And yet you run it. Have you vibe-checked every such software? Did that bring you enough information about individuals creating it? If not, if there are no readily available signs, have you vetted their own, private beliefs otherwise — in order to ensure they don't clash with your own?
What if Linus Torvalds turned out to be secretly a Nazi pedophile for the whole time? Would that make you stop using Linux?
But yes, I vibe checked the software projects I use. They are mostly large enough, where single individual failings are of no consequence and unhinged people are usually removed from executive control through various means. But it's trust based on feelings and the information I got. Most people involved in these projects are mature and controlled enough to not mix politics with their work. It's not a good sign to not be in control of such impulses.
And I rather take a chance with the unknown bad, than rationalize the known. Luckily most people with a collectivist FOSS mindset don't turn out to be monsters. Who could have predicted that?!
Your turn.
If you fail to understand why human rights and state repression stances don't matter evaluating trust in secure and private communication means, we indeed don't need to discuss any further. It is a bit silly tho.
>could you point to such code reviews from vibe-independent auditors for continuous verifiable simplex builds targeting common communication platforms?
and sandblast has written a lot of words that indicate “no”, so they’ve been pretty consistently arguing not to use simplex.
