People on HN seem to be either very anti-corporatist or love to white knight big tech There’s no in between.
Hey I'm right in the middle: I use a Mac and use open source software on it, while moaning how shitty both are.
I’ve embraced the pain and have been using Linux as my daily driver for like 5 years.

Are other extensions like Codeium[0] allowed to publish under the same rules? I'm not saying your comment is incorrect, but unless Copilot competitors can get the same treatment, it seems extremely unfair and anti-competitive. [0]: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Codeium....

Exactly. That's what Cursor did, and (I think) Microsoft will agree with that and maybe even welcome developers to do this.
Everyone is reading this as intentional anti-competitive practices. While that may be true, isn't another reasonable explanation that the Copilot development team is moving as fast as they can and these sorts of workarounds are being forced through in the name of team velocity? It takes a lot more time/energy to push public APIs and it's probably a very different team than the team developing the copilot extension. S…

fork vscode, do whatever you want. merge back when ready.
This is how Cursor gets wrecked in the medium/long term. Coding agent? Cool. You can't use Pylance with it etc. VSCode degrades to being notepad.exe. MSFT uses Cursor for product research and then rolls out the learnings into Copilot because only Copilot supports all of "Visual Studio Code" features that users expect (and this is by design)
I had to block all network traffic from VSCode that shit is spyware out of the box. Maybe the vi crew is actually onto something.
