- toyg 2y agoHyperbole kills the meaning of words, to the point that people stop taking them seriously. You're doing a disservice to "malware" here. Yes, VSCode wants to know everything you do in that app, but it's not like it will keylog everything you do and steal your credit card.
- meiraleal 2y agoThat's no hyperbole. Do you know what a malware is? If you do, you know that a text editor that collects telemetry is a type of malware, period. There is no meaning discussing if they are logging every thing but if they can. If they can, it is a malware. They can.
- wyclif 2y agoYou know about VSCodium, right? No telemetry.
