vscodium VS Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is distributed under the MIT license, a permissive license that allows you to do anything with the source code. This license is recognised by the OSI as an Open Source license. And quite predictably, a few forks of VSCode exists. VSCodium seems to be the most popular.

Thanks, haven't tried it yet, but just found the relevant configuration settings described in the docs [0] and more detail on Stack Overflow [1].

A 1st party ad is still an ad, though in isolation I do I agree that it's quite mild all considered. With context however (this being Microsoft's doing, and all the AI/Adware/telemetry/darkpatterns they're cramming into everything), I share OP's derision for this development in a tool that has become a centerpiece for many developers workflows, dev environments, and ancillary (plugins) ecosystems.

Thankfully, for now at least, VSCode is MIT Licensed [0], source available [1], and if built from source it does not include CoPilot, Telemetry or MS' other crapware or branding. VS Codium [2] compiles this source for you without the cruft and makes those binaries/installers available [3] if like.

For those that like CoPilot, VSCodium even has a guide on how to add it to VSCodium/Source Built VSCode [4]

Notably absent are all of the remote debugging extensions and Copilot. This would be a deal-breaker for many.

Thanks, good spot.

So Mozilla, an organisation that commends itself for working to put control of the internet back in the hands of the people using it, [0] is creating a situation where the FOSS community needs to maintain its own 'cleansed' builds, akin to VS Code/VS Codium [1] and, to a lesser extent, Chrome/Chromium. [2] (The Chromium case is somewhat different; Google maintains both the FOSS Chromium builds and the non-Free Chrome builds).

4 years ago I commented that It's just non-stop with Mozilla, isn't it? They have the curious pairing of technical excellence, and a long history of awful non-technical decision-making. Little seems to have changed. [3]

I've been running vscodium for a couple of years now, and they rip out the MS specific stuff so no ChatGPT and so forth. I haven't noticed any slowdowns.

Maybe give it a try? https://vscodium.com/

And yet, this entire class of abuse is only possible because Microsoft refuse to implement any kind of permission management or sandboxing for extensions.
