Why isn't there a decently done code editor with VSCode level features but none of the spyware garbage? Isn't that what VS Codium is for?

VSCodium I think was abandoned. It was extremely buggy last time I used it. Either way it uses electron. Which I hate so much.

Sad to hear that. I really enjoyed VS Codium before I jumped full-time into Nova.

(Unsolicited plug: If you're looking for a Mac-native IDE, and your needs aren't too out-of-the-ordinary, Nova is worth a try. If nothing else, it's almost as fast as a TUI, and the price is fair.)

Two thoughts:

1. Try using pi-hole to block those particular endpoints via making DNS resolution fail; see if it still works if it can’t access the telemetry endpoints.

2. Their ridiculous tracking, disregard of the user preference to not send telemetry, and behavior on the Discord when you mentioned tracking says everything you need to know about the company. You cannot change them. If you don’t want to be tracked, then stay away from Bytedance.

It seems actively maintained, latest build on Flathub is from 3 hours ago.

Emacs still exists

So does vi.

Don't pay any attention to people giving you shit for using translation software. A lot of us sometimes forget that the whole world knows a little English and most of us native speakers have a ridiculous luxury in getting away with being two lazy to learn a few other languages.

Part of the problems with using LLMs for translation is precisely that they alter the tone and structure of what you give it, writing using the LLM cliches and style, and it's unsurprising people see that and just assume completely generated slop. It's unfortunate, and I would probably try and use LLMs if English wasn't my first language, but I don't think it's as simple as "using translation software", I've not seen…

my nipples explode with delight!

Is it just me or does the formatting of this feel like ChatGPT (numbered lists, "Key Takeaways", and just the general phrasing of things)? It's not necessarily an issue if you checked over it properly but if you did use it then it might be good to mention that for transparency, because people can tell anyway and it might feel slightly otherwise (or maybe you just have a similar writing style)

Yea, the core was written by me, i just used llm to fix my broken english.

I'd rather you write in broken English than filter it through an LLM. At least that way I know I'm reading the thoughts of a real human rather than something that may have its meaning slightly perturbed.

VSCode is extremely unsafe and you should only use it in a managed, corporate environment where breaches aren't your problem. This goes with any fork, as well.

If you signed a Nondisclosure agreement with your employer, and you use—without approval—a tool that sends telemetry, you may be liable for a breach of the NDA.

Why use pihole? Most OSes have a hosts file you can edit if you're just blocking one domain.
