I'm really hoping that this will perhaps lead to other BASIC implementations being open sourced as well.

I've written a fully functional emulator for my first love, the Philips P2000T [1], but never released it because I couldn't find a legal way to distribute it. Most software for this machine requires the BASIC ROM, and even reverse engineering it might not be entirely legal.

If anyone knows where to address my requests to Microsoft, I'd be very happy to hear that.

I love how the initial commit is "48 years ago."

The "48 years ago" detail for the commit date is genius.

Hi - Isidor here from the VS Code team.

A member of the community did a deep security analysis of the extension and found multiple red flags that indicate malicious intent and reported this to us. Our security researchers at Microsoft confirmed this claims and found additional suspicious code.

We banned the publisher from the VS Marketplace and removed all of their extensions and uninstalled from all VS Code instances that have this extension running. For clarity - the removal had nothing to do about copyright/licenses, only about potential malicious intent.

Expect an announcement here with more details soon https://github.com/microsoft/vsmarketplace/

As a reminder, the VS Marketplace continuously invests in security. And more about extension runtime trust can be found in this article https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-runtime-...

Thank you!

False positives suck, and it hurts when it happens.

The publisher account for Material Theme and Material Theme Icons (Equinusocio) was mistakenly flagged and has now been restored. In the interest of safety, we moved fast and we messed up. We removed these themes because they fired off multiple malware detection indicators inside Microsoft, and our investigation came to the wrong conclusion. We care deeply about the security of the VS Code ecosystem, and acted quickly to protect our users.

I understand that the "Equinusocio" extensions author's frustration and intense reaction, and we hear you. It's bad but sometimes things like this happen. We do our best - we're humans, and we hope to move on from this We will clarify our policy on obfuscated code and we will update our scanners and investigation process to reduce the likelihood of another event like this. These extensions are safe and have been restored for the VS Code community to enjoy.

Again, we apologize that the author got caught up in the blast radius and we look forward to their future themes and extensions. We've corresponded with him to make these amends and thanked him for his patience.

We are doing a fundraiser for him to get a laptop here: https://hcb.hackclub.com/donations/start/oxy2dev-laptop

We need about $500 more USD to get him an M1 MacBook Air (they are more expensive in Bangladesh, where he is based).
