  • If it was closed source I would agree but you can check for yourself if the code is good. Even if they are crazy.

    No I can not. I am not an android-dev, I am not the best dev out there and I don’t have time to thouroughly go through a big codebase. It would defenetly be possible to hide mallicious code from me, even if I have access to the source-code. For really big projects it is safe to assume other, more knowlegable people have allready audited the code, but for small ones I have to be able to trust the devs.



  • Their russian telegram channel has some opinions.

    Besides a chemtrail conspiracy - reference there is a whoule channel for the ru-ukr war. I am unsure if it is in support of the war or not and translating it does not really clarify it (sentiment gets lost easily I guess).

    Considering that, some clarification would be nice. Because I don’t think I would trust a software made by russian “patriots” (quote from the channel) in the current geopolitical landscape.









  • I still (have to) download scetchy executables on Windows when I want to install most programms, while on debian I can install most programs via apt and a few repositories. Even when it’s not a standard repo I still prefer it over random executables because while the security is just as bad at least I get updates without having to open the program itself.

    But what resonated with me most have been the restarts for updates. Happened way to often that I wanted to stop working but cant just shut down windows without updates and the accompanying reboots. (If I don’t check up in between to decrypt the disk on startups it’ll just sit there and run out the battery and I have to do the restarts on the next workday). On debian I just klick the power button, it hibernates (or I shut it down if I’m in the mood) and os updates are completely seperate from that.
