Tinder's paid tiers have a similar feature, "only show me to people I've liked" or some such. In practice it just crushes your match flow, and presumably creates a paradox wherein two users with that setting enabled will

I may have read too much into the wording of your description there, my apologies. Still, who you're shown to and how often is very much algorithmic on existing platforms. People with high rankings are typically shown first and thus ge

Ceding control to algorithms is dangerous, though. It kills the human element, the magic that could've happened if only you were given a shot. Algorithms make assumptions that are often wrong, and if the platform is prevalent enough, y

A system that effectively marginalizes half the population into a dating underclass isn't really a solution. If anything it just creates more problems like resentment further down the line. Not to mention how such a system would even h

To answer my own question: no difference in terms of telemetry. Both pull from MS source and are prebuilt, so there should be no telemetry in either. This explains it well: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium#why In c

Is there any difference between this and the version in Arch's community repo?[0] Obviously VSCodium appears to target more distros. From my experience code (Arch) is entirely debranded, so I can't imagine telemetry was left in.

While it feels odd to be advocating surveillance, a massive network of UAVs equipped with infrared imaging would be very useful here. Have that same network double as forest fire early warning, and it'd probably pay for itself.
