I have negative trust. Consider that trust embeds a somewhat temporal component.
positive trust: I will trust you in the future.
zero trust: I don't trust you now.
negative trust: I will never trust you in the future.

A behind-the-scenes peek into the machine learning framework powering new code scanning security alerts. It looks like you're trying to write a bug. Would you like help with that?

Back in 2009 I wrote a distributed system for RFID tracking.
And now in 2022, my Win 10 install flags the binaries as "dangerous programs that execute commands from an attacker." What utter nonsense.
And the bad part is that it doesn't offer the option of allowing the files to exist on the machine. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Windows 10 or the Windows defender?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Well the alert comes from "Windows Security", so your guess is as good as mine.

You can purchase an EV code-signing certificate and sign your executable to reduce the threat score. This would prevent the security warning you are seeing.

Thanks for the tip. But why did they remove the option to allow the threatening files? Isn't it my machine?

I'm not a lawyer so I won't try to interpret the license. I will point out that the first sentence in section 2-A of the (English) Retail agreement[^] is:
2. Installation and Use Rights.
a. License. The software is licensed, not sold.

I don't know your situation well enough to respond. I don't have any problems running executables on my machine. On my personal machine I use the Windows Defender Cmdlet[^] to whitelist my development folders.

Everybody knows that. But philosophically, the software is just a guest in my hardware house. I make the rules over what happens on my hardware.
This is why it's such a conundrum. Microsoft usurping that authority is infuriating, I'm sure you can agree.

.NET 7 builds on the foundation established by .NET 6, which includes a unified set of base libraries, runtime, and SDK, a simplified development experience, and higher developer productivity. And so it begins again

In the world of tech tools, there’s a lot of buzz. But it doesn’t always reflect the daily reality of programmers. I've got 99 problems, but developing isn't one of them

so is the article. "Building for the 99% developers" - then proceeds to show that there is no way 99% of developers have a common need.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

While most devices do require a sign-in to fully enable app stores, cloud storage, and cross-device sharing and syncing, Windows 11 will soon stand alone as the only major consumer OS that requires account sign-in to enable even basic functionality. "I really want to know. Tell me who are you?"

There is someone at Microsoft that pitched this idea and there are people at Microsoft that said "Wow! that is a really great idea. Let's move on that now!"

Stupid is as stupid does.
Right now, my Quicken file (I'm running an i7 with 64GB of ram on an SSD, so it's a fast machine) now loads slower than on my last PC. Why? Well, every time Quicken launches, it goes back and talks to the mother ship. Even if I turn off the "sync with cloud" feature (why in the hell would I want my data on their cloud?) it still has to go back to the mother ship.
Microsoft cannot even get the Office 365 login correct - I select the "don't remind me for 20 days" box, and the next day I have to log in again.
It's almost like people in Redmond ask themselves, "let's see how far we can go before the masses rebel."
