Here’s where we are with what Microsoft is doing:

   Embrace (Open Source, Github, Linux) [x]

   Extend (AI, VSCode, WSL) [x]

   Extinguish <——————- (We are here) (Close to ‘Free’, Blocking extensions)

When Microsoft sees a fast growing threat to one of their flagship AI products (Github Copilot) thanks to Cursor, desperate measures become activated.

Microsoft will then attempt to race Cursor to zero to try to destroy them to become the best tool for close to free.

Does anyone know how is the filtering done? Is it just the user agent or something similar? I suspect a proxy, or some small patch should be possible to use in the meantime...

Why are you even using DevKit instead of standard base extension or, moreover, its fork which uses NetCoreDbg, used by VSCodium and other proper forks?
