (not just ALSA, but also OSS, JACK, other OSes), to being network transparent (so you could just broadcast audio to small IoT-Audio-Devices in your network), and also you can't get into shit like one program claiming exclusive rights, at which point you break all other audio (which in ALSA, while not encouraged, is always an option).

I also got a blacklist of idiots in the company that I defer to my colleagues.
small vendors live.
That Android phones are "years behind" because you have to use the Vendor's app to get all camera features? Srsly?
you know, where people don't get robbed on the steet at gunpoint and shit like that. Aka pretty much all of the civilized world other than the US.
Uhm, you are seriously telling me _anyone_ put any hopes into that buffoon, and especially climate experts? That is way ridiculous.

Easy to steal, not protected by any laws, cannot be changed should they be compromised. Worst system imaginable.
For real, just look at Eurovision ... _everyone_ talks in English except the French tard who gets called for the numbers.
Sounds like the 90s called. These days, composition is the new king.

One source of bloat at a time ...
more like until they run out of money and shut down the servers, which is probably in 5 years or so.
Take legal action and/or get laws passed to make the practice legal in itself.

Thanks captain obvious.
The reason for it is still the cursor blinking ... or rather: chromium sucking at doing keyframe animations.
> And it never used 13% of my cpu to flash a cursor.
Go blame Google. It's a chromium bug.
Riiight, because comparing "ed" to a full size IDE totally makes sense ... Not to mention, the issue discussed here is a Blink/Chromium issue and got nothing at all to do with VSC.
Except they aren't ... the cursor is purely a CSS animation ... just the blink engine majorly fucking up.
