In my opinion Microsoft doesn't deserve that the FLOSS community advertises in some way their products.

VSCodium is still a MS product. Advertising it or contributing to it still helps MS to build a better image and a better product.

True, true, MS may contribute to open-source but mostly knows how to *exploit* open-source.

The vast majority of their products are still proprietary and not human friendly. And I think this is getting worse.

Let's not fall for the PR.

@t0k I''ve graduated from "is there an open source alternative" to "is there a noncommercial alternative"

You might be interested in https://trade-free.org, they have a directory full of trade-free goods and services at https://directory.trade-free.org.

Trade-free means you don't need to trade your data (tracking), attention (ads), money (paywalled features), freedom (walled gardens), etc. for using a service.
