    # WireGuard VPN developer can't ship software updates after Microsoft locks account

    I should be surprised if Windows will ever be suitable outside niche hobbyist communities with this kind of unreliable behaviour.

    Real users need consistency and stability.

      @neil I would say that there is a certain amount of #AppleEnvy at #Microsoft and #Google right now.

      A #WalledGarden allows higher #Rent and cheapens compliance with legislation that attempts to restrict what users can do.

      Open source - and thus backdoor-free - VPNs and e2ee are probably being targeted as preemptive obedience to future laws.

        @neil one of the downside of software signing which makes deploying software much harder on apple and Microsoft platforms.
