One example: Microsoft's closed-source Pylance extension (their replacement to the previous open source Python language server) has DRM that will refuse to run on non-Microsoft builds of VS Code.
- diggan 2y agoWow, I had no idea. Been test driving VS Code for a little while, and while the constant popups/notifications are distracting and annoying, extensions with DRM in them kind of makes it a lot less interesting.
- cruffle_duffle 2y agoThis was the example I was gonna give, thanks. Also the extension “store” is a clone or something in cursor and I’m pretty sure might not have the same data (installs, current version, etc) If I was Cursor I’m pretty sure I’d rather not be maintaining a fork of VSCode…
