But only if you trust Microsoft to honour that setting indefinitely, and not for example to just change it back later or hide something shady behind another option instead. At this point, a lot of people understandably don't.
Sure, and then you could check again every time there is an update. But why bother, when there is already an uncontaminated version readily available to solve this problem for you?
Technically you don't, just like any other software, but the risk is surely significantly lower since everyone including Microsoft is saying that what Microsoft is doing is taking that same code and then adding its contaminants on top.
Sure, but almost all software is not produced by a giant corporation with a well-established track record of pushing user-hostile changes via updates, including overriding or reverting the user's explicitly chosen privacy settings, and including taking such actions in the recent past.
Microsoft is not on your side when it comes to privacy and data security. It has made this abundantly clear both by its actions and by the statements of its senior leadership. However much anyone here might like VS Code, it is still a Microsoft product, while the alternative under discussion is not.
I'm genuinely surprised so many people seem to be leaping to the defence of VS Code here. Why? It's the same application, just made worse by Microsoft's telemetry (and the accompanying infamously opaque privacy policies). Unless you need one of the extensions that is tied specifically to the official Microsoft version, why wouldn't you go with the safer option?
I'm not defending MS just curious. Safer option is not convinent by any means. The fork linked is also open to malicious behaviour. The maintainer can sneak in any code, issues we seen similar to npm.
So if you feel this way about MS then you cant be on Windows. Apple have also been known to report users location secretley on iPhones. I'm on OSX and i dont entirely trust them either. Theres too many holes here, really have to patch them all if this is the stance we are taking.

I agree that the modern spyware infesting our operating systems is also a significant concern. I disagree that having more than one problem to deal with is a good argument for not trying to solve the one at hand.
Do you guys turn JS off completely while surfing the net because you don't like someone analyzing your uses? It's hard to imagine what your comfortable life would look like.
It has support, but definitely not first class - I just tried a short time ago, and it wasn't possible to invoke functions while debugging; GitHub issue here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-go/issues/2655.
Point to note : "It was our route design that essentially helped us decouple the bus location updates and travel time computation for each bus, thereby reducing any redundant calculations"
Is it possible to create a tutorial showing features end-to-end (using CLI / Code generation)? I have seen a couple of high quality tutorial series on web - but they are advocating usage of 1.18 version.
Sure, what kind of tutorials are you interested in? Written form or video? We're thinking about doing a video walkthrough series potentially in live form.
Written form please. This saves time in many ways, such as searching for certain chunks of information when trying to form an early opinion on how this product fits one's need. I went through your dev documentation today and the organization is good. I wish you would present the more detailed booking example in the same conversational style as the shorter hello world example at start. When a developer sees the first page with the bullets of interesting features (service discovery, load balancing, etc), they would want to get a broader picture of the architectural approaches combining these features (through coding examples). Interesting work. Thanks for creating it.
