@sue@glasgow.social This really bothers me. I currently use the Codium fork of VS Code, because I find it less annoying than any of the other IDEs available to me. But I really don't trust it. It's built on a tottering pile of unstable JavaScript packages, so it's really difficult to form an informed opinion as to whether it's trustworthy, even before folk start pulling this sort of egregious shit.
My own fault for using something #MicroSoft has a finger in.

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot it's mindblowing that they had such a hugely popular ide and are demolishing trust in it so recklessly

@sue@glasgow.social I think I'm going to be forced back to very basic feature-free text editors.
