      And I had to stop using vscode because of its ridiculous resource usage. I got tired of it filling up my home dir and just went back to vim.

      An intern was using it, but I saw that he had set it up to run locally and connect to the ETX we were using and figured he had found a way to avoid that. Nope, turns out it runs a server on the ETX that also likes to fill up the home dir and he also just uses vim now.

      Seconded. The only reason I have it installed is because my buddy refuses to answer his cell while we play games.

        You want to… be on the phone for video game chat?

        I cannot fathom this mindset.

          I’d rather do a phone call on speakerphone while playing games…yes. I don’t wear headphones unless they’re wireless and I only put in one ear.

            So like… do you play the game with no sound? Does your gaming partner hear everything coming through your speakers into your phone’s microphone?

            I’m just struggling to understand how that could be a good experience for anyone, including you. Am I just missing something?

            Edit: oh, I missed the wireless earphone on one side thing. Is that for your phone or for the game?

              Headphone would be for the phone. And background noise cancellation is perfect now days so it’s not an issue with speakers playing at a reasonable level

                Interesting. Can’t say that would ever work for my circumstances, but I at least get where you’re coming from a bit better. Thanks!

      I’m not saying it’s phenomenal but it’s generally pretty well featured, running in a browser it’s not that heavy resource wise and the API/developer features are very good
