vscodium: Telemetry breakthrough since version 1.52.1

Describe the bug I’ve got 2 VScoduim installs. v1.51.0 behaves fairly silent, but v1.52.1, installed on a new laptop, sends telemetry despite being configured the same way as the old one.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Close all applications, disable networking.
  2. Start # tcptracer-bpfcc
  3. Start VSCodium, open a directory, click some files.
  4. Enable networking
  5. Repeat step 3

Expected behavior Just being a text/code editor/IDE

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: KUbuntu 20.04
  • Architecture x64
  • Version 1.52.1

Additional context

I’ve used my config from https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/407#issuecomment-678683617 that has been pretty fine on v1.51.0, but now I see the following IP-addresses involved:

C  112724 Chrome_ChildIOT  4  192.168.1.4      198.41.30.195    60286  443

OK, EclipseFoundationInc - probably searching for packages… But:

C  112371 Chrome_ChildIOT  4  192.168.1.4      172.217.19.110   52482  443

There are similar bugreports: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/364 https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/304

As for my https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/407 - it has been fixed for some time, but…

Thanks in advance guys!
