I've been using #vscode for a long time now, both at work and in private. I remember switching to it felt weird and lightweight and it took me a bit to get used to. But ever since I've had the feeling on depending on #ms which I battled with "oh well it's #opensource so if ms ruins it, there will be forks".

Lately however they went all in #ai being the primary focus. That made me realise that sooner or later they are gonna gate keep with that "bonus AI features" that you can't get otherwise or you already pay for.
So I started looking for alternatives and initially landed on the #Zed text editor. That works great and is astonishingly fast!
But zed also started the same play as ms, put as many AI features as possible as a monetization strategy.

So when I found out that neovim also has mouse supprt, I finally got to setup #neovim via #lazyvim and I was pleasantly surprised how good it is. Even the supoort for #flutter is better the on zed. It's basically same as on the officially supported vscode! Looking forward to a new journey with #opensource

I started rebuilding my #flutter app in #expo and #reactNative and after three days of testing on the emulator I decided to make a local build of an apk. Turns out you need an expo account to do that! Thats totally unnecessary and is simply a #vendorLockIn #greed So I'm back or sticking with flutter, at least you get total control of your own work!

I can't believe it, but our company is finally switching to #playwright for #TestAutomation. It feels like I'm coming to the future or at least at the current age of technology. Makes me exited to do my job and I can't stop thinking about it even in my free time!

@protonprivacy@mastodon.social Since I'm a #ProtonMail user I was about to go all in on #Proton, but then #AI and #bitcoin happend and it makes you think again. That doesn't sound good at all. What is next #NFT That puts a bad taste, especially when it was about privacy in the first place

I've had arch & tumbleweed break on me before, but both lasted pretty long - in some cases up to 2 years. But lately, I kinda started reading more related forums, and man, there are scary (and sometimes stupid) things people do. So maybe it's a user problem after all which no distro is at fault for

I came to the realisation that #flutter is the better tech stack, but because of heavy #google involvement - #reactNative is the safest bet. So going forward with #MobileDevelopment I'll stick to #react and #typescript

So gaming has been one of my main hobbies since I was introduced to video games.
But recentl I've been feeling unsatisfactory or even mad after playing anything. I haven't been able to find something enjoyable even in my main games.

So I decided to try spending ny free time that sound interesting so I went with #mobile #development
After some trying of and a lot contemplating I went with #flutter
Even though every so often I am reminded of googles killing of own products, I feel like I made a good choice. Working with flutter is just enjoyable in contrast to web.

@marxjohnson@indieweb.social Oh well, here's hoping that it will be continued someday without being #enshitified

I've known #distrobox for quite a while and used it casually go get things on my system and liked it a lot. Well since I started doing #development in my free time I came to rely on this tool a lot! It gives me such freedom and ease of mind, I love it! Previously I would install #ArchLinux to get the newest dependencies & goodies. After a while I either mess things up or I switch stack, tech or something else, so I used to wipe all & install from scratch for the next "project". Now I just use #debian as a host and get all the sdk's, ide's and all stuff related in an arch container. Then export what I need.

So I just got familiar with #neovim thanks to #lazyvim But now nevom v. 0.12 was released and it brings breaking changes. If my research if correct, breaking changes happen kinda often, which I don't have time and energy to fight.

Seems like this will be my return to #zededitor Thankfully it has a toggle for turning off all #aiFeatures

At least it was just before I get my new #laptop so I won't have to waste time with setting up there!

I've been playing with #LMStudio for #localLLM with mediocre results. However #gemma4 really changed that. It's faster and is more capable then the other models I could try on my hardware. It has recent data and is able to use a fetch tool(among others) to get info on stuff it doesn't know! So I installed #ollama and now it runs even faster, to the point where delay(waiting) is not that noticeable. Since I am a lightweight user, I can see myself using it as mainly source.

@madcollector yes #vscodium is definitely an option. And you seem to be right, besides removing the telemetry, branding & marketplace it also doesn't have the AI features(which I didn't know)! I've used it in the past and it's fine, it just feels wrong. Like using chromium or adblock to fight against a constant barage of features that you don't want. But to be honest in the end it's just personal preference, the important thing is doing stuff - or getting things done. I just often fall into the trap of "improving things, just cause of some potential benefit later" :D

@kde_fangirl@social.linux.pizza I made two small apps, one for my fathers blog and one for me thats helps me manage the many daily/weekly/monthly reminders I make for myself. They are both online already. Making them in flutter was actually super enjoyable but I thought that google doesn't have the best record of keeping thing around and since I work woth typescript already it's a good idea to try out expo. I guess flutter also had the bonus of making desktop builds with ease. So I also made a linux version of my dads app for me. That lead to think, making one for windows would also be easy...well I was wrong. I spent 2 days fighting the tooling, fixing C builds, visual studio and whatnot..till I gave up.

@kde_fangirl@social.linux.pizza I'm far from being an expert but at least I also tried making a native android app as well. Google introduced jetpack compose a few years ago and it really improves things a lot! It's a much more modern approach that makes it easier to make apps. No more xml! But in comparison flutter feels easier. I also read that flutter hides or removes a lot of complexity. Starting is also super simple, get the sdk and do an "init" with an empty scafold that gives you a working "app" from where you can play and build up on. Since it has hot reload/refresh it shows changes the second you save. Due to that it often feel quicker to try design or ui changes in the code instead of making mock ups.
