Does anybody know if debugging functionality is accessible with #VSCode? And if so, am I right you need to switch back and forth between virtual cursor and forms mode (#JAWS terminology), or browse mode and focus mode (#NVDA terminology)? #Accessibility

skąd pomysł żeby #vscode wydawał jakieś durnowate dźwięki??

The vs code team just dropped a new feature to generate and update copilot instructions/rules in seconds!

This super boosts your AI responses from #GithHubCopilot

So I got my work #MacBook today. (Because our HR people took pity in me still using a 8GB RAM #ThinkPad from 2019.) And I’m in the middle of setting it up. Things configured so far:

- #ed (1)
- #CommonLisp
- #VSCode (kind of, going zero-configuration out of disgust)
- Minor security and privacy things, like disk encryption and password manager.

Not configured yet:
- #Emacs (trying to see how far I can get without it and how significantly my productivity will drop)
- Browsers (planning on going with heavily-configured Safari)
- Work repos

Takeaways:
- #POSIX matters. It’s quite a superpower having my scripts run on both a Linux machine and a MacBook.
- I had to tweak some stuff with logical pathnames in CL and user-specific binaries (#TIL) in shell, so that’s a bit of experience
- Yes, I take ed(1) with me at all times
- It’s fun setting up a new machine, even as restricted as an #Apple one.

Are there any dyslexic programmers available to offer advice on fonts?

I have poor eyesight and am currently awaiting an operation. In the meantime, I frequently zoom in and out while working, but I would like to find a better font. I experimented with OpenDyslexic (https://antijingoist.itch.io/opendyslexic), which works well on my phone for reading, but not so well in Visual Studio.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a way to create multiple #vscode profiles that share or inherit some part of the config? If I would like ot increase my font size in all profiles I would like to do it in a single file, instead of multiple profile configs.

Microsoft released an #AzureDevOps #mcp server so your AI agents can interact with your work items, repos, builds, pipelines, test plans, and more. It's still in preview. I love the one-click installer for #VSCode.

VS Code 1.101 Released with Tool Set, Custom Chat Mode & MCP Auth

#vscode

Is there a fork/alt build of #VSCode without the #AI features? The time has come for one. More and more AI garbage (and they still can't make it indent code properly!) #FuckAI #OpenSource

yesterday #vscode got rolled back from version 1.101 to 1.80 the last before #salami hyped madness got the better of #code - by me intentionatly

it is faster now, not so sluggish,
less memory consumed

surprisingly batter consumption on mobile hot spot relaxed also

look to me, lot of unwanted and unmoral processing and data sharing has been stopped

also optout on update madness

MCP Server support in #vscode just got a massive upgrade! Full spec implementation with prompts, resources, sampling, and new auth flow!!!

Wow, VS Code at work can't Paste with a keyboard shortcut this morning. I changed nothing.

Hi @neil the gist of this may be interesting (without the AI, and the project isn't open source afaics):

> I [built] Tritium. Tritium aims to be the #lawyer's #VSCode: an all-in-one drafting cockpit that treats a deal's entire document suite as a single, searchable, AI-enhanced workspace while remaining fast, local, and secure.

> Tritium is implemented in Rust. It is cross-platform and I'm excited for the prospect of lawyers running #Linux as their daily driver.

So, is there any hope that the new #iPadOS26 will re-enable support for virtualization? Or at least allow running things like #vscode or #julialang? Or does the #iPad remain a vastly overpowered toy?

Tried #Gemini Code Assist in #VSCode. A cool thing actually, if you know what you're doing (which is true for every #AI assistant though).

The #Zed text editor (https://zed.dev) finally opened early access program for their #Windows builds. I suggest everyone from the #Accessibility dev community to sign up for it, hopefully (maybe!) we will be able to shape its accessibility. Many sighted people from the Apple land praise it for speed and amount of useful functions. I won't quit using #VSCode of course, but why not to have another tool in the box?
