Thank you, George. I am not a Raspberry Pi user, so I wasn't sure what

not the end of the world.

I think you responded off-list to a message, as I don't see it in
my inbox.

If you are talking about the controversy with the Microsoft Repo
being added to people's RPi's: (a) it's definitely not ruined
forever, (b) it's easily reversed if you don't want it, and (c) it
only affects systems running the official Raspberry Pi OS.

To summarize the issue: Pi users have been finding that the
Microsoft VSCode repository has been silently added to their
systems, even if they aren't using VSCode itself. There are no
packages from the repository being installed.  The main issue that
people have with the repository being added is that Microsoft's
GPG keys are added to their system automatically without their
consent, and even though they aren't using the repository, the
system will ping Microsoft every time you add, remove or update
your packages (or check for updates to the packages).

As I mentioned above, this is pretty easily fixed be removing the
repository file from your system, and creating a un-writeble repo
file in it's place so it doesn't get re-added.  (Here's a video
that talks about the issue, and how to fix it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuYPIohzo2Y
). The other option
is to use a different distribution (like Manjaro) that doesn't
have / won't add the Microsoft repository.  There is a discussion
thread about this on the RaspberryPi forums here:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63=302591=Microsoft



So, IMO, yes there is an issue.  However, it's not the end of the
world or the RaspberryPi was we know it.  There are plenty of ways
to deal with it.

Hey Kevin
Can you give us a link to some of these articles, because I
have no idea what your talking about and doing a quick search
didn't result in any information either.

Thanks

I've seen some articles and headlines that appear
extreme, but I am not knowledgeable about Raspberry Pis.
Maybe someone out that is and can do a show or two on the
controversy, is Raspberry Pi ruined forever, are
there alternatives worth trying instead?

If you are on Mastodon (and if not, why aren't you?), make you follow HPR
and boost the toots, just one a day for the daily offering.
