Raspberry Pi 5: available now! We’ve been excited to see the response of early users to Raspberry Pi 5, and can’t wait to see what you do once you get your hands on it.
Yeah I’d like a source too because what they said makes no sense. The immature way they responded to criticism of someone they hired is a good reason to be turned off of the pi, no need to actually make up something ridiculous.
Thanks, that makes more sense. According to an article on ars it doesn’t actually install anything so I don’t see their problem. All they have to do is comment out the line or just use a different distribution.
I think the main problem is just screwing with the system like that without permission. I mean, I know I was pretty pissed off when I found a Microsoft repo in my sources one day. It’s not like it was a standard update or anything.
Can you support your claim? Raspberry py offers a Linux based computer and you can install whatever the hell you want on it.

I think they’re referring to that one time they installed a Microsoft repo on Raspbian without permission.

It was removed a month later anyway. Now VSCode can be installed through the main Raspbian repo.
No it was not. Maybe it was removed later, but definetely not after a month, I think I gave them ½ a year.

Are you saying they don’t anymore?
I honestly stopped caring about Raspberry Pi at all after that. And we have 7 of them.
I simply don’t trust them anymore.
Explain how adding a Microsoft repo that doesn’t actually install anything is the same as giving Microsoft access to your device?

Ha! I mean yeah Micro$oft is bad but honestly, VScode is so useful. Unless you’re a Vim hardcore VScode is the way to go imo.
