This looks interesting, thanks!

Open source isn’t struggling. It’s a struggle. People have high expectations, and expectations go awry in open source and profit models.

It’s funny because people describe PowerShell as powerful, but really they mean it’s also a hammer to mash everything with. “Powerfull!”

You can track telemetry, and then block those domains.

The guy on Codeberg or Forgejo might have less resources to hide something, and probably wouldn’t dare. The bigger the companies, the more people involved with the resources to make tracking software look like regular data requirements.

If you employ something with hundreds of hours of code you’re less likely to see backdoors. Look at a simple program and any kind of odd insertion stands out immediately.

Fool me once. I ran away from anything redhat when they clamped out on my free OpenShift with whatever they are doing now. Too brutal for me.
