Is VS Codium (https://vscodium.com/) okay to use, privacy wise?

Hablemos de #SoftwareLibre
Much@s usan y/o conocen Visual Stuido Code pero lo que no saben es que #VSCode no es libre. Sus binarios contienen código privativo de Microsoft y además vienen con telemetría y, ahora también, con Copilot.

Queremos presentaros #VSCodium que hace lo mismo pero mejor, porque es completamente libre y sin las porquerías de #Microsoft Los que uséis VSCode echadle un vistazo que seguro que no lo vais a lamentar

Tried running #VSCodium in #Flatpak. It did not go well.

An IDE that can't access /usr/bin—wherein one finds compilers, version control tools, and so forth—is a rather useless IDE.

Technically these are still accessible at /run/host/usr/bin, but extensions will not look there, and many programs (like hg) will not run from there.

Such things can be run successfully using host-spawn, but again, extensions don't know that.

So yeah. Fail.

He usado #VSCodium durante muchos meses, pero su errático funcionamiento en #Wayland ha acabado con paciencia. #Chromium y #Electron tienen que ponerse las pilas ahí.

Ahora le estoy dando una oportunidad a #Zed, cuyo empaquetado #Flatpak no está verificado por ahora, pero parece que ayuda en la escritura de código y su funcionamiento sobre Wayland es aparentemente mucho mejor.

Veremos si al final se queda.

Happy #iloveFS day! Spending Valentine’s with my SO chilling with some #python shenanigans.

That all wouldn’t be possible without all the great #foss tools we’re using. Some that I especially want to thank today are:

#grafana #opensuse #vscodium #mastodon #kde #OrganicMaps #bitwarden #matrix #ubuntu #linux #vlc #blender #homeassistant #Zellij #lemmy #postgreSQL #asahilinux

thanks everyone for your dedication.

I was reading the latest issue of #Linux Format. In there they are starting a new Rust series, and the tutorial starts teaching people how to install and setup #Rust and #VSCode WTF!! a Linux magazine telling people to install #Microsoft binary software that is released with #telemetry and under a non FLOSS license? Why they don't encourage the use of #VisualStudioCodium which is #freesoftware instead?

Thanks, Microsoft, but no. I use #Forgejo, #codeberg and #vscodium. As your AI could have figured out, if it actually were kind of “intelligent” ;)
