So I recently came across #VSCodium, a cleaner version of #VSCode built directly from source and minus the #Microsoft telemetry shit.

Tried it out and might be placebo but Codium seems snappier than Code.

Here’s the link in case you wanna switch too:

@arghyadeep It's a little dissapointing that it doesn't have the setting sync or live share capability. Why do those need to rely on proprietary services? =/

@bhart Setting sync is understandable but for live share it might be Microsoft strategy to hold on to the consumers.

Anyways, I don't care for either of those so I''m good.

@arghyadeep VS Code isn't even FOSS unless you compile it yourself or use something like codium. It's under the same license as Microsoft Windows.
