By mistake I pressed on "don't show this again". How can I make vscode show that option again?

This was broken in vscode v1.90, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/214671 where I pointed out the new setting:
// Controls if the empty editor text hint should be visible in the editor. "workbench.editor.empty.hint": "text",
Workbench > Editor > Empty: Hint also see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/214679
But it has been fixed and is working in the latest Insiders Build and should be out in v1.91 in early July 2023.
There is a setting that enables/disables that message:
Workbench > Editor > Empty: Hint
By selecting "Don't show again" you disabled that setting (setting it to hidden).
To get the message back, reenable it - set it to text.

- Press
ctrl + shift + P - Type Change Language Mode press enter
You will get menu with all the languages.
Additionally you can save the file with correct extension to get all the language support installed in your VS code.
Hope this helped

You can also click the current language in the bottom-right corner ("plain text" on OP's screenshot).

I don't know when they changed the name of this setting but now it's called
"workbench.editor.empty.hint" You still need to change it to "text"

To anyone looking for this prompt today...
I used to have it enabled, but suddenly the prompt was gone. I went through all the workbench settings and finally found the setting.
It seems like they recently changed the setting ID from workbench.editor.untitled.hint to workbench.editor.empty.hint, and when doing that, set the setting to hidden regardless of the current value.
ctrl shift pthen type in "user settings json". Then, find and delete the setting you changed, and it will revert to default.
