    long ago i shifted to vscodium, a packaged version of only the open-source base of vscode that provides most but not all of the available extensions. for two reasons: so that i didn’t leak telemetry to m$, and so that i wouldn’t get used to features that aren’t open source. it’s available in a lot of package managers, mac/windows as well as linux

      Ahh I should have figured there’s a “-ium” version of VSCode too. I’ll have to check it out and see if the Julia extension works with it
