I would actually support this if the code was generated by the Copilot plugin, but this is just adding a blanket “Sent from my iPhone” on all code commits wtf.
Shameless plug for codium: https://vscodium.com/
Afaik, they only remove telemetry and branding. Although they are lagging behind a little, so this change didn’t reach vscodium: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/2823
On the flip side, it pushed me to move away from vscode. Whoever did this, thanks.
Beyond VSCodium (which I have switched to since this news), what are everyone’s favorite alternatives that are easy to switch to?
I say easy to switch to because no one is jumping to Vim or whatever on this news. I don’t mean to offend the deeply Linuxed, but they aren’t.
Maybe KDE’s Kate. It’s available for everything with a mouse and keyboard and works just fine. Not as ultra fancy as Codium, but if you need a quick and easy text editor that isn’t all Electron bells and whistles… Kate.
Lmao, of course nobody is jumping to Vim. We’re all on NeoVim now.
