@racheltobac well, it's not enoigh to demand #OptInOnly but as long as people keep using #LinkedIn, they do encourage it's ongoing #Enshittification.
Cuz #ScreenTime is the only #metric the #PlatformHolders care...
The v2.0 update to the C# extension silently installed a dependency, the .NET Runtime Install Tool extension, that has #telemetry enabled by default.
#Microsoft pushed the update to #VSCode users in early August, and it reached #OpenVSX / #VSCodium users a month later.
There is no indication that the dependency respects the `telemetry.enableTelemetry` setting. You can opt out:
"dotnetAcquisitionExtension.enableTelemetry": false
But personally, I've chosen to uninstall the Ionide, C#, and .NET Runtime Install Tool extensions.
Opt-out is not consent.
