All of these issues are from today.
Vscode release notes used to be exciting. Now it’s 70% ”Assistant” improvements. Then you finally get to the next chapter and it’s all like
Terminal
- Added terminal support for Assistant…

Yeah, I thought that, too. But to be fair, I can’t think of any missing feature.
Image gone 🤕 Did Microslop slopify VSCode?
The image isn't gone, that hosting server just flat out refuses connections from certain IPs. See if this works for you - https://i.imgur.com/ReCjF8k.jpeg. I've heard that Imgur is not accessible in the UK, but Lemmy doesn't let me upload it because it's "too tall".
Did Microslop slopify VSCode?
A long time ago.
Thanks. I had to use a VPN. No idea why it's banning my IP. There can't be too many people in this building using the fediverse.
Your screenshot failed. Half way through it starts repeating. See the worst tickets in there: "Stopped working".
Never had this issue with neovim :3
You might in the future. Both vim and neovim are accepting genAI code contributions. There's a vim-classic fork around, but it is "rolled back" to pre-vimscript9.
Kate has a LSP plugin.
VSCode
Found the issue
Helix is nice, speaking of which.
I tried switching 2 different times now from neovim (with Lazyvim), and I can't break the muscle memory. Neovim has become an IDE in the terminal for me, and it does more than I need it to
Helix for terminal has been fantastic; I like GUIs so for me Zed is my "S-Tier".
Yes, Zed allows you to turn off the Agentic LLM integration off in settings.json:
{
"disable_ai": true
}

I never once understood why people want to write code in a browser that isn't even the same instance as the one they likely already have open. I can't understand the mindset of a person who wants JavaScript to power the tools they use. Is it because they hate their hardware? Or the environment?
Because it's a well-made, useful, simple but extensible program? I really don't care if it's "a browser" (it's not, just part of one). And it being not just a tab in my existing browser lets it do critical IDE things like write files and open a terminal (and be easier to find and differentiate from my research, product management, and testing tabs).
I hate the environment, that's why I use vscode. After a long day outside, rolling coal on my 6x6 and littering out in nature, I come home and relax by turning on vscode and let it idle as I throw old tires in the fireplace. If you hate the environment like I do, use vscode.
IDE in general are not that good.
VSCode has a lot of of expansions, enabling a developer to stay in the same environment for any language they code in.
So if you have a multi-language setup, you can do everything in the same IDE.
I work with embedded firmware, and let me tell you that VSCode is miles ahead from manufacturer tools.
I personally don't use VSCode because microcontroller manufacturer tools usually come with a repeatable easy to install environment, so I can easily handoff the projects to my clients.
But if you ship code and don't have to ship the environment, VSCode is a good allrounder that can do pretty much anything.
With that said, use VSCodium instead. At least, it removes the analytics from the IDE.
I started with Visual Studio at work, and I just love VSCode by comparison, idk why but it feels so much easier to work with after I got the hang of it.
I never really used Visual Studio. The few times I had to, it felt like a bloated VSCode.
What do you use for web development?
You are ruining the velocity! How are they supposed to tell shareholders they're delivering faster than humans, if they keep getting bogged down with issues!? Everyone, stop opening issues!
showing off your 12k monitor, eh?
I thought that was a CVS receipt
VSC and CVS are anagrams of each other after all
Vscodium
Microslop without connections.
I checked out Lapce and I like it a lot, but I can't really live without my Jupyter Notebook extension 😕

You know, It's time I play with VSCodium again.
I used it for a long time but ended up having issues with the SSH plugin and the Python support that forced me to go back to regular VSCode. But that was so long ago they surely fixed it by now...
Just be aware MS did the MS thing of not permitting some plugins to work on non vscode installations like the corporate dicks they are.
true for eg MS' C++ extensions or copilot - they actively block installing and running it on codium, based on some internal "app name" config of the IDE.
there's a workaround for that though. install both codium and vsc, install extensions on vsc, symlink the ".vscode" folder to ". vscode-oss", and edit codium's app info json (forgot filename) to match vsc's (mainly the "app name").
last step needs to be done after each update, but can applied with a script, happy to share if anyone needs it. Just make sure the installed codium- and vsc versions match.
Well I don't feel the need to shoot myself in the foot enough to justify learning C++, but it's good to see that a work around exists.
it's fun for microcontrollers, for when you get bored with software and want to venture out into hardware
they do? i always just downloaded the .vsix file and installed manually that way.
i'm fairly certain there's also a patch to enable the marketplace properly on vscodium. i think i used it when i still used arch.
Not all addons allow you to download a vsix though.
