Not everyone has the luxury of affording space for multiple ecosystems. Not everyone owns a house. Some live in small urban apartments and have to count every m² of shelf space. Printers, supplies and spare parts all add up. So the decision may be between one printer or nothing, and I can see why one might choose to go SLA first if they know exactly what they want up front.
So “[y]ou don't want a resin printer” may be true for you, or for most users, but certainly not true for everyone. It’s a question of personal preference.
Here’s a complete rundown of what happened—load-bearing parts first:
1. The Cursor Marketplace (never heard of this one, it’s possibly a custom marketplace hard-wired into Cursor, which is architecturally a VS Code fork?)
2. The Visual Studio marketplace, hard-wired into VS Code
3. Open VSX
If I understand this thread correctly, then #1 and #3 had compromised versions, and nobody has made a statement yet about the status of #2.
What market share proves is popularity. Which is important in an OS, but ridiculing other people's choices on grounds of market share doesn't seem very convincing to me.
What is your goalpost for a "serious OS"?
This is simplistic and almost certainly leads to overblocking.
Blocking a gambling domain sounds innocent on the surface but what if the gambling company publishes an article in their corporate blog to share how they solved a specific scaling problem or what money data modelling lessons they've learned?
It has happened to me more than once that I tried to read an article that was immediately relevant to my work but was denied access due to naive domain overblocking.
Please stop normalizing this shit.
I don’t see a download option. There used to be one, but they killed it two years ago or so.
And Amazon can still remove the book from your library anytime they want.
That's not too far from owning it.
