How different is Cursor to VSCodium?
Nonetheless, I think this is more a vulnerability in the Open VSIX registry side, than Cursor AI. If anything, the forks and VS Code should block/sandbox extensions by default, or have a granular permission system to allow users to consciously choose whether to allow an extension to use network resources or not.
- arnaudsm 1y agoCursor is a paid product and a company, VSCodium is an open-source project running on volunteers.
- xinayder 1y agoSo the $900M product runs on volunteer-ran infrastructure, without giving anything back to the Open VSX registry? Seems like software development industry in a nutshell: multi-millionaire companies freeloading on volunteer work :)
- notpushkin 1y agoOpen VSX is actually ran by the Eclipse Foundation, but yeah, apparently Cursor doesn’t support them. :’)
