I know that feeling. Few years back someone asked me if I accept Bitcoin as donation for an SDK I wrote https://github.com/namaggarwal/splitwise
It felt so good that I went ahead and create a wallet and he donated me some fractional BTC. It wasn't much at that time but it motivated me a lot.
Opt-out telemetry (usually) violates GDPR. This issue is being discussed at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/47284
VSCodium is recommended as an alternative https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium
Still, I wish more companies would donate to support the massive amount of open-source software and libraries we all use every day. I understand that making a company pay for something free is a challenge. But come on, they can pay vast amount of money for getting support for open-source softwares, support they will probably never use... :)

asked what kind of data is collected.

I've been trying to encourage more "Charityware" for software [0]. My software is free and open source (MIT license) [1] but I also sell it for $5 and donate $3.50 of every sale to a cost-effective charity. My goal is to increase donations to the charity, and asking people for donations wouldn't be as effective. My software now has generated almost over $9,000 in donations.
Personally, every purchase of my software feels rewarding. It's probably not as great as a regular donation, but it's a close second. Furthermore, since my software is pay-what-you-want (with a minimum of $5) people have been often giving more than the minimum. That really feels like a donation.

I still remember the first donation I received from my project [1] back in 2017, yeah it felt amazing. The person who donated also sent me an email with subject "much thanks".

Congrats and thanks! you inspired me to add a ko-fi dontaion link to my github project https://github.com/naikus/svg-gauge
Can relate. I only received one donation for my side project[0] but more than money. It gave me some motivation to continue to work on it, thinking that it's so useful for someone out there that he/she actually gave money for that.

I have been lucky enough to have a monthly GitHub sponsor (even two at one point), as well as several one-time donations through Ko-Fi, all for my Gemini browser, Amfora.
It's pretty exciting to actually be paid for open source, and helps motivate me to continue developing it, knowing there are users who genuinely care about it out there. Although to be honest, I've found the compliments I've gotten over it more rewarding and motivating than any donations. If the donations significantly increased somehow than I think that might flip, but either way I'm enjoying working on it.

I am receiving $337 per month as of now for https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs
Not something to be proud of if including the time spent to evolve the project.
