As per [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments#_select-and-activate-an-environment), you should be able to disable that with the `python.terminal.activateEnvironment` setting:

> **Tip** : To prevent automatic activation of a selected environment, add `"python.terminal.activateEnvironment": false` to your `settings.json` file (it can be placed anywhere as a sibling to the existing settings).
