Plus you can always just use clangd. Its what I've always used with every text editor that has LSP support.
This guide is pretty good, but I'll also explains the basics here.
You pay a provider for access to Usenet files, which you locate through an indexer, and download through a client such as nzbget.
Picking a provider is the most complicated part. The guide explains how to choose one and r/Usenet has a page in their wiki for good provider deals. I use NewsDemon and they've been fine.
Indexers are pretty much the same as torrent indexers, they can be free or paid, public or private. NZBGeek has been great for me, and AnimeTosho is nice if you want to download anime.
The download clients work similarly to torrent clients with the addition of configuring the connection to your provider. Whichever provider you choose will have instructions for connecting to it.
Downloads aren't peer-to-peer like torrents, so a VPN isnt as necessary, just make sure you pick a provider that doesnt keep logs. It also doesnt hurt to use one if you already pay for one and its not too slow.
One you've picked your provider and indexer, setting everything up is super easy.
Use Usenet instead, way faster downloads. Also lots of clients can stream torrents, so as long the torrent its being seeded well enough you can watch right away.
Worst case just go to one of the 100s of sites with free streams of basically every popular show and movie.
Thats all fair, I'm not trying to say their a better option for you or developers in general, just that they do offer features and benefits targeted at developers. I disagree with the idea that theyre only made for users with very simple needs.
Ive never run into any issues trying to build random projects or run random tools is distrobox, but I also haven't used it as a main development tool. I prefer Nix for that.
Those tools are definitely great too, they just don't offer the same purity because they dont handle external dependencies. Guaranteeing a reproducible build environment is something I find very valuable.
This was nothing more than a poorly executed joke from Proton. Some people are massively overreacting.
Its seriously absurd. I hate ads, but there's realistically not a better option to profit when providing free software and services like Mozilla is doing. Investing into ads that don't violate your privacy is a great decision. I don't know what the hell people want from them.
The first time I installed Vanguard, for the Valorant beta, it decided to disable my mouse and keyboard on each boot.
They said not just pop culture references, not zero pop culture references.
As the commenter stated, it is a copyright issue. Nvidia is not allowed to use this code in a proprietary driver.
How could stopping work on projects violate the gpl?
Seems odd that they mention Mastodon as a Twitter alternative in this article, but do not make any mention of the fact that Twitter is also rife with these problems, more so as they lose employees and therefore moderation capabilities. These problems have been around on Twitter for far longer, and not nearly enough has been done.
I havent used vscode in while but I do remember having a lot of issues with the Microsoft C++ plugin, especially in large projects. I switched to clangd very quickly.
