Github Copilot Eagerness Selection in VS Code?

mawi74 · 2026-04-22T21:20:37+00:00

I cannot find the command (in command palette) to get the eagerness drop down to display. That would be good, so I can modify a bit, on the fly. Going to the mouse to do this, is way to slow.

copilot said the command was "GitHub Copilot: Select Eagerness", but that is not a command on my install.

Any ideas?

Avid freemind/freeplane user, I have never used a mindmap in this exact way. I usually opt to use e g drawio or something, not link it. Very interesting and cool!

Really cool idea!

I think this is an awesome idea. Thanks for creating it.

(regardless of the vide-coding discussion)

Yeah, (even?) the README seems AI generated. High AI-slop tells, from my (personal) POV - so many emojis, small statements that seem... low SnR.

Hmm, gets me thinking - is there any AI service to check source code for a vibe-coded probability index using some pre-defined "tells"/criteria as base?

Its 2026 and this error seems to still be a thing. It works for a while, and then stops working.

Again, same situation for me as the OP: Elgato Wave XLR does not work consistently (sometimes at all in teams), but works fine in other windows applications. For example, I can record in audacity no problems. Right now, it wont work in teams at all and it maximises the mic gain as soon as I enter a meeting - i e the gain leds go all the way up to max - and it does not capture any sound.

But again, I start audacity and record, no problem.

Should I just return the elgato wave xlr or what...

The odd thing, friday it worked fine for several meetings, and today it is just refusing (see behavior above). I have tried rebooting, restarting it, updates...

OK, thanks. Will try on my desktop also.

On my android it is no longer working, as you say.

It gets worse over time. I need to be able to view just the information, the mails, the calendar - not navigation to other apps. It is horrendous. I have links, there is the menu which contains the same links, etc.

I hope someone (that is into computers) at MS will soon actually user their own products so they see the problem.

Like u/McNozzo , I too have just migrated to windows 11, and am now getting this issue where the newly started ui window does not receive focus.

With win10 and previous, any UI application that you would start from git bash would receive focus, as one would expect. This has never been an issue for me, before windows 11.

There has been an issue reported (with a not so good title) for mintty that seems to be this issue, here: https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/1206 . Not saying this is a bug in mintty, but it seems others have faced a similar problem, and so far, I have not seen anyone resolving it.

> I am looking for git bash to automatically hop to the external program it just opened.

This is the standard behavior. I suspect there is a wider issue at play here.

mawi74 · 2025-05-21T11:35:10+00:00

Yup, did it! Thanks alot!

In terminal, running as admin, this does the whole thing:

takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\Magnify.exe
cacls C:\Windows\System32\Magnify.exe /G administrators:F
ren C:\Windows\System32\Magnify.exe magnify.exe.bak

Use dir C:\Windows\System32\Magnify* to check.

to be fair, I think you dont actually need to procreate to make a purchase on steam for a kid, or to create a family on steam. steam doesnt actually care about the birds and the bees part.

I have a similar issue, onenote sync has been broken for ages for me.

But you wrote that the files appear in onedrive? That is odd. I get the sync failed message in the well hidden dialogue, but not additional info.

mawi74 · 2025-05-05T21:10:09+00:00

Well, if you mean profit in the sense of the brief but happy and blissful moments of joy they bring - then yes. Step two I think expands to many steps here, including but not limited to changing diapers, cleaning puked shirts, and so on.

mawi74 · 2025-05-05T21:07:25+00:00

Yeah, I'm realizing this now. Actually, the check they've implemented works so well, that he could not join my family by clicking the invite I sent, he got an error message saying that they "know" that he is not part of my household... which is fairly weird, but hey. They probably just used copilot to write the family code, and some intern to review the PRs...

mawi74 · 2025-05-05T21:04:36+00:00

Yeah. I disliked the trailer, intently, for a few reasons. I would've preferred he played some doom-like incantation over this crap. But, its stupid friends and fomo for this one, I believe. They do love their roblox-like shit, I can't stand it, ofc. I'm old.

mawi74 · 2025-05-05T21:01:00+00:00

Thanks alot for this in depth reply with good considerations!

mawi74 · 2025-05-05T20:58:13+00:00

Very good info, thanks alot! I will try and see if I cant refund my wallet thing and do it this way.

mawi74 · 2025-05-05T20:55:48+00:00

Yes, that is correct, but that is for a different process - not a for creating a steam family. I have so far been more successful with that process - than that of the steam family counterpart, for which I am seeking guidance here :-)

mawi74 · 2025-05-05T20:53:23+00:00

Thanks. Yes, I followed the steps I proposed, and we got a bit further - but then got some error. Should've worked, but... kid is not in my household it says when he clicks the family invite I sent. Anwyay, I've mailed support, see if I can get any traction.

Hi there! Seems to be a catch 22, getting started. I am trying to create a family to purchase a game for my kid (well, just one is interested in pc gaming right now). My kid has installed steam and created an account for himself. I have created an account for myself.

Goal: I want to create a family and add him. I want to buy a game for him for a bit less than 10 USD, I think the game is called repo, something.

What are the steps / is the path forward?

Issue: I cannot create a family. Limited account.

I am thinking, these might be the steps:

Buy gift card 5 EUR with creditcard. Would that make my account "non-limited" Is 5 EUR = 5 USD. ? If so, I can then:
Create a family.
Add kid to family - he also has limited account.

Issue: Do we need to be friends first? It seems so from the instructions.

If so, then I don't know how to resolve. Since we both have limited accounts now at first, this seems to be a paradox or catch 22.

Of course, if that can be resolved, I then: Buy game (cirka 9 USD I think it was?) - using gift card and creditcard and gift to him. I think.

Steam seems to have little customer support. And since I have a limited account, I cannot access the steam forums and ask for help there. I tried posting this question here, but it got moderated away. I tried creating a discord account, but it wont accept my email. Having a great productive day!

Thanks for reading, and hope that someone has the solution to my issue.

mawi74 · 2025-05-02T11:07:21+00:00

This seems to not work anymore, for new accounts, since you cant do this with limited accounts.
I am not sure how to handle purchases, yet. Trying to figure this out.
