I generally trust FOSS to not be malicious. I don't trust it to be bug free when processing untrusted input. So no, I really do want to sandbox plenty of apps regardless.
- bandrami 2y agoSandboxing is still a solution in search of a problem. The only actual valuable data on my computer is the personal stuff that even sandboxed apps are meant to manipulate anyways. Everything else in the system I can download from the Internet for free, but my web browser still has to interact with my passwords and my spreadsheet with my finances, and sandboxing can't fix that.

Just because you have to work with programs and data doesn't mean they're all in the same security domain.
