Other things I've learned about VSCodium: It can use extensions from the "Extensions for Visual Studio Code" web site at marketplace.visualstudio.com but...

it's actually illegal! Microsoft prohibits the use of it with non-Microsoft products.

I know people keep telling me "Oh, Microsoft isn't evil like in the old days but... I still don't believe it.

And you can't just download an extension and load it into VSCodium because they don't work that way.

Oh, you actually *can* load the extensions from the vscode marketplace into VSCodium. Technically it is possible, but it is illegal. Thanks, Microsoft!

Even though I thought I was choosing a new text editor that was free of Microsoft, it is not. I may need to rethink things.

@rasterweb Illegal only for their weird Microsoft shit, AFAIK. Live Share is one example.

Rest of the extensions are provided by extension authors and you can just grab VSIX and install in . In case VSIX is not available, grab source code of the extension and build it (haha <insert " install" joke here>). 😎

@vintprox I'll have to dig into the VSIX part... I'm new at all of this!
