Hi - Isidor here from the VS Code team. A member of the community did a deep security analysis of the extension and found multiple red flags that indicate malicious intent and reported this to us. Our security researchers at Microsoft confirmed this claims and found additional suspicious code. We banned the publisher from the VS Marketplace and removed all of their extensions and uninstalled from all VS Code instance…

They are now evading the ban by rebranding the extension to "Fanny Theme": https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fanny.vs...

Is this a troll name? Fanny is a faily well-known slang term[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny#In_slang

Well, no, because speeding increases the energy of potential collisions, and also encourages others to speed. If you have to drive more than once, "speeding" isn't necessarily a dominant strategy.

Would that change if cars could go fast enough, say mach 3?

When driving, you want to keep your velocity relative to other cars as low as possible, while retaining your ability to avoid obstacles / not murder cyclists and pedestrians.

If cars could go at mach 3, then you'd want to avoid roads entirely: it's not feasible to avoid obstacles at that speed, and you certainly don't want to get hit by shockwaves or – worse – actual cars travelling at such relative velocities. So no, you would have worse problems in this hypothetical.

only in UK IIRC

35+ years ago, my friend insisted it meant the UK definition and, until now, every time I heard the word, I'd think of the time my, otherwise smarty-pants, friend didn't know what the most basic, least offensive, slang meant.

Happy Monokai customer here! I want to make themes using my own palette but nothing supports OKLCH and I don't wanna convert to HEX.

I haven't noticed any difference after tailwind started using oklch, doubt there's any.

The question isn't whether you noticed a difference, but whether your aunt notices a difference on her 7 year old Chromebook

Can you please clarify whether the fork also suffers from the same security issues (or engage the fork's owner to ensure that it doesn't https://github.com/t3dotgg/vsc-material-but-i-wont-sue-you )

Thanks for flagging it. Our security researchers will analize it and based on their findings we might remove this one as well.

Many English speaking countries, I'm sure the US is more the exception than the rule in this case. Of course, 'git' is also an insult.

Git is a fairly mild insult though, roughly equivalent to calling someone annoying. I'm sure at least a few of us have thought Git (the tool) to be aptly named, from time to time.
