> GitHub and VS Code

It's impressive how these Microsoft-owned products became fundamental to my daily software needs. I know I have to find better alternatives, move to using Codeberg/Forgejo, Spacemacs/Neovim..

And programming languages? I like TypeScript, and Microsoft has been a good steward of the project. Similarly with Go and Google. I also rely on VC-funded language runtimes, frameworks, libraries. That's a risk I sometimes question. Ideally I would shift to using FOSS altogether, the whole stack top to bottom.

Even the hardware I'd prefer "open source" if possible.

Using Typescript is not the same as using VS Code.

One is an actual open source free software project. The other is spyware cosplay open source.
