privatelife - privacy, security, freedom advocacy
This community is meant to advocate privacy, security and freedom in an concise manner, free of prejudice bias, free of politics, free of cultist thoughts.
Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say. - Edward Snowden

I'm not recommending proprietary.
I'm clarifying about the benefit of free software: The most important is permission to audit, fix bugs, sandbox it with pledge(2) and unveil(2), NOT "to make sure the software doesn't carry malware".
And I'm alarming: You guys are racing on "open source" but don't actually audit the source code. Because you guys can't even code and do not intend to become experts. So the benefit that you guys think the most important become useless. Thankfully there are experts in your community to audit and fork whenever they want.
(Such small open source project shouldn't care if they want to make quick money :) ) I think they wouldn't care if they have malicious intention
