So I've just stumbled upon VSCodium and have added it to my 'do-today' maintenance tasks.
I've invested a lot of time in VSCode while learning Python and it’s a truly helpful product. But why should I hand over private code free for scraping before I've posted in the wild by choice?
Done.
Install of VS Codium to replace VS Code went nicely (via 'snap' in Ubuntu's 'App Center').
Needed only to reinstall a couple of extensions and reconnect to github (which is another service for which like to review alternatives).
Also took the opportunity to install a 'linter' (Ruff) for superficial code review - it's a helpful tool; learned about the risk of 'bare excepts' which are ubiquitous in online code snippets/advice.
