Raspbian is shady, they silently put a microsoft repo overnight, making fleets of raspberry devices ping and give telemetry to microsoft without your consent! including installing their GPG key!

- lproven 4y agoAIUI this happens to everyone using VSCode on Linux. VSCode is one of the most popular editors around now: https://www.techtarget.com/searchsoftwarequality/news/252496429/Microsoft-VS-Code-Winning-developer-mindshare https://www.techtarget.com/searchsoftwarequality/news/252496... It's Microsoft's fault, not Raspbian or the RasPi Foundation. Everyone loves VSCode for some reason. So RPF provided it. You don't get anything much for free from Microsoft without strings attached.
