At first I thought, this Oversight app sounds like it could be useful. And then I thought, how do I know this Oversight app isn't spying on me? Ex-NSA author unfortunately isn't something that makes me more confident in the tool. Why am I even worried that someone is spying on me? Oh how I miss blissful ignorance some times.

While I agree that you don't know that this app isn't spying on you, surely it doesn't decrease the trustworthiness of your computer? In some sense, it seems to me like centralising all your distrust in a single person: you now have only to trust the author of this piece of software, rather than of every piece of software you use.
- mstade 10y agoMy point wasn't so much whether this app spies on me or not, but that this is now a question that has to be asked for all apps – no matter who you are really. It's a sad state of affairs.
