Do not sit here in AoNZ, looking at the US & point fingers.
We have already seen what this coalition of utter cunts have done to tangata whenua, the damage they have done to our economy, & to our daily lives.
The warning is here.
It’s election year.

so it turns out that when VS Code asks you “do you trust the authors of this folder?” what they mean is that it’ll auto-execute .vscode/tasks.json if it exists, which can include shell commands.
maybe that’s too many features. you can’t hold all these features. put a few features back
