Yes, but it's you who usually manage those mirrors, not some guy deciding which mirrors your apt must query now and pushing it in a regular update without notice.
I don't care if it's Microsoft or some obscure Chinese repo, but I think nobody should mess with your mirrors list or trust their keys in this way.
- derision 6y agoIf you don't want "some guy" deciding which APT mirrors you use, then don't use "some guy's" linux distribution
- severino 6y agoNo, it doesn't work like that. You pay for something and you complain. Even if you don't. And if the guy doesn't like criticism, he can quit at any time.
- politelemon 6y ago> Yes, but it's you who usually manage those mirrors, That's not true for most people.
