Podcast interview

[ultimike]

Hello,

I'd like to interview one of the maintainers of VSCodium for a podcast that I host.

I have a Drupal-centric podcast - many folks in the Drupal community us VSCode for PHP development, and I'd like to talk to someone about differences, advantages, and other related topics of VSCodium.

I recently emailed @daiyam directly, but haven't heard back :(

@ultimike Sorry, I'm not always up to date with my secondaries email addresses...

The differences are:

• disabled telemetry
• wider support of OS/Installer
• use of OpenVSX

The advantages:

• disabled telemetry
• still supporting Win7, just added support to ppc64le (for remote hosts)

The disadvantages:

• lack of support for some extensions, primarily the proprietary ones from Microsoft (https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/wiki/Extensions-Compatibility)
• lack of integration with GitHub

No problem about the email stuff.

Thanks for the info - would you like to discuss all of this on the podcast?
