    @iiii

    The annoying green lines and red arrows indicating diffs since last commit. Managed to sort it out now with the help of our internal support. The question remains, though: Why on fucking earth do Microsoft constantly change the setting parameters so you can't have a stable coding environment?

    @TerriToniAX what was your solution? What setting was it?

    @TerriToniAX ooooooh, those things on the scrollbar and the margin?

    was it scm.diffDecorations?

    @TerriToniAX because microsoft doesn't WANT you to have a stable coding environment.

    microsoft wants to confuse you as much as possible, so you buy as much support as possible.

    also: YDI for using vs code in the first place.

    I added these three lines:

    "workbench.editor.decorations.badges": false,

    "git.decorations.enabled": false,

    "scm.diffDecorations": "none"

    Dunno which one that actually did the trick, probably scm.diffDecorations.

    Probably. It's one of the three lines I added to settings:

    "workbench.editor.decorations.badges": false,

    "git.decorations.enabled": false,

    "scm.diffDecorations": "none"

    Despite of everything, VS Code is still the best source editor out of the ones I've tried. RDi is the worst.

    Yeah, but what are the alternatives? It's been a while since I tried any other source editors, but they were all crap in different ways. VS Code isn't perfect but it's the best I know. Also, at work I don't get to choose my tools.

    @TerriToniAX i'd prefer any text editor and a command line over vs code.

    also: a job where you can't choose your own dev tools is a job you should get away from.

    @TerriToniAX vscodium is better

    @kiki it's the same thing in a (not so) different wrapper

    @iiii vscode is a wrapper of vscodium with added telemetry

    @kiki exactly. it's the same thing. so how is it better in any meaningful way?

    @iiii it doesn’t have telemetry

    Well, you'd prefer any text editor, but I don't. VS Code is still the best for me.

    Sure, it sucks that I can't choose my tools, but I have a full understanding of why. If everyone could choose their tools freely, it would lead to chaos and would be very difficult, if not impossible, for infra to guarantee any level of interoperability, let alone security, which is paramount in any serious business.

    P.S.

    At home I use Cursor, which is just another fork of VS Code.
