VS Codium has tried, and not succeeded, to disable all telemetry[0][1]. This is with direct access to and patches to source code and all the knobs set to off.
If the direction of upstream is diametrically opposed to downstream, it is nearly impossible to prevent these issues.

- Beltalowda 4y agoNeither of those issues describe any telemetry, unless you define "telemetry" as "uses any internet connectivity that's not even to Microsoft's servers".
- btdmaster 4y agoIs the default npm registry not operated by Microsoft? GitHub definitely is, and that was one of the pings.
- Beltalowda 4y agoIt's probably some feature; "runs npm when I navigate its sources (js and ts files)" almost certainly is. There are basically no details at all other than "I saw it did something with the network, therefore telemetry!"
