Static has its own issues. GPL vs LGPL forces a lot of apps to dynamic. Also security vulnerabilities in libraries become unpatchable.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoApps are always the most secure when they can't run at all because of ABI changes in their dependencies.
- chronogram 7y agoI’d rather be able to run something that’s security flawed than not run it at all. Those security issues in libraries are probably not such a big deal anyway, because you can run Unreal Tournament 1 multiplayer now and not immediately get hacked, I’m sure. Maybe I just got very lucky.
