Raspberry Pi OS has turned into spyware for M$:
https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspberrypi-sys-mods/commit/655cad5aee6457b94fc2336b1ff3c1104ccb4351

And yes, they add M$'s repository key to APT's trusted database and add their repo to APT's repo list.
Without asking.
Or informing you via a NEWS file.

So now every time you do "apt[itude] update", M$ will know about it.

This isn't the first time that the #RaspberryPi Foundation changed your sources.list without asking: https://x0f.org/@FreePietje/103799438252038745

Fuck that.

Some people out there might want to take a look at this...

Raspberry Pi (at Least Raspbian GNU/Linux and/or Raspberry Pi Foundation) Appears to Have Been Infiltrated by Microsoft and There Are Severe Consequences

http://techrights.org/2021/02/02/microsoft-pi/

Run to check:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list

And before people start saying Rpi's are for "educational" use and that's why it includes the repo for Visual Studio, there are plenty of alternatives. This is nonsense.

"#Microsoft repo secretly installed on #RaspberryPi OS"

https://www.cyberciti.biz/linux-news/heads-up-microsoft-repo-secretly-installed-on-all-raspberry-pis-linux-os/

Please be accurate when putting blame on the shady addition of M$ repo to #RaspberryPi's.

Raspbian(.org) was started by Mike Thompson (long gone) and DD 'plugwash', who is still maintaining the archive which provides most packages for #RPi, after all these years. Plugwash deserves nothing but praise for his monumental work.

The fuck up is all RaspberryPi Foundation's (RPF) 'work' and is in raspberrypi-sys-mods package (post-install script), from the raspberrypi.org repo, and part of RaspiOS.

"Even after you're vaccinated, social distancing and wearing masks are going to be essential." This is bad messaging. It may discourage people at low-risk for serious covid health complications (which in truth is a lot of people!) from getting vaccinated. https://reason.com/2021/02/05/jen-psaki-masks-social-distancing-essential-vaccination/ https://twitter.com/robbysoave/status/1357716928375234561 #reason
