Also some fun takeaways: it also makes external calls to azure to load configuration and stays silent after updating for 2 weeks before showing warnings.

Moq is unusable. Needs to be forked or repoaced. Time to switch to NSubstitute.

Holy shit. This is so bad. That's my entire September gone... I actually fought internally for my company to donate to this and a couple of other projects, but I guess this one is off the donation list at this point.

What, they think commercial products don't contain malware? Windows contains malware, under the deceptive name of “telemetry”, and I don't see any businesses complaining too loudly about that.

Your mode of recourse is much better there vs relying on someone's good will.

Only if you're a billion-dollar company. Otherwise, Microsoft DGAF about your telemetry-related objections.

Ok. Well that's a conversation worth having, and we are more than having it here on lemmy, but I'm speaking to the difficulties that normal Joe developers will now face because of apprehension about open source.
