Will using VSCodium instead of VSCode give me any large advantages?
Will using VSCodium instead of VSCode give me any large advantages?
I used to use Atom as my primary code editor, and it was really easy to disable telemetry in it (just two clicks). Now that Atom is no longer supported, I decided on using VSCode or VSCodium. However, I don't really know which one to choose.
- How much privacy am I losing? I also use Pycharm for Python most of the time, so I am wondering which would be the less privacy invasive one.
- I also heard that VSCode still sends telemetry, is that true (in the sense that it is sending more than a "no telemetry" flag)?
- Also, is it possible to make vscode.dev run without telemetry?
- Will VSCodium support C++ and CMake with compilation, or will I need to use VSCode for that?
(I know there is a "Code - OSS", but I just need to know about VSCode and VSCodium)

There's a fork of atom called pulsar and its being worked on still.
That's a terrible name as it's used for other software and totally disconnected from the project it's continuing.
I'd have gone with the name Atomiser.
I know this is a very random comment!
This is what I'm using now that atom is dead and it feels like I'm still using atom. Highly recommend if you're a former atom user.
Yup, Pulsar feels exactly like Atom, which I've enjoyed for years. Portable mode still works, bonus. My main complaint is the massive file size of install (over 1GB, no lighter option), which seems excessive and unnecessary for my use.
