It's NSA/Microsoft walled garden only. This isn't open source - github does not count as open source.

Runs on "linux" (aka NSA/Microsoft Windows) isn't the point here. The source code isn't available outside of the NSA/Microsoft walled garden, seemingly anywhere.

Looks like it's still stuck in the NSA/Microsoft walled garden. Might as well be using Windows.

by themusicgod1 5y ago
It shouldn't have been on NSA/Microsoft Github in the first place. That repo should have been abandoned in 2018. Other, non NSA/Microsoft forks should continue development where they left off. And since no one else seems to

Or how about people just use GNU instead of GAFAM crapware? Turn "silently installing things in the background" off by default and maintain user control over all their hardware. It's not like Richard Stallman hasn't bee

Don't use NSA/Microsoft's computer to store your data. I'm not sure how much more clear cut this can be. NSA/Microsoft is a persistent, global adversary and should be treated as one not as some kind of standard.

Sorry, using NSA/Microsoft Github is not a "best practice". This project should be dead in the water if that's their starting point.

...look into / lock / delete them. This gives microsoft the ability to all but stop work at companies who use private repos who compete with them, and/or delete critical repositories. Hope those companies have backups.
