And yes, VSCode from this website includes tracking.
Though they clearly advertise this as "Free. Open source.". Which seems wrong to me.
In my opinion, it's based on open source code at best.
- ShabbosGoy 8y agoReally? You’re going to complain about an Electron app like VSCode? AMP is way worse, and Microsoft has made a lot of strides in OSS, for example by acquiring GitHub.
- jraph 8y agoI was just replying to the last paragraph. I haven't said anything else and please be assured I'm not going to complain. I'm not attacking Microsoft and I'm not endorsing google. I actually agree with the rest of the parent's comment and with amp being bad. I do think selling anything as open source when it's not in a subtle way is shady and I won't comment on which is worse, I'm not in a position to compare. And VScode being an Electron app isn't relevant to me. I also won't comment on Microsoft buying github, I'm not a fortune teller. As far as I'm concerned, I chose not to host my stuff on github anyway from the begining, since the platform is not open source. I won't rely on any feature of gitlab that is not in the community edition for the same reasons. I which gitlab sold support and hosting instead of proprietary software.
