"Free/Libre Open Source Software Binaries of VsCode"

It's very much what the tag line says.<brclass="mw_emptyline_first" /><brclass="mw_emptyline" />Consider the following:<brclass="mw_emptyline_first" />

  • vsCode is free and open-source
  • vsCode is made and distributed by Microsoft
  • vsCode ships with "telemetrics"
    • usage data is being sent back to Microsoft

<brclass="mw_emptyline" /><brclass="mw_emptyline" />If any of this concerns you, you don't have to miss out!<brclass="mw_emptyline_first" />You can still enjoy all the features of vsCode, while sending no data to Microsoft!<brclass="mw_emptyline_first" /><brclass="mw_emptyline" />It's project on Github, that pulls down the code from the vsCode repository (since it's open-source), and compiles it without tele-metrics for you!<brclass="mw_emptyline_first" />Personally, i haven't bothered auditing vsCodium to see if it's dialing out anywhere, but the hacker community seems to like it!<brclass="mw_emptyline_first" />Basically, use this if you trust the vsCodium people more than the Microsoft ones.<brclass="mw_emptyline_first" /><brclass="mw_emptyline" />Full and official documentation available at: https://vscodium.com/
