I'm not following. Every release has their release notes, where's this idea coming from that a feature and its release notes will be split apart?

I'm not so sure, I pointed out my reservations here:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/300108#issuecomment-4027927310

weekly stable releases now, good

The suits won't let 'em.

Why don’t they work on useful things?

Empty release, no features

Can we give it ears instead so it'll hear us when we tell it to fuck off?

I guess I’ll take another look in there. The instructions for turning off Copilot on stack overflow keep needing updates, so I wonder if I’ll even find the same settings you’d looked it.

I’m in a game of cat and mouse with Microsoft, but - like I said below - I don’t want to switch to a fork at work.

I’m using Helix at home, but I need to be able to collaborate with people with different priorities at work without starting with “it’s similar to Vim, but it’s built in Rust.” It’s important to me to be able to recommend extensions and everything.

uuh, I see Zed's been available for Windows for a month now. That has always been a blocker for me. I'll definitely try it out.

Or if you want a fast editor built in rust there’s zed: https://zed.dev/

I can't currently use VS Code with extensions to check, but you should be able to uninstall or disable Copilot and MCP. When I search for MCP in the settings, I see several settings, some of which can restrict MCP use/start.

Alternatively, maybe you want to try a VSCode fork, like Codium (dunno if they only drop telemetry or some of the Copilot stuff as well now), or an alternative similar IDE, like Geany.

What a dud of a release.

AI tools for AI slop >_<

It's leaps and bounds better than the Bleeping Computer AI written article. At least the Koi article appears to have utilitized original notes and an editing pass.

Interesting worm, good that it's found. Dislike the AI-written sensationalistic article at Koi (their work is still good), so I appreciate the addition of the article from Bleeping Computer.

Doesn't MS have a half stake in OpenAI ? Or have I got the wrong company?

Claude is head and shoulders ahead of ChatGPT on coding ability. It's not even a race.

The VS Code devs have been saying this for like 4 months already

You can set a custom theme for each project to easily identify which window has each:

1. Open the command palette (CTRL + SHIFT + P on windows) and search for Preferences: Open Settings (UI)
2. Change to the Workspace tab and search for Color Theme

To cycle through themes, enter the theme picker with CTRL + K CTRL + T, then use arrow keys to navigate.

Nord and catppuccin.

I used to look forward to these updates.

Instead of only having one synchronous agent in VS Code, you can now have multiple agents running at once working on your behalf. This is actually being a 10x developer.

Lol, as if cleaning up the mess of one agent wasn't enough

Just make it version 2 already!!

More ai crap.
