Looks like the monthly “people absolutely lose their minds over VS Code telemetry”. The same people would then be complaining if VS Code crashed constantly from bugs that they also never report in place of no telemetry.

This rediculous false dichotomy of "if not for excessive telemetry it would be crashy" is so beyond reason. If it crashes just pop up the crash reporter and prompt the user with a button to send the crash report in. Done. No ethical issues there.

But no apparantly you think microsoft needs a constant faucet if your information to prevent crashes. Golly i wonder how developers managed before said faucets.
