    Those that truly dislike MS and telemetry won’t.

    If I’m using non-free it is Jet Brains.

    I tend to use Kate, KDevelop.

    MS still slurping code into Copilot from Github and telemetry in VSCode.

      MS still slurping code into Copilot from […] telemetry in VSCode.

      Would you happen to have a source for that? At a cursory glance, it looks like VSCode only does that if you’re using Copilot, but if you don’t have the extension installed they aren’t.

    I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.

      Google is also one of the most prolific contributors to Linux, and was the #3 corporate contributor in 2022. If you’re avoiding everything Google had a hand in you literally can’t use any GNU/Linux.
