VSCode Marketplace Extensions Installer for VSCodium-based IDEs

I recently published a new extension for installing VSIX extensions from the VSCode Marketplace straight from any VSCodium based IDE that uses open-vsx.org for the extensions marketplace. Bear in mind that extensions like “ms-vscode.cpptools” won’t work anyway, since they are proprietary binaries that only work on MS VSCode. Other than that, any extension that is in the VSCode marketplace but not in open-vsx will be available for download.

You can find the extension from the extensions manager under “VSCode Marketplace Extensions Installer” or download the VSX file from open-vsx.org/extension/cooligu…

This extension is still very new, so expect some bugs here and there (especially when making very generic queries like “theme” instead of being specific like “One Dark”).

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

"Even before the AI boom, water industry professionals worried about the massive amounts of water data centers required for cooling and how that demand impacts water scarcity issues worldwide. The rise of AI is now making this worse. But the problem goes well beyond just consuming water for cooling. Challenges associated with wastewater, chip manufacturing, and even efforts to produce cleaner energy are all exacerbating AI’s water consumption problem."

AI's Water Problem Is Worse Than You Think (But It Doesn't Have To Be)

Cooling tech used in data centers are producing wastewater contaminated with dust, chemicals, and minerals. Chip manufacturing also generates wastewater, including heavy metals. This wastewater is toxic to the environment and can be difficult for municipal wastewater plants to treat and remove. Mining precious metals and rare earth elements required for semiconductors and other AI hardware also consumes and pollutes water resources.

First asteroid sightings push Hera’s camera to the limit


image

Asteroid (18805) Kellyday

ESA’s Hera mission has captured images of asteroids (1126) Otero and (18805) Kellyday. Though distant and faint, the early observations serve as both a successful instrument test and a demonstration of agile spacecraft operations that could prove useful for planetary defence.

Hera is currently travelling through space on its way to a binary asteroid system. In 2022, NASA’s DART spacecraft impacted the asteroid Dimorphos, changing its orbit around the larger asteroid Didymos. Now, Hera is returning to the system to help turn asteroid deflection into a reliable technique for planetary defence.

In a detailed social media post on Tuesday, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett warned that "Israel’s" standing in the United States “has never been so bad” and that it is increasingly viewed as a “leper state.”

He noted that “the Democratic party hasn’t been with us for some time” and added, “we’re also losing the Republican party, whose support for Israel could once be counted on,” while crediting US President Donald Trump with maintaining support for "Israel" during his term.

“Even those who have been our friends are having a hard time defending the State of Israel,” Bennett wrote, adding that “Israel is being seen more and more as a liability and burden on the USA and Americans.”

Bennett attributed the worsening situation to the current Israeli government, which he has long criticized. He accused it of pursuing a chaotic and self-defeating foreign policy and claimed it is causing “terrible damage” while still failing to grasp “the magnitude of the disaster.”

@GossiTheDog the biggest cooperations take bad decisions, with perhaps IBM in WWII as a similar example...

In the platform economy, it's hard to stay clean from others running software for purposes you would not agree with. But, taking on as a client the army of a country that is suspected of war crimes and has been summoned to stand trial at international court, that would be easy to avoid.

By choosing to take on these huge contracts, M$ has become a player in modern arms industry.

Let's not forget they killed the supposed "shooter" too over that. Someone died that day. Someone that was probably approached by someone in the Trump campaign and offered money if he'd go up onto a roof and aim an air rifile at Trump and pull the trigger. Someone who was probably told don't worry you'll be fine. That he'll be okay. Ignore the fact that he was a stupid son-of-a-bitch. But he still died that day. And Trump didn't. Because there was no bullet. It was all special effects. ---

This is just sensationally bad: Microsoft struck a deal with the Israeli secret intelligence arm Unit 8200 that allowed it to build a powerful new mass surveillance tool that collects and stores recordings of millions of mobile phone calls made each day by Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Que dites-vous aux jeunes de 20 ans aujourd’hui ?

Qu’ils doivent s’impliquer dans les luttes, surtout s’ils sont en France. Le processus de fascisation est en cours. Ce n’est pas une petite affaire. Il s’insinue partout y compris dans les lois. Si la jeunesse refuse d’aller voter, c’est parce qu’elle est dégoûtée de ces dirigeants politiques. Si la jeunesse, les prolétaires, les masses populaires, les déclassés, les précaires ne s’organisent pas, la fascisation va devenir la norme.

Linux works with virtually every programming language. Whether you're working with PHP, Javascript, C or C++, C#, Ruby, Python, Java, you can write, and execute almost anything. The real advantage is how you can setup and install all you need to start working with any of these languages.

Linux distributions have package managers built-in, and these give you access to anything you need to write in these languages. You don't need to install a package manager yourself, or hunt for installers to download, and then for the extra libraries and modules you might need. You can install all of them in one fell swoop, either graphically, or with one single command line, which makes it way faster to get started than on any other operating system.

And this ease of access and installation means that it's also way easier to write documentation and guides to help other people collaborate on your project, and setting up their development environment so they can get started as fast as possible.

You could also just write a bash script, so anyone who starts working on the project can just run that script, and get setup automatically.

For web development, using Linux is also a no brainer. The vast majority of servers you website or webapp will run on in production is using a Linux distro.

When you're coding your website using Linux, the way you're setting up your environment, the way you interact with your system, they're all extremely similar to the OS the website or webapp will actually run on.

Next thing is the command line utilities. Out of the box, these are simply better on Linux than on Windows, or even on macOS, if you haven't installed something like homebrew and all the tools you want to use.

Linux also has built in support for SSH.

Now, this isn't necessarily an advantage of Linux over WIndows or macOS, but it's a solid point nonetheless: most IDEs you'd want to use are on Linux. You get access to all the big ones: VS Code, Android Studio, Eclipse, IntelliJ, Zend, PHStorm, all text editors you might like, the only big one missing might be XCode, which is just on macOS.

Linux also has very high availability. Most distributions are completely free of charge. Linux works beautifully in virtual machines, something that can't be said of Windows 11, which might require a trip to the registry to bypass the TPM checks and locks MS put in place, or of macOS, which doesn't just install in a VM.

Linux is also available through WSL, so you can still use bash, and a lot of Linux programs and tools, including graphical ones, on an OS you might be more familiar with, namely, Windows.

Linux offers choice. Whatever language you want to use, on whatever device, there's a distro optimized for that. And Linux is the only OS that lets you do that with your desktop experience as well. From the choice of desktop environment, to the customization available with themes, extensions, widgets, docks, panels, tiling window managers, and more, you WILL have the exact working environment you prefer, or you'll build one that suits you.

Linux also won't force you to update in the middle of your work, and it won't nag you with ads in its menu or default apps, something that can't be said of other operating systems. It also won't make your hardware obsolete by denying it access to the latest OS upgrade.
