I wonder... is MS likely going to make it harder to swap the URL on the official copilot client in light of this? Will they continue hosting the "competition"?

- circuit10 4y agoIt has existed since October 2022, so...
- nu11ptr 4y agoThis is the first I'm hearing of it. I wonder how many others as well are seeing this via HN the first time? I would imagine MS has been aware of this since more or less inception, however, any product threat isn't really about existence, but how viable and how well known/used it is.
- Takennickname 4y agoI'm pretty sure VS Code Extensions aren't compiled.
- californical 4y agoThere’s an alternative client that already exists for neovim, it’s actually better than the official client IMO, and should be easy to change the URL there!
- powersnail 4y agoThe integration with Copilot doesn’t quite compete with MS, because, well, using the extension requires a functioning subscription. You’d be paying MS, regardless of whether you point it to fauxpilot or copilot. But there are other extensions that are specifically made for fauxpilot which work well.
