From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

VScode is the epitome of the EEE strategy. The core product is open-source, but it's filled to the brim with tracking and the official extensions have DRM. Yes, there's DRM on your python LSP.
Anyone who gives a shit should look for alternatives right away. The problem is just that there aren't any that are as easy to set up.
I think, I should switch to Codium for personal projects. Let's hope there is a binary package on Gentoo.
I mean, you probably already have electron compiled, no?
No, I don't. I saw it on Flathub; will install it from there.
Shouldn't using VSCodium solve the telemetry problem?
Aren't there FOSS linters which work for VSCodium?
Make sure that the addons can only be used by VScode. There's vscodium for now, but microsoft could easily shut that down.
Thank god I do not use python.
