For those of you using #vscode / #vscodium and have disabled telemetry:
- Do you trust that code doesn't send any other info to #MSFT?
- Have you validated this with packet capturing/reviewing telemetry.log?
- Is it worth the effort of setting up vscodium as an alternate?
I'm exploring vscode/codium as an alternate to emacs, and I'm reasonably reassured by https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/telemetry, however, it IS #microsoft
I guess I'll use vscode for a while and review telemetry.log 1/2

@amolith the welcome message for nixnet xmpp mentions updates being finished in July, and you've on 20.12 now so that portion is probably out of date.
Just created an xmpp account on nixnet.xyz and I'm testing the waters before maybe spinning up my own instance to migrate a few friends out of GroupMe, WhatsApp, etc. Anybody want to add me to send test messages?

#introductions Hi there! 👋
I decided to join after half a year contemplating switching to FOSS and GNU/Linux - the whole whatsapp controversy finally pushed me!
I'm a complete Linux/GNU newbie and I hope that I can learn the inner workings of it all. - If you have any recommendations for learning resources please let me know! - Right now i'm using Linux Journey and YouTube videos
I am using Pop_OS! - I love it - but hope to move to Arch once I get the fundamentals down 👍
See ya! 😁

Does anyone have any interesting blogs that deal with command line programs and low powered machines? I used to love follow the blog of K. Mandla, which I did for years, but it's no longer there, and I miss it so.

I think I'm close to deleting WhatsApp now that my final group is leaving it. I am down to a handful of proprietary apps at this point and really closing in.
I left Google music for Tidal just for the convenience temporarily, but I'm starting to look at Funkwhale again. Anybody here have any experience with it? #askfosstodon #funkwhale #music
