@EclipseFdn This is great news! #EclipseTheia now emerges as a true #OpenSource and vendor-neutral alternative to #VisualStudioCode. Combine it with the #OpenVSX extension registry, and you have a strong ecosystem owned by its community.
The #OpenVSX Registry’s public REST API helps developers provide users with access to #VSCode extensions, helping them add value to their solutions. Our white paper explores the benefits of this #opensource marketplace: https://hubs.la/Q02d31dr0

hubs.la@underlap @ascott I'd be interested to hear your view of it too, Glyn, if you have the time. :)
My thoughts, for what they're worth: All my writing is done in #Neovim, but I like having a second option around. I have #VSCode and would like to switch to #VSCodium, but wasn't sure if the plugins would be a deal-breaker.
I took a look just now, and it looks doable! I respect the effort that has gone into it and #OpenVSX. They can't exorcise *all* the demons, but they're doing what they can.
PSA, VSCode / VSCodium C# opt-out telemetry
The v2.0 update to the C# extension silently installed a dependency, the .NET Runtime Install Tool extension, that has #telemetry enabled by default.
#Microsoft pushed the update to #VSCode users in early August, and it reached #OpenVSX / #VSCodium users a month later.
There is no indication that the dependency respects the `telemetry.enableTelemetry` setting. You can opt out:
"dotnetAcquisitionExtension.enableTelemetry": false
But personally, I've chosen to uninstall the Ionide, C#, and .NET Runtime Install Tool extensions.
Opt-out is not consent.
