… because official vscode binaries are proprietary, released under EULA and include tracking components
official vscode(oss) binaries still have tracking, they’re not properly configured and come without any marketplace. (arch ships a config file with openvsix though)
vscodium comes without tracking and pre-configured with openvsix marketplace, and also provides it’s own branding.
There’s the base vs code source code, which microsoft takes, adds a bunch of tracking, compiles it, and distributes that binary. If you compiled vs code yourself from source, you would not get the same executable.
A bit like chrome, because i’m pretty sure chrome isn’t open source, chromium is. Could be wrong on that.
It should be VIM
No one comes back from VIM.
Those who say they have are dirty liars… or have it paused in the background.
…or eventually convert to the cult of Emacs.
When I use Emacs, it’s with Evil.
Kate?
I use emacs as my lemmy client
i always end up just going back to vscodium.
liked Helix quite a lot more but still switched back after a while
Neovim plugin+vscodium/vscode are great
@vox @Kinglink why not vscode?

@vox really!! I thought that vscode open source
yes, but vscode’s source code is still released under an open-source license. (that’s what vscodium and code-oss are built from)

Pfff. Try joe editor, then. It’s a Wordstar clone. For those of us that loved Wordstar, it’s as much as a home to us as vi/vim is.
I successfully moved to NeoVim
5x ESC (for good measure), then type :q!
Layers upon layers of vimception!
Good god do I love VIM. For work I wish my regular windows notepad was vim…
