It's convenient that I can use #LLMs to help me learn how to use LLMs because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to figure it out any other way.

I want to use my local #Ollama models with #Copilot in #VSCode, but I have an #AMD #GPU so apparently I need to install something called the #ROCm (Radeon Open Compute Platform) via the Windows 11 HIP SDK?

And maybe all this doesn't work in #WSL, so I'll have to reinstall it in #Ubuntu there if I want to use it in one of those workspaces?

The GitHub Copilot Chat client for VS Code is now open source under the MIT license. Here's the source code:

"As Copilot Chat releases in lockstep with VS Code due to its deep UI integration, every new version of Copilot Chat is only compatible with the latest and newest release of VS Code. This means that if you are using an older version of VS Code, you will not be able to use the latest Copilot Chat.

Only the latest Copilot Chat versions will use the latest models provided by the Copilot service, as even minor model upgrades require prompt changes and fixes in the extension. An older version of Copilot Chat will still use the latest version of Copilot completions."

it looks like developers cannot be productive without an AI code assistant, well I honestly have to say that #copilot has been useful for boilerplate specs but code... mixed feelings. More, most of the tools are for #vscode which I honestly don't like. I prefer my #neovim setup and folks, remember the #enshittification of the Internet, once you're locked in, corporations can do whatever they want of you... #generativeAI #developers #programming

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.

#vscode today is better than what #visualstudio was when I left it nearly a decade ago. VSCode is the #ide that freed me from the shackles that kept me bound to #windows
How ironic is that?

VS Code Dev Containers

https://blog.hardill.me.uk/2025/06/18/vs-code-dev-containers/

I was bored yesterday evening and ended up looking for a small project to keep me occupied.

I had seen a Toot from @jtonline talking about VS Code Dev Containers (and enabling access to Linux Keyrings from the container), which is not something I’d played with, so sounded like a good idea.

I have been using Go and Rust containers to manually build projects to remove the need […]

Five VScode Extensions for AI Applications:
GitHub Copilot
Codeium

Gemini Code Assist
Amazon Q

#Emacs is often mis represented just as a customizable text editor (even on project website). In reality, it’s a highly hackable lisp environment. Just stop comparing it with #vim #vscode #helix or any other text editors / IDEs

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

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, habe mich ENDLICH mal mit #GithubPages auseinandergesetzt und ein neues Blog gestartet. https://blog.metawops.de Eine Menge Neues gelernt auf dem Weg, was ich auch teilweise gleich als Blog Post aufgeschrieben habe. Es werden aber noch allerlei andere Themen & Posts folgen. – Was für #BonnerBlogs, @Sascha? #Markdown #Github #VSCode #Workingcopy

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?

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?

The more I think about it, the more it seems to me that in this day and age with all the modern threats having a text editor that is capable to not only connect to the Internet, but also install some code packages from repositories (and probably do dependency resolving) is a recipe to catastrophe. Sooner or later.
It's probably one thing when you use a curated list of half a dozen addons that you can even personally peruse (or even contribute to). It's a whole other thing when you use some huge "distro" with probably hundreds of packages that also receive constant updates you cannot possibly control.
It's mostly about #Emacs, of course, but #vim is fully capable of it too. I won't even mention the likes of #VSCode.
We had a fair share of supply chain attacks in the recent years (npm, pip, even xz in some way). No reason to think no one's gonna use this channel of attack.
Maybe it's just my fibs. But there is some uneasy feeling about the fact that you edit, perhaps, extremely private, personal or sensitive texts while your editor runs some background code doing who knows what. It's one thing to trust people who wrote vim or Emacs and a whole other thing to trust a hundred other unknown parties at the same time.

Hoping those familiar with #LaTeX can give me some advice here. I've started using it to create my assignments for school. I'm not writing technical papers yet, but I find using LaTeX with #Zotero in #VSCode more #accessible with a #ScreenReader than most other setups I've tried.
Since my discussion posts have to follow #APA style, I’m using LaTeX for those as well as full papers. That part is going well—but I’m running into trouble when I need to actually post what I’ve written.
My school uses Brightspace, which allows discussion posts in either rich text or #HTML. I have #Pandoc installed, so I tried converting my LaTeX source to HTML and pasting the code. But Pandoc didn’t include my references section in the output.
I also tried copying from the PDF, but that stripped all formatting.
Does anyone know how I can get a clean HTML version of my work—with references included—that I can paste into Brightspace?
Here’s the command I’ve been using:
pandoc main.tex \
--bibliography=references. Bib \
--csl=apa.csl \
--standalone \
-o main.html
It creates the HTML file, but the references section is missing.
Any tips?
