Do you trust Open Source software entirely?!
(lemmy.ml)
I've some questions about Ghidra released by NSA on Github. And research about it then saw a ycombinator thread for it. That answer was clever and funny.
As title marked, you really okay for just "open source" to trust it?
IMO the most important part of open source is the Ulysses pact called "right to fork". It's like the developer says "if I ever become a tyrant, you have an easy way out of my tyranny".\ That's what makes me trust it more than closed source. Not Linus' Law.
I have found myself by default believing the devs that break off from a massive project and create a fork saying they're fed up with whatever and they're going to do it right on their fork.
