It's a snap problem, not actually a VS Code issue. Just another reason why snap is bad.
I like that the article excerpt clearly says that it’s simply about files not being removed when the trash bin is emptied, and it’s a problem specific to the Canonical snap system.. Yet every single other comment in here rants about Microsoft spyware. Not many people read beyond the headline, lol.
So you're saying it's Canonical spyware?
I can't really tell if you're joking or not but no, I'm saying that it's a bug, and at no point anything is sent off your computer
Just generally piling on that snaps suck.
No, he's saying that canonical's snap sucks
