    Exactly. Neckbeards love to pretend open source magically has no security vulnerabilities, and that the ability to inspect the source means you’ll never install anything nefarious.

    I expect all of them to have read the source for every single package they’ve ever installed. Oh and the Linux source too, of course

      Another classic lie. ‘Open source’ misses the point of libre software. Anti-libre software [malware] bans us [everyone else] from removing malicious source code.
