# 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.

@davidrevoy This is in no way a slight to your art but I noticed the warm tone that AI slop "art" is so fond of replicating, Maslow's Hammer as they say haha. I felt immense relief when I saw that your profile said #NoAI, keep up the lovely work!

If a human right is in the way of your "innovative" technology, the expected solution should be to modify your technology to respect this human right, not to reduce the protections to this human right.

Technology and innovation must be in service of humanity, not the other way around.

The next major milestone of the approximately 10-day journey is expected overnight Sunday into Monday, at which point the astronauts will enter the 'lunar sphere of influence.'
