[12:53] schestowitz Some 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. [12:53] schestowitz I generally found that you write books and anything I found online was consistent with this. [12:53] schestowitz It'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.

[12:53] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-en.wikipedia.org | Raspberry Pi OS - Wikipedia [12:54] schestowitz Wikipedia is a waste of time where PR agents 'game' and 'guard' pages.

M$ is not just hostile but [12:55] Techrights-sec agressive and hostile. [12:55] Techrights-sec Yep. But that it is the plaground of PR agencies needs to be mentioned again [12:55] Techrights-sec and again and again. People forget, because they wish Wikipedia were [12:55] Techrights-sec actually any good. [12:55] Techrights-sec See "Gell-Mann" amnesia. [12:57] schestowitz I 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 weekend [12:58] Techrights-sec No agressive response is needed, just a qualified comment, IMO. [12:59] 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 the [12:59] schestowitz user.[10] A lesser issue that has bothered some users is that on every run of apt update, the Raspbery Pi will send a request to packages.microsoft.com and thereby reveals the IP address for potential use in tracking or marketing efforts. " [12:59] schestowitz i have just made a copy in IRC log of the current text as it'll change over time [12:59] Techrights-sec The paragraph also misses that the change was made via a sneaky [12:59] Techrights-sec post-installation script and not in the normal file manifest. ● Feb 06 [13:00] Techrights-sec https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Raspberry_Pi_OS&oldid=1005191006#Microsoft_Repository_Controversy [13:00] Techrights-sec That is the link to that particular revision.
