it is very annoying the message that appears in VS Code linux, "We have uninstalled 'equinusocio..." please guys fix this. I have tried to uninstall the extension but magically it appears again, for today I have to use another IDE because of how annoying it is...

I did the following (it might help you too): 1. Close VS Code 2. Go to `C:\Users\USER\.vscode\extensions` 3. Delete the folder with that extension 4. Open extensions.json, find and delete the block related to that extension, then save the file 5. That’s it

Can confirm this works :)

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

oklch should be an incredibly minor to unmeasurable performance hit, even on a 7 year old chromebook. Nor should it affect the displayed output. It's just a better color picker syntax.

7 year old chromebooks don't support olkch.

Is "fanny" an insult at all?

Yes, in Britain it is, you fanny.

That one is specifically British though. Or perhaps even just English, I can't imagine a Scottish person using it.

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

Correct, the author links to it from his github page https://github.com/equinusocio

Hmmmmm.

If one can "force uninstall" for safety, then it implies that automatic upgrading an extension with the user's consent is unsafe at the first place.

It is, but that's the reality of today - auto-updates, "evergreen" releases. This was popularised by Chrome, and IMO fixed a LOT of headaches and allowed for much faster and more agile release cycles - the reality before was that a company like Microsoft would have to provide support for older versions of their software for X years and deal with the fallout of security issues with remaining older versions. (Web) deve…

It doesn't fix any headaches it just outsources them to the users who get surprise breakages of their workflow in the middle of an important project.

PSA: every package you install from any package manager from browser extensions to npm/composer etc presents the risk of malware. Because the open source community lacks the financial resources to vet every single version of every package. Demanding this level of security from software provided at no cost that relies on open contributions is wholly unreasonable. If you need that, buy an IDE from a company financially…

> Demanding this level of security from software provided at no cost that relies on open contributions is wholly unreasonable VS Code isn't some kind of hobby project by a couple of dudes on laptops with nothing but the best interests of the community at heart. It's a flagship IDE produced by one of the most valuable tech companies in the world, released for free as a loss leader in service to very specific corporate…

You’d end up with Apple-style reviews and then people complaining about them. You can’t really win.

Theo of internet drama fame interjecting himself into the middle of it as always.

This whole thing makes him look like a vulture. Just let the theme die or let someone make a better one from scratch.

The reason he forked it in the first place is, as he said himself, because he's famous.
