Open source bros I dont feel so good, I thought the whole point of this circus was more eyeballs on the source code so this does NOT happen?
>>
isn't it exactly what's happening tho? open source is getting cleansed from CIA backdoor bugs. Meanwhile proprietary soft keeps them
>>
Winshit has all sorts of embarrassing problems too. Don't be a delulu bitch. Reminder that someone was able to change the password for SYSTEM because of a shitty Windows Defender bug.

3 lines to curl and execute a script from the internet

i thought Linux was supposed to be 100x more secure than Windows but turns out it's a swiss cheese dog shit meanwhile people still recommend it for servers

A microsoft employee found the xz shit, don't you think they find their own stuff even faster?

no one is looking at anything. everyone is assuming someone else is doing it

Why would an open source dev ever be as talented or knowledgeable as a closed source dev? If there is one, they likely already made enough money as a closed source dev. No one at that level is going to give away their talent for free or oppose high level corp employment for the lulz. They had their laugh, got the gig, walked away rich, and can laugh again, but the guy who's never got the gig writes shittier code, truthfully, mí familia!

thanks to AI's training data being mostly open source these problems will percolate down to proprietary software eventually

>>108779230
All patched in less than a week after the public became aware of them. Just imagine the wild shit cia does with windows and macOS but you'll never know until after they've exploited it for decades

>>108779230
Windows has 163 while Linux has 8. Oh no :D Also Windows has over 30 thousand new bugs every month. Yes, 30k EVERY MONTH.

“Remote viewing” more like Hal Puthoff goons using backdoors and sketchy default drivers and shit to just remote access your PC and sell tickets to view it under the guise of astronomical observation live streams

funny, nothing happened to my computer

most contributions to bigger open source projects are from people who work at FAANG etc

After seeing some of the threads on /g/ today I am convinced most people here are midwits incapable of comprehending the fact that the absence of an observation doesn't mean something doesn't exist. What >>108779277 says is right. It's like most people here are children who think if they close their eyes then the monster can't see them.
