I used to use Atom as my primary code editor, and it was really easy to disable telemetry in it (just two clicks). Now that Atom is no longer supported, I decided on using VSCode or VSCodium. However, I don’t really know which one to choose.

  • How much privacy am I losing? I also use Pycharm for Python most of the time, so I am wondering which would be the less privacy invasive one.
  • I also heard that VSCode still sends telemetry, is that true (in the sense that it is sending more than a “no telemetry” flag)?
  • Also, is it possible to make vscode.dev run without telemetry?
  • Will VSCodium support C++ and CMake with compilation, or will I need to use VSCode for that?

(I know there is a “Code - OSS”, but I just need to know about VSCode and VSCodium)

    That must be lies, Microsoft promised they would continue to support Atom so that must be true!
