Have you ever found yourself wanting to stay informed about the latest world events while writing code in a programming editor like Visual Studio Code? Here's a plugin that displays news headlines on the status bar of VS Code.

Although it can only accept RSS 2.0, you have the flexibility to add any news sources in the settings.
"newsheadlines.newsSource": [
"https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=inurl:www.reuters.com&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en",
"https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=inurl:www.cnn.com&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en",
]
Here is the default setting. By adding or editing URLs, you can receive news updates on the status bar.
My colleague has used it and mentioned that this tool is great for taking a break when he becomes slightly fatigued from coding.
I hope it brings you some enjoyment.
