Get started with Copilot Free in VS Code

[@crackwitz]

For all those broke people here (not me), you should include visible rate limit counters and initially throw up a prompt as to whether it should begin autocompleting on its own or only on keyboard shortcut (re-prompt and hide the counters when extension notices the user's subscription changes to paid).

[@EhteshamShahzad]

What's the catch?

[@jmg9509]

Probably will be looking at your environment variables and learning off your code for free. Aka, we are the product. Is this actually going to happen? I don't know. But I can speculate how that can benefit.

[@casadogaspar]

2000 code completions per month 50 chat messages per month So it's pretty much Codeium but with limitations.

Extreme limits

[@mehmetarifartan5633]

very few message rights, you have done a very good job .

[@shafu_xyz]

docs, web links..when?

[@AlfieLikesComputers]

I never expected an LLM to be able to write that much of a fancy CSS! Especially since they can't even see the output I remember before i tried to get GPT-3.5 to write a whole stylesheet for my website, it didn't look so good I guess they have evolved now

[@jmg9509]

It's still super basic css styling though. You find those everywhere, so I wouldn't doubt the LLM would've endlessly come across code that made those sort of styles.

[@AlfieLikesComputers]

@@jmg9509 Yea ik but compared to what GPT-3.5 made for me, it is much better

[@stevecummings3591]

What about for Visual Studio 2022 versions? Like Community edition.

[@professorx1541]

Thanks vscode, and microsoft.

[@ratnadeepsaha7675]

What is the difference between the free and paid version of copilot?

[@mr.mike678]

In the paid version you need to pay.

[@Hilman_Faiz]

See description

[@trappedcat3615]

Why am I still paying for a subscription?

[@spsanderson]

So can I quit paying for it?

[@77thoughts]

not if you want unlimited usage (completions and chats)

[@kuramamizukage]
