The Xz backdoor and a near miss on the F-Droid app store show how the entitled attitude of some people in the open source community can be used to push malicious or insecure code.

    I’m sorry that I’m apparently not getting my point across to you

    Proprietary software is often made by a corporation, who pays full-time developers. Those full-time developers are given a salary to work on that software. That salary is normally more than what open-source devs make off their software. The team who is paid to work full-time on the software will patch issues faster (theoretically)

    I bet you’ll find something wrong with this, but I don’t care

      There’s nothing wrong with what you’re saying, I’m not challenging the point you’re making here.

      I’m challenging your ability to mind-read and ascribe that point to a different commenter.
