they just want to steal your whole codebase to train AI and then turn around and prohibit you from using it to code competing products or services. You know, the OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic/xAI strategy
How dare they put a pop-up promoting a feature of a software inside that software, like, once. Do they think they get a pass because only nagging pop-ups are considered ad?

I mean there is a genuinely free tier that doesn't ask for credit cards or anything… that used to not be the case. More of an announcement than anything.
Quick context questions:
1. What were you doing right before this popped up?
2. Was this unprompted or did you click something to make this pop up? If so, what?
3. Have you used GitHub Copilot before?
4. Are you signed into your GitHub account?
Enough with VSCode, moved to Emacs about 2 years ago. Emacs is far more configureable and efficient than you might think. Just don't be scared by the keybindings like "C-u C-x C-f" (I personally installed evil-mode to simplify the keys).
Whoops, you're not connected to Mailchimp. You need to enter a valid Mailchimp API key.

Has anyone else had this ad recently? My tolerance for being advertised to is already low… I suppose it's time to just use neovim.

Never got that, I'm guessing you have the copilot extension and that it is what is causing it

Yet another “Maybe Later” anti-UI. What ever happened to “No?”
Microsoft is like a creepy guy in a nightclub going up to every woman, asking “Do you want to dance? [Yes] [Maybe Later]”
Their deliberate misunderstanding of user consent should be criminal.

Just install Emacs. It respects your freedom, and it respects your rights.

It's pretty mild.

Do you have the setting `extensions.ignoreRecommendations` enabled?

Is there a uBlock Origin for VS Code?
My work and my personal projects are deeply tied to the official extensions that neovim,helix,zed,emacs,etc. lack.

don't you need to click on the copilot icon for this to show? i'd understand the sentiment if it was a popup out of nowhere
