Maybe create a plugin for Visual Studio, like GitHub does. Also try to work with JetBrains to make their GitHub plugin work with GitLab? The GitHub plugin is available during installation, both with Visual Studio and JetBrains products, which makes it much more convenient to use. Things like creating a gist from code in IntelliJ or PyCharm also work out of the box with github.


We're exploring the VisualStudio option but as Job said we currently don't have the knowledge to make that happen. I've logged an issue for this request https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/20686 you can back it and follow it there.

As for JetBrains, we discussed this option with them - it would help if you create an issue for that on their platform as a user request to surface it. The more demand their users will have for this request the more likely it is to happen.


We're looking into both options, but don't have internal knowledge or capacity to build this ourselves at the moment.

There are some plugins listed here [0], but we hope to have official plugins in the future.

Everywhere I see lots of praise for ESET, but the program isn't even capable of installing itself properly on my system. If I then try to uninstall it it can't even do that and I have to go into safe mode to uninstall it from there, using their uninstall tool, which thankfully worked.


You don't have to discard it each time. You can just have it revert to a snapshot whenever the VM is rebooted.


They just increased them. You now need 2GB for the 32-bit version of Win10, iirc. That's the only change, though.


What would someone with 2GB memory do with a computer? State at the desktop? Once you start opening tabs, Firefox and Chrome can easily take up 4GB memory if available.


If available. If not, you'll quickly learn to not open 50 tabs (it's not like you're actually browsing in all of them). Had to work on such a PC out of necessity, and :5 tabs should be enough for everyone" ;)

But seriously: 2 GB on Windows (7) is still usable, even though not entirely comfortable. (Of course, on LXLE, 2 GB is a lot, but that's an entirely different can of worms)


Isn't it only 1.5GB that'd be left for user apps? I seem to recall 32-bit windows only had 3.5GB total accessible for some reason.


32bits can only address max 4gb ram and I think video ram was counted for or some other overhead. With 2gb the 32bit maximum should have no effect.


You could inspect the packets yourself to see that they are encrypted.


skype is encrypted too, and backdoored. don't forget whatsapp is owned by facebook.


how do i know they aren't sending the chat log in a side channel, encrypted?


It's worse to use an encrypted but potentially compromised channel than a plain text one only when you assume the encryption is not in fact compromised, which you shouldn't do.

So I fail to see the problem. It still likely protects you from nosy neighbors or nasty non tech savvy competitors, even if it doesn't protect you from state level actors or from Facebook itself.

The above, in addition to the fact that open source is neither required for auditing, nor guarantees proper auditing occurring (see OpenSSL having vulnerabilities for years before anybody released them to the public)


VS is much faster than the JetBrains IDE without any plug ins. Adding JetBrains' products makes it slow.


I know this isn't good feedback and I'm sorry for it, but when I tried using GitLab for a group project in school I had some trouble adding everybody to the repository and then letting them pull through the GitHub client. In the end I had to switch to using GitHub for that project, because the others got impatient and it was hard to even convince them of using git at all. Maybe it's just me, but it'd be nice if you could make that experience easier and would maybe offer a client of your own with really basic features for not-so-technical people to use.


I'm sorry to hear that. Why was it hard adding people to the repository?


You should try Visual Assist (http://wholetomato.com/) in case you haven't heard of it.
