Ubuntu really makes it hard to keep liking it. They keep pushing bullshit like snap.
I don't know about vim, but emacs does have a clippy package for real. You can even make it be useful if you try hard enough.
That almost makes me wanna switch but I enjoy fish too much....even if it's probably got issues above my level of use bc idk what I'm doing most of the time š

DELET THIS
Doesn't npm have this already? I've definitely gotten requests for donations and various political messages when installing dependencies.
I guess this highly depends on package maintainers, Node already provides funding in package.json for much less invasive funding requests (and that can also be disabled) and you might also block executing the scripts during package instalation which are sometimes used for advertisement.
I think this was a lot worse in days NPM didn't support funding, especially for projects depending on a huge number of dependencies. But I'm not that old Node/JS dev to tell how things were back then in reality.
Ew, I'll pass on node then.
That's the reason you pass on node? Compared to all the others?
It's the final straw.
People who know how to use a terminal know how to block ads
This is the beuty of FOSS. I can add them myself, whenever I want to.
You better delete this, fuck you!
In my free time I develop ways for advertisers to reach as many platforms as possible. I hate ads as much as I hate people who say things like "just skip it if you don't like them" so I spend my time trying to fill every inch of their lives with ads as possible.
I can get behind this flavour of evil. Keep doing satan's work, lad!
Why would you try to make the world a worse place just to spite people?
Since this week I get some form of ad in the github diff viewer. "Copilot is available for purchase for you organization". Horrible.
Yeah they've put them in a couple places, It's pretty bad. Had to work out how to create a custom uBlock Origin rule to block them.
there's a dismiss button under the hamburger menu right next to it, it removes all of these copilot ads permanently.

npm is waaaay ahead of you
Imagine: Ubuntu Pro.
Oh wait. they sold out already.
Kinda a shit take. Canonical is very generous with licensing. They give you 5 free personal licenses per account AND they license per physical host which is practically unheard of now. Like everything is per VM or container or CPUs or sockets etc now. One pro license on an ESXi host could have hundreds of VMs and Canonical is OK with that.
Source: I work with and use ubuntu pro. Canonical's alright in my book. More than I can say for the RHEL team
I agree with you! Canonical's licensing is the best in the business. I like and use Ubuntu pro at work and use it with my homelab. I just don't love the ads in the terminal.
Fuck, I kinda wanna make this (for the funny of course)
You mean, like on Ubuntu?

edit: fixed link
I was going to say, Iām surprised this isnāt a Windows 11 āfeatureā
cut them some slack, they can't put every annoyance into one version ... got to leave something for future "upgrades"
Maybe for the first time Ubuntu could get to sue them for infringing on their innovation.
Good lord, I hope no one employed at Microsoft reads this. I would bet they institute it if they think of it.
If you write !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world instead the link is usable for any instance.
