Need subscription so trash
he shoots, he scores!he shoots, he scores!

It’s fine, I guess

It keeps advertising their subscription for Visual Code Pro, only I intend to keep using the regular. And I couldn’t find a way to exit out of the ad without waiting long periods of time. It also happens every single time I try to run my program, which I don’t know if it’s included in the subscription, but for an app named Visual Code, you’d expect to be able to run code, right?
