Readit NewsI thought originally it may have been an OSS extension, but it actually seems to have been a proprietary project licensed under the Microsoft Software License, similar to Copilot and such.
They have not released 1.107 yet, doing a quick scan I am not seeing anything on the VSCodium github.
<offtopic> The "RFD" here stands for "Reason/Request for Decision" or something else? (Request for Decision doesn't have a nice _ring_ on it tbh). I'm aware of RFCs ofc and the respective status changes (draft, review, accepted, rejected) or ADR (Architectural Decision Record) but have not come across the RFD acronym. Google gave several different answers. </offtopic> </offtopic>
What is the threshold where you are basically running Windows, and you have Linux installed just for some internet vanity?
Play games? Run Windows games with Wine/Proton Coding? VSCode App? This thing...
But at least I don't own Windows, sheej!
I'd love to just run windows if there was a version that didn't have this.

The image is not photography, I guess technically it's a photograph of a painting but still, confusing text.
- Raycast has a nice UI that can expand to work well with extensions
- Flow is faster to use. With Raycast you often need to enter an extension to finish your action. To launch a scrip on Flow I just type "r [shortcut] -> enter" while Raycast is "quicklinks -> enter -> [shortcut] -> enter. [edit, with minimal setup using aliases, you can have similar speed. See __jonas comment below]
- Performance-wise, Raycast was often eating my RAM, but a dev mentioned it's expected in the beta, they'll fix it for the launch. Otherwise, both feel snappy
- Both seem to have enough community support and extensions
- I never really tried the AI features, I don't know if it's the right place for me to augment my workflow w/ it
Curious about the experience of others with these tools or similar ones
That’s surprising to me, since it’s not how it works in the mac version of Raycast.
There you just type the extension name to trigger it, which you can also set an alias for, so I have it set so that if I type “c” then press space I see my list of vscode projects which I can search. “f” goes into file search (I think that’s the default even)
The government can just ask them to turn over those. (note that this is legally very different from forcing someone to unlock a device)
It has the option of doing that, it asks you if you want to enable the backups. It also allows you to encrypt the backups with a passkey or a password that you can manually set, client-side.
It didn’t always have the encryption option I think.
