Por suerte solo uso #VSCodium para programación web y sin extensiones, ni siquiera para traducir la aplicación, pero con esto tengo claro que delegaré C y C++ en #GNOME Builder, IDE que ya uso para Rust. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz6XJDq8fSI

Microsoft subtracts C/C++ extension of VS Code from forks like VSCodium and Cursor:
https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/24/microsoft_vs_code_subtracts_cc_extension/
(Wonder how long it will take for them to deny access to the whole extension store at this point... I already considered looking for alternatives to VSCodium, but all alternatives either don't have split view or website preview feature (even with extensions), so it's not that easy for me to switch. But maybe I'll do a research again and see e.g. if Pulsar already has some Live Server replacement, or maybe a custom localhost solution independent from any code editor, will see.)
Indian court orders a ban on Proton Mail, because of some bad actors sharing deepfakes via the service:

(What a BS excuse to ban a service. Why don't just ban the whole Internet at this point because of some scumbags doing malicious stuff? But of course this was just an excuse to get rid of an encrypted service, this isn't the first time the Indian government does this, they already banned Proton VPN earlier.)

Anyone using vscodium? I can't use it to commit. Committing works from the command line. It works using vscode.
In vscodium I get a gpg: signing failed: pinentry error.
Is there a config that I've forgotten?

Slowly working on my #faircamp site, and slowly updating my website to point to it - very much a work in progress.
Today I pulled the latest #faircamp docker image thanks to @n3wjack for looking after that.
Spent quite a bit of time copy and pasting album text from #bandcamp for an album - Field Recordings Fo(u)r, using #vscodium to make mass editing the text a bit quicker. (liking how the .eno format is fairly #markdown like)
Quite a job, but getting there! https://music.theargentgrub.co.uk/field-recordings-fo-u-r/
For days I've been trying to find a solution to #VSCode / #VSCodium not adding the environment variable I added to the workspace… I literally tried every variation under the son, added it to any launch.json, settings.json and anything else I could find, but it just would. Not. Read it. And without it it won't find the Python modules if the conda venv.
Is there some magical thing I lack or is this program is plain awful?

So... I wanted to switch #LaTeX editing over to #VSCodium (installed via flatpak). Problem: flatpak VSCodium by default has no access to my global LaTeX install (makes sense).
Solution 1: install texlive latex sdk extension for flatpak. This works... almost. The extension lacks a few important packages like biber and is not actively maintained.
Solution 2: Enable to build using docker (Latex-workshop extension option) and put /app/bin/host-spawn docker as docker path.
