      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.

    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.

      That’s probably cause you or your packages use CoreJS. It’s basically a one man project that’s holding up the whole modern Internet infrastructure. You can look up the story online, but it was a pretty small donation request for a really relatable individual.

    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.

      Damn, and people complain about Windows …

      I bet if they could have added pictures to this ad, they would have.

        You haven’t seen the best part yet. They’re holding back security updates, if you don’t do this whole Pro-shit. I really don’t know how much pot their executives smoked to get that awful idea.

        And like, to be fair, for personal use, you can get Pro for free, so you ‘just’ need to create an account to get a secure OS.

        But yeah, you basically don’t really hear people complaining, because we simply don’t use Ubuntu. Plenty better Linux distros to choose from. I only know this shit, because my work laptop unfortunately comes with it and I’m not necessarily allowed to change it.

          Security updates for packages that are so old that they aged out of official support.
          Who determines how old a package needs to be before they start charging money for it?
          Well they do, of course.

          Tune in next year when they turn off free Snap patches.

      I replied this to someone else gonna put it here:

      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
