Description

The software industry needs to equip users with the tools necessary to have confidence in the code they encounter online, especially since many websites offer static content that poses minimal risk when downloaded. Nonetheless, certain websites provide controls and applications that, when downloaded and executed on a user's machine, can introduce significant risks. Unlike packaged software, which often relies on branding and reputable sales channels to ensure its legitimacy, such assurances are lacking for code shared over the Internet. Furthermore, the Internet does not offer any verification regarding the identity of the software developer, nor does it ensure that any downloaded software remains unaltered from its original state. While browsers can alert users to the potential hazards associated with downloading any content, they lack the capability to confirm the authenticity of the code being presented. Therefore, a more proactive strategy is essential to transform the Internet into a dependable platform for software distribution, ensuring that users can safely navigate and utilize the resources available to them. This initiative could significantly enhance user confidence and safety in the digital environment.

Description

The source code for Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is available as open source under the MIT license, yet the downloadable version of the product is subject to a different license that is not considered free and open-source software (FLOSS) and includes telemetry features. To provide an alternative, the VSCodium project was created, allowing users to avoid the hassle of downloading and building from the source code by offering pre-built binaries. This project utilizes specialized build scripts that fetch Microsoft's VSCode repository, execute the necessary build commands, and subsequently upload the finished binaries to GitHub releases, all of which are licensed under the MIT license and have telemetry features disabled. For users on Mac OS X Mojave, if you encounter the message “App can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software” when you first try to open VSCodium, you can simply right-click the application and select Open, which should only be necessary the first time you launch it on that operating system. Additionally, comprehensive documentation is available for anyone looking to transition from Visual Studio Code, as well as for addressing various issues that may arise during use of VSCodium. This ensures users have access to all the guidance they need for a smooth experience.
