That is only realistic on linux. Everything else us just something you've rented.
Besides, you can always go for independent vscode clone. I don't know how good it is as i haven't tried it myself. I just know it exists.
- kodah 5y agoLinux may be the only kernel (and general class of operating systems) that is capable of robust transparency and control, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a common ideal among more general computer users. The argument I hear most frequently is that users are fairly oblivious to one or more of these points: - That data is collected - That you or your device can be identified from data - That data does not have an expiration - How the data is used (eg: multi-use, for troubleshooting, for marketing) There are multiple ways to democratize knowledge, but most ideal is having companies just be upfront and teaching engineers why it's important to stress building notifications and/or levers for these kinds of capabilities.
- trutannus 5y agoA lot of the people who care this much also use Linux, so this is somewhat of a moot point.
