- andreacavagna 4y agoI don't want to see the post just from the PostHog side, which is biased by definition. VSCode and Insomnia(https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/pull/5416 https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/pull/5416) taken as electron-based App examples are doing the same with an opt-out telemetry. As said by them: "Visual Studio Code collects telemetry data, which is used to help understand how to improve the product. For example, this usage data helps to debug issues, such as slow start-up times, and to prioritize new features" What are your thoughts on that?
- jjgreen 4y agoWell I wouldn't touch VSCode with a shitty stick, and this sort of unpleasantness makes me glad of that decision. Not even the nosey bunch that make Go could persuade people of "opt-out" telemetry, truly horrible. But it rather sounds that you have made up your mind already, no?
- andreacavagna 4y agoNo decision at all has been made for the OSS project. I'm not a fan of VScode, I'm a proud JetBrains user. I'm only trying to have a landscape on this fact, Thanks for your thoughts btw
