I don’t understand how people dare to run anything but free and open-source software. Proprietary software tends to have malicious features. The point is with a proprietary program, when the users don't have the source code, we can never tell. So you must consider every proprietary program as potential malware.

- LadyCailin 6y agoI don’t understand how people dare to run anything but software they have written themselves. Open source software sounds good, but I don’t review each line of code myself, so we can never tell. So you must consider every program you didn’t write or review line by line as potential malware.
