VSCode config to disable annoyances – telemetry, notifications, welcome pages

Many of the proprietary extensions have license terms that forbid use with anything other than the official vs code binaries. For example from the c# extension:

> INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. You may only use the C# Extension for Visual Studio Code with Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio or Xamarin Studio software to help you develop and test your applications.

If you don't care about the license restrictions you can add the offical extension store to VSCodium and it might work.

I don't think this applies to Copilot as its a subscription, but it does for Pylance, Live Share, Remote and related, and the new data science one.

Jesus Christ. .net core isn't open source, it's a set of trapjaws pretending to be.

I really need to learn Kotlin sooner rather than later.

This license only applies to the compiled/packaged extension delivered via the extension marketplace. The source code to this VSCode extension is available on Github and is under the permissive MIT License (as is the .net runtime).

If you are looking for evidence that .net core is maliciously pretending to be open source to move to a language reliant on a JVM, I don't believe this would qualify.
