ohmrunWhy does VsCodium maintain an open connection with github.com?

PatrickA security researcher warned Microsoft in December about the exact attack vector that just got used to breach 3,800 of GitHub's internal repositories. They disclosed it in five tweets. Not their blog. Not their status page. Five tweets.
Let that sink in.
Apparently we've hit Act III of the ongoing decline of GitHub.

Patch Notification Robot 🔔Peter Squicciarini released #VSCodium version 1.121.03429. https://vscodium.com/
ErikVSCodium - SCodium is a community-driven, freely-licensed binary distribution of Microsoft’s editor VS Code.
Tim BöttcherHey, #AskFedi I need your help finding an accessible, cross-platform text editor that isn't #VSCode. If you don't know any, please boost anyway. Thank you!
I've been using VSCode for years--I think seven by now. For the most part, I was, and still am, happy with it; if you don't like MS metrics, you can switch to #VSCodium and it's very accessible even for a #DeafBlind user completely reliant on refreshable Braille displays such as myself.
However...
Microsoft's, shall we say, enthusiastic embrace of AI is warping VS Code, and I worry where it'll end. In short, I don't want all my eggs in one basket.
Sadly, the landscape of accessible text editors and IDEs is, to my knowledge, still relatively barren; #SublimeText has been dragging its feet (rather: utterly refusing to walk) for over a decade. If you want to get angry, this thread is the most appalling thing I've read all month (1), and the linked GitHub issue doesn't give me any hope this'll ever be addressed.
Am I really at the mercy of the whims of Microsoft or doomed to use a less feature-rich, extensible editor as my #IDE ?
I hope not!
So, what do you recommend? #Accessibility #A11y #Blind #ScreenReader

Screen reader accessibility
It isn’t. There are other choices in the market for that. Use one of those instead. Sublime Text is a text editor. It isn’t marketed as the “Accessible Text Editor”. That is something you made up in your head. Not really. Visually impaired users are a minority. Asking for a small company to support that is too much. Only big corporations like Microsoft and Google have the money and resources for that. Not the same. Limitations are very different in these cases. Sublime Text is not obligated...
