I want to try this copilot thing in vscode.
But not #vscode. I use #codium instead.

I had it installed, but never got it working and now I try again and it's all borked.

I don't much like the current #AI bubble, but I have to keep up with my industry, especially in my advanced age (48). #ageism
The managers will promote the young college grads will over any old fart who is still shoeing their horses themselves.

What does this error mean?

Anyone on #lazyweb #lazymastodon?

@poleguy did you ask AI /s

@madpilot Not yet. :-)

Let's try...

Dear #lazyai, can you tell me why #AI isn't working for me?

No? Why? Because #lazyai isn't a thing. The whole reason #lazyweb and #lazymastodon works is because of people. (Actually, that's also the whole reason #AI works also, but that's another story.)

Do you remember #VOIP? Voice-over-IP? I used to do IPOV: I'd call up a dorky friend who I knew was sitting next to a real computer and ask them for whatever I wanted: Way better than any digital assistant!

@madpilot I did just past the error info into chatgpt. It gave me only answers I already knew. Enabling microsoft marketplace, use alternatives, etc. Which I don't want to do.

No surprise.

I'm looking for a very specific answer that only somebody very dialed in would be able to surface.

But if I'm going to throw a long-shot into the void, I figured mastodon would be my best bet... or this github issue:

Here's the back story:
