  No source "freeware", would you trust a binary from a random Russian developer to not contain/deliver a trojan?

    Would you trust a binary from a random developer to not contain/deliver a trojan? Russianness has nothing to do with it.

      These days executing random code is standard and if you don't do it you're wierd. Case 1: browsers automatically execute code from random sources. Case 2: People tell you to curl someurl.whatever | sh to install compilers (ie, the only way to use the rust rustc on non-rolling distros). And it goes on and on. It's not really an exception to standard practice to install applications. The only difference here is that it is from an actual human person instead of a corporation. They are at least somewhat trustable, unlike corporations which always have their profit motive to sell you. Also, if you only run programs that have been approved by a third party organization first you're really restricting yourself.

        1. Browsers aggressively sandbox the code they run. 2. If you’re running curl | sh on random urls you don’t trust, you’re asking for trouble. Running random executables you find online is a good way to get spyware and ransomware installed. I’m not saying that’s the case for re:Amp, but it’s absolutely still valid to tell people not to run random programs they find online.

    No source freeware from Russia was the norm back in the 90s.
