I got this popup about rating my experience when programming Java in VSCode (v1.70.0) on Linux. The link takes you to research.net and the questions are pretty simple (rate from 1-10, would you recommend to friends? positive/negative feedback). I have never installed any extension, ever.

My question is if this is normal and if it happens to a lot o people, because in years that's the first time I see something like this and I wonder why VSCode would hand out a link to a site like research.net and not to a Microsoft site.

Also, is there a switch to turn off feedback questions like these or opt-out of such improvement campaigns?

Is there an official article or a blog post about this, somewhere?

These are the pages I refer to (Google)

There is an old issue in the VSCode repo where the authors mention that the Don't Show Again button was hidden under the gear icon.
