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.
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.
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.
