FYI: on macOS you can’t even ship VPN software that uses the modern APIs outside of the app store for self-distribution. An ADP membership is required, full stop.

#32Seems that a developer of kernel level anticheat also was suspended. So not all is as bad.

#33Just got a Wireguard update on Windows a minute ago, so seems resolved?
I wouldn't install that update if I were you

#34lol, Microslop shooting themselves in the foot once again. At this point people will move to MacOS or Linux because so much damage to their brand can’t simply be ignored anymore.
I mean, we have been saying that exact thing for close to 30 years at this point.
Yet, they are still around, they are still deeply embedded in most businesses, and no matter how much they screw up, it just keeps going.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
The problem is that the social media companies have not been dealing with abusive posts of various sources. Governments can't take action against the bad posters are they are from another Government (and in some cases are employed by that government to cause trouble). Thus Governments have to take actions which they can control, unfortunately these actions will affect more than the bad abusers.
You assume your premise. No the government actually doesn't 'have to' take action about mean things on the internet. The UK has such an obsession with regulating what is, essentially, politeness.
While I don't particularly care for the UK's approach to these things, I can't help but be shocked at how many governments seem to all of a sudden have dreamed up the same idea. Independently, I'm sure.

#36Would be nice if any outlet could actually check; did, or did Microsoft not inform these devs beforehand?!

#38In the tech world, security is mostly just a theater , it is used to push though unwanted and unpopular things, like access control, privacy invasion, etc... All this signing business, leads to one party having the final say, and guess what, they are going to abuse that power...
I think it's just like in software in general: most software is bad, but it doesn't mean that all software is bad and unnecessary.
Most security is done badly, but it doesn't mean that security is unnecessary.
But I agree: TooBigTech has TooMuchPower.

#39Microsoft loves sending emails with "Action required" in the subject, when actually no action is required, or it doesn't apply to you, or whatever. Such corporate speak. It's fun searching your email for "Action required" and finding all the things you were supposed to do and it turns out didn't need to do anything about.
"Crying wolf" constantly like this is so frustrating. It waters down the message until they send something you really need to worry about, which you ignore like the rest of the pointless messages.

I think most people just don't care about their computer. Most people just use whatever they are told to use at work.
