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.

It was removed a month later anyway. Now VSCode can be installed through the main Raspbian repo.

For the overwhelmingly paranoid, there is one further possibility: if Microsoft were to make packages available in its repo with the same names as packages in the standard raspbian.raspberripi.org repository specified in /etc/apt/sources.list, it could override the "real" system packages with others of its own making.

I love the "overly paranoid" label, when you're talking about a repo than can alter "real system packages".

In what world is this OK?

That’s not the same as their claim that Microsoft software was pre installed and has access to your system which is what I’m arguing was incorrect.
