It costs a holiday and a nice dinner to make the SCOTUS say "um, ackchually, the constitution doesn't say anything about access to the internet".

If only there were modern day examples like Russia, Hungary, and even the US; or historical examples like Nazi Germany, to show where this "what about the children" excuse could lead us to...

Likely it'll use the cloud for processing, you'll just get really hard-to-opt-out AI features, like "prompt by default" and "AI autocomplete", which you can only "snooze" as they'll automatically be turned back on the moment there's a "great new feature", like putting a filter on by default on image generators to fool the eye that it's made by real artists.

I personally use RemedyBG + Kate + langservers (I might even make my own), which is actually better than VS.

Also at least one of the songs featured promotes irredentism, which is still very controversial even after decades of pushing the Overton window to the far-right.

I'm a developer, and I can't just skip Windows support, also the "GUI" for debuggers on Linux aee pretty much just separate terminals for gdb, and often I can't just jank my way out with printf() from various issues.

Centrism just got appropriated by the far-right, to push the overton window to the right, that's all. Got a few actually centrist friends, they repeatedly get called "radical communists" for wanting to tax the rich.

Transgender health care goes back much further than 35 years. It's just propagandists love to make it seem like John Money invented "transgenderism". You know why? Look at his name. You were supposed to tie it to Judaism (even if he wasn't Jewish himself), and then move on to antisemitism as well, not stop at "reasonable demands of trying to treat rapid onset gender dysphoria, with proper science" (the "proper science" is done by "secular wings" of church organizations, who want more believers), and "protecting women's rights from men" (if you thought gender segregation was to protect women from sexual predators, then I have a bridge to sell you).

They now thinking about repealing hate speech laws to please JD Vance.
