Have I what? Read all open source code? I was replying to someone else, and not about any particular app. It’s just way harder to sneak something malicious into open source code than closed source, trust only gets you so far. It’s just common sense.
You can check the code for unintentional vulnerabilities, or intentionally added in by a contributor, but you can’t do anything about something intentionally added in later in the process by the person responsible for managing the build and distribution of the application.
Isn’t the point of open source that you can check the code for yourself though? Can’t do that with closed source
Have you?
Or are you just trusting someone else?
I trust LJ
