The "read the source" argument. It doesn't scale. I don't have 17 lifetimes to study a single release of every bit of software I run.
I really do appreciate Emacs for the introspection capabilities, but it's not a solution to the trust chain issue.

- rollcat 3y ago> don't run untrusted code The entire point of this thread is how a chain of trust should be maintained. "Don't run untrusted code" is skipping from the question straight to a hypothetical world where an answer has already been established. "How to live long" - "don't die".
