Check out VSCodium, which is open source telemetryless binaries of VSCode
Edit: Nevermind, it seems you already use it
I appreciate the thought!
As far as I’ve tested it, vscodium doesn’t support the same remote extensions that vscode does, it’s very silly.
That's simply due to the repository VSCodium uses to pull extensions from (in the name of using open source extensions). Other (proprietary) extensions can be installed by downloading the .vsx file and installing manually. In most cases, though, open source alternatives to proprietary extensions exist.
While this workaround exists, it breaks Microsoft's Visual Studio Marketplace terms of use: https://aka.ms/vsmarketplace-ToU :/
