schestowitzSome months ago I did some checks online, on at least a couple of occasions, to check your background. I think that's just common sense given the nature of access we've granted you. I am pretty sure we were targeted by law enforcement over a decade ago.Feb 06 12:53
schestowitzI generally found that you write books and anything I found online was consistent with this.Feb 06 12:53
schestowitzIt's sad that this kind of "surfing" or "stalking" is necessary, but nowadays you do need to know who to trust and who not to trust. So I hope you can relate.Feb 06 12:53

schestowitzWikipedia is a waste of time where PR agents 'game' and 'guard' pages. If you want to play along with them, knock yourself out ;-) I saw how EPO does the same. At best it's costing them in "PR bills"Feb 06 12:54

Techrights-secYep.  But that it is the plaground of PR agencies needs to be mentioned againFeb 06 12:55

schestowitzI have just read that wikipedia section slowly and it's not so bad that it merits an 'aggressive' response, I've seen worse spin, from two Canonical/Ubuntu people before the weekendFeb 06 12:57
Techrights-secNo agressive response is needed, just a qualified comment, IMO.Feb 06 12:58
schestowitz"Because Visual Studio Code can only be downloaded from a Microsoft server,[8] Raspberry Pi OS' raspberrypi-sys-mods package created the files enabling a Microsoft repository without prompting the user and with the source code held back for nearly two weeks.[9] This means Microsoft has access to every updated Pi computer running Raspberry Pi OS with rights to install any package, run any program, or edit any file without prompting theFeb 06 12:59
