Installing raspbian image on new pi4. First apt update could not reach a microsoft source.

Im so happy my router caught it, and blocked it (dnscrypt with lists of domains to block like pi hole).

Very suprised that it was allowed in the apt sources list from official image.

Microsoft bought RedHat for a reason.

If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em. Jew tactics 101.

Microsoft bought a lot of Apple Macintosh related companies, to force them to abandon Mac:

Microsoft bought Bungie (makers of Halo) and made them stop making games come out on mac first.

Microsoft bought "Virtual PC" and made them stop making virtual PC emulators for mac.

Microsoft bought "Xamarin and its Android emulator" and made Xamarin stop making android emulators for mac.

Microsoft buys tons of critical things just to kill them off... but they did NOT buy RedHat trademark.

On April 1st (April Fools Day) Microsoft bought Umbuntu trademark to kill off Canonical Umbuntu!:

Maybe you are thinking of that April 1st news article?

This other shocking link is a real thing though :

Microsoft releases its own Linux for Windows:

IBM bought redhat, not Microsoft. Raspian has nothing to do with Redhat, it's based on Debian.

Where else do you expect to get VScode from?

The Raspberry Pi Foundation put it in there so you could get Visual Studio stuff from Microsoft. Apparently, some people think that mess of shit is a real IDE and use it for development.

Just remove it from sources.list

Edit your /etc/hosts on RPI (or add that domain to your Pi-Hole) sudo nano /etc/hosts

Add the following line: 0.0.0.0 packages.microsoft.com

Save and close the file in vim. Put Debian package on hold so that it will not install further updates: sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-sys-mods

Delete Microsoft’s GPG key using the rm command: sudo rm -vf /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg

Make sure new keys cannot be installed: sudo touch /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg

Next, write protect that file on Linux using the chattr command: sudo chattr +i /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg lsattr /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg
