Can you disable Pylint inline messages in Visual Studio Code?

Question

Is there a way to disable inline Pylint (v2023.10.1) messages in Visual Studio Code (version 1.84.2 on Windows 11)? For example, I'm referring to "Formatting a regular string which could be an f-string" in the image below.

I work with a lot of legacy code and I can't fix every message. I like the squiggly blue line and the list of problems. But I find the text to be very distracting when there are a lot of messages.

This is the Error Lens extension.

The levels can be configured using:

// settings.json
{
  "errorLens.enabledDiagnosticLevels": [
    "error",
    "warning",
    "info"
  ]
}

These three are the default values. Remove one or some of them as you please.

As an example, the following snippet triggers 3 types of notices:

With "info" removed, it now looks like this:
