    Not the point, though. This is classic Microsoft. It’s Lucy with the football telling Charlie Brown she won’t pull the ball away this time. They seduce the devs to their tools or protocols by “cooperating” and “openness” and then they subvert whatever they joined so the devs are stuck in their ecosystem. A lot of them get away, but a lot stay behind or try to make it work. Every time, they trap a bunch. Maybe the way an Eden’s Whale feeds is a better analogy. I’m sure there’s a perfect analogy somewhere. Maybe I just like coming up with analogies.

      Seems related to glibc, considering they have backtracked a bit to allow VSCode to connect to unsupported OSs with glibc >= 2.2.8

      Might be related to the recent glibc vulnerability disclosure?
