Okay, it may sound like a personal issue, but I disagree with the privacy practices in developer tools. And I'm not talking about VSCode issue, but about other more elemental development tools. For example, the privacy policy of npmjs.com, pkg.go.dev (Google's privacy policy lol), hub.docker.com, and these public registries for developers, have some questionable privacy practices as well.

I wanna know your opinions about.

Well slightly different topic but I have to accept that damn Google 'privacy' thing to be able to develop for the vr headset that I paid for. We really need stronger laws to handle these practices.

Yeah! You see it? At the end of the day, everyone, even if they want to become independent from these invasive policies, must accept and eat these policies.

Well I didn't accept it and will purchase another headset.

For my work I use different accounts. But I know some developers wouldn't accept it for their work either. They only use foss. But ya you need enough leverage and the right market.
