visual studio code – How can I use VSCode without root access on linux?

Until a few updates ago, I was able to download a VSCode binary to my linux machine and just type:
./code

But now I get this error:
[1600:1018/090934.228389:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I’m aborting now. You need to make sure that …/VSCode-linux-x64/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

I don’t have or want root access.
