Most software you use doesn't inject shoddy, high-risk code into nearly every running process on your system and the kernel, though.

- smcl 10y ago... and on top of it, most software doesn't claim to make things safer while demonstrably making them worse
- Bartweiss 10y agoYes, this. Most software is crappy, and much if it is insecure, but most of it adds value somewhere. If my music player compromises my computer, at least it plays music the rest of the time. If my antivirus compromises my computer... well, adding security was its only job. I'm happy to criticize shoddy code when it causes the product to fail at its sole purpose.
