Many people are scammed all the time from this garbage, and there's usually no legal recourse because either the malicious actors reside in countries which encourage these scams, or they hide their identities well enough that you can&#

That should be taken as a criticism. Security is critically missing from consideration in many designs. In my experience, many teams have a "security" person that they rely on to make security judgements. That's broken. Secur

The solution to this, along with many other socioeconomic problems, isn't going to be solved through voluntarism. This is easily solved with a universal basic income. Some of us would gladly forever maintain and contribute to free soft
