I really hate microsoft, I wanted to work on my OSINTBuddy plugin system this morning that’s built in Python however I thought I’d try to update the Pylance extension to something more recent since I’m running a version from 2023. It’s been 3 hours and I cannot get it to work due to stupid corporate scumbags. If you are a developer that’s working on VSCodes Pylance extension I will punch you in the face if we ever meet for succumbing to shitty unethical business practices, screw that, I’d quit!
Since I use VSCodium and not VSCode, someone had the bright idea to ensure their “open source” VSCode is nice and “open”. HOWEVER, the Pylance extension is fucked on anything except the official VSCode build. The Pylance extension explicitly checks for if it’s running on an official VSCode build. Who the hell thought that was a good idea!? Check out this discussion on the VSCodium repo for more details.
After I finally got my Pylance extension working on VSCodium after following that discussion and this one I noticed something else stupid. As you’re about to see in the images, the color decorators stopped working when I got Pylance to finally run by changing nameShort and nameLong to Visual Studio Code. Hogwash! I’m switching to Zed for Python work, I can’t be bothered to deal with this crap. There’s only a few more minor things I want from Zed in terms of features before I can ditch this shitty Microsoft based product. 3 hours of my life gone from this bullshit
Color decorators breaking:
and like ‘magic’, when the name is VSCodium, the decorators, imagine this, work.
I can’t believe it…
3 hours!!!!
