Microsoft Wants to Protect Your Linux Desktop with Defender

A lot of nice sounding words when it's really about employee monitoring and control.

This is bad news for Linux developers at work. One reason for wanting Linux is to get rid of all the privacy violating corporate spyware. Now corporate forces this spyware on you, or you can't access any corporate resources from your machine.

Have fun developing when you need to start worrying what sudo commands you run, because some raise alerts in IT.

I hope someone reverse engineers mdatp and documents how to limit how much of your privacy it can invade. That shit needs to be jailed into namespaces that are limited to absolute minimum necessary.

Phoronix: Linus Torvalds Comments On The Russian Linux Maintainers Being Delisted

As a finn, I understand that there are probably legal reasons for doing this.

I just wish they would be transparent and share those reasons with us. The Linux kernel is certainly not the only free software project that is impacted, if this comes straight from EU/US sanctions. Maintainers of other projects have a lot of interest in what is happening.

Transparency is also important because if EU/US policy/sanctions are causing issues for free software projects, then that discussion needs to be public, so that there is a chance to amend the policies if necessary.
