Spent the last two days compiling llama.cpp and dealing with all the asshole design bullshit due to the project devs using VS code to configure CMake. Same junk. Like if your project uses VS code, that shit is not open source. Excuses about VS codium are garbage. It doesn't work and is only a bait to make people incrementally flush their ethics. I'm stuck reading source to fix errors and configure packages. The documentation is just wrong in many areas and incomplete. I'd write up issues, but m$ tried to get me to use their shitty 2FA app and used no easy well documented open source alt to get me to leave GitHub because of more asshole designs. GitHub and VS code are Windows nonsense 2.0. I cringe at the idea of coming back to any professional space with the level of digital slavery and whoring that is normalized.
I thought VS was one of the few god m$ apps. What do you recommend as a script editor instead?
I'm using doom emacs and some neovim.
