The new VSCode light theme is a joke!

Before: good constrast, easy to spot the string interpolation.

After: even though my eyesight is pretty good, there’s just no way I can see that.

#VSCode #Microsoft #VisualStudio

What the fuck!? Visual Studio Code currently reports issues in global Agent.md files I didn't create, request or use. I have Copilot disabled. And I cannot get rid of the reported issues without a) cleaning up their mess (edit & lock the files, because of course they get overwritten otherwise), or b) install extensions I'm not using, or c) disable displaying issues altogether.1

Shit like that makes me angry. Yeah, I know, I don't have to use VS Code. Usually I'd be the smug smartass telling people they should expect things like that if they rely on big tech.2

It's just, I'm getting more and more sick of "technology". Not because I don't like it per se, I'm a huge fucking nerd. But every fucking month it feels more dystopian to use the technology they're feeding us.

Overall it's not tragic, I know mistakes happen and another bug wouldn't provoke me that much. However our cursed savior, the "AI" doesn't seem to free capacity from writing boilerplate code to care more about the human issues and INCREASE THE FUCKING QUALITY, no, it's used to participate in an ever-accerelating race that no one really can win. As I see it right now, "thanks" to "AI" "we"'re moving much faster, although with declining quality and care. The industry is awestruck by the tremendous potantial that just got unlocked, and everyone writes blog posts how their workflow has fundamentally changed, and no one takes a fucking mintute to think about what we actually should be doing.

    Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wants security clearance to be briefed about foreign interference - Mander

    Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is seeking security clearance to receive briefings on foreign interference in her province, but the leader of the Opposition says she shouldn’t be trusted with it. The premier told the Legislative Assembly of Alberta this week that she has started the process to get a higher security clearance so she can receive briefings from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). “I would like to know if there is any foreign interference happening in our province,” Smith said during question period Wednesday. (Opposition NDP Leader Naheed) Nenshi said he believes Smith should be disqualified from obtaining the clearance, citing what he called her lack of concern about the ongoing separation campaign in Alberta, and questions he has about the premier’s trip to Saudi Arabia last fall to meet with local government officials, which was taken on a private plane.

    If you update VS Code to version 1.113 and do not like the new colour theme, here is how to change it back:

    How can I restore the VS Code color theme after update 1.113?

    Through its 1.113 update, VS Code forced all users to switch color theme to "VS Code Light" and "VS Code Dark". How can I restore to the previous color theme?

    #VSCode changed the syntax highlight theme I used, and now my world is upside down. I don't recognize a thing.

    Damn you, brain. And damn you MS people and volunteers who want to improve their product with good and meaningful changes.

    Keeping eyes open for alternatives to #vscode.

    Ran into #EclipseTheia. Opened up the web page.

    "Guys guys guys this is an #AI NATIVE IDE!"

    🤦🏻‍♀️ It's like every other bloody IDE, then. Why is this the only thing front and center? Oh wait, *the industry.*

    ...In moments like this, I wish I could just enter the Konami code and the website would switch from "trying to impress the Management" mode to "developer who is actually interested of the actual features" mode.

    It's like when I was a kid and the 8-bit microcomputers all had *awesome games* and the marketing material, aimed at the people who made the purchase decisions, was like "home computers have a wide variety of uses, you can keep track of the contents of the fridge... or something". And the parents were like "ooo, fridge tracking. We must evaluate these based on this important criterion."

    Evening folks,

    A busy one for me on #omnimem. We now have 76% test coverage :) Still more to do but getting there. Automated security scanning and automated docker builds for amd64 and arm64. This means you no longer have to build the project your self to get started. All you need is docker installed, check out the new guide:

    https://codeberg.org/ric_harvey/omnimem/src/branch/main/guides/docker-hub.md

    There are now guides for #VScode + CoPiliot #Cursor #Codex #Kiro #GitlabDuo #OpenCode and of course #Claude

    #AI #Memory that isn't binary!

    omnimem/guides/docker-hub.md at main

    omnimem - Self-hosted semantic memory for Claude Code. Persistent sessions, experience scoring, and a graveyard for dead ends, backed by Valkey vector search and exposed as an MCP server.
