I just checked, and the only telemetry setting that I have in my VS code config is `"telemetry.telemetryLevel": "off"`. I have the non-free version installed (i.e. not Codium). I installed OpenSnitch and started running it, and it caught a grand total of 7 requests over a few minutes of coding: 2 to marketplace.visualstudio.com (one to port 443 and one to 52), presumably which occurred during startup to check for updates to my extensions, and then 5 to a subdomain of vo.msecnd.net (split across ports 443 and 53). I hadn't heard of this domain before, but from a quick google, I found it listed in the VS Code documentation as their CDN (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/network https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/network). Overall, this seems...not that crazy? I'm not sure if they just are less egregious on Linux machines or if the CDN is just where they send the analytics to, but it doesn't really seem like much sketchy stuff was happening behind my bacl.
