Is it really free if it's forced on you?

VS Code PM here, It is really free. it is not forced on you :) You can choose to install the GH Copilot extension. If you do not want to you do not really have to.

This seems cool, but every month when GitHub emails me about my continued GitHub Copilot access, I keep looking for how to disable it and find nothing. Is there some way to disable Copilot? Or do I just have to accept that there's an AI tuba in my face?

If you have it as an individual user docs.github.com/en/copilot/m...

I don't have an option to manage the subscription... I get an email each month telling me that I continue to get access to it for another month.

Not sure where to start with your new Copilot access? Chat with the mermAId Chat Participant to morph your words into diagrams 🧜‍♀️ marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...

That is really cool. Thanks for sharing! fwiw I ran the same command, and got this as a response.

The Bluesky link in the last paragraph doesn't work.

I'm most excited about the Copilot Extensions especially Language Model Tools. code.visualstudio.com/api/extensio...

VS Code PM here - this is awesome to hear! Let me know if I can help in any way in case you plan to build a VS Code extension.
