The amount of data that VSCode collects dwarfs this though.
- mmastrac 4y agoIt's a single toggle to turn off all telemetry (anonymized, limited to feature usage - no reporting of source files/projects that I've seen), which takes a few seconds to configure at install time as it's literally a menu item (Code > Preferences > Telemetry): https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/telemetry https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/telemetry You can also dump all possible telemetry events at the command-line.

- ranguna 4y agoYou can, just install vscodium
- afroboy 4y agoThan we are talking about different product.
- mmastrac 4y agoFTA: > Next, I wanted to see what would happen when I disabled telemetry. After some activity, I checked the log, and found no events were logged. That is good.
- woojoo666 4y agoOne paragraph after: > The absence of logged events doesn’t mean that data is not being sent though! A more accurate way to see what is being sent out is to monitor your outgoing network traffic and analyze the packets. But unfortunately the author doesn't do that A bit further down they say > It looks like you cannot shut telemetry off 100%. These settings will opt you of most data sharing scenarios; but not all data sharing scenarios And even VSCodium doesn't take it all out > Even though we do not pass the telemetry build flags (and go out of our way to cripple the baked-in telemetry), Microsoft will still track usage by default.
