Real

I misunderstood your previous comment then. Apologies for that

I personally feel that open source gives me technological freedom. I’m free to change something if I don’t like it, freedom to analyze the code, freedom to fix something etc, which closed source software takes away from me even if I don’t exercise that right.

For example I’d rather live in a country with freedom of speech even if I had nothing to say, because if I wanted, I could do it.

As I said in another comment, it must exist a balance. If an app is closed source but way much better than an open source alternative, then it’s probably wiser to use that. The thing I do not agree with you is saying “FOSS is useless because I don’t check the code”, but you do you and have your opinions, that’s alright.

Don’t assume people who disagree with you to be stupid, because that’s the vibe I got from your comment. I think I am intelligent enough not to give myself warm and fuzzies over something so shallow, knowing from the beginning that my “analysis” was never supposed to be an audit.

P.S. I’m not blaming you, nor anyone else, for using what suits you the best.

But it was discovered. What if it was not open source?

But in general open source means freedom. Freedom of not being subject to the developer’s choices, freedom to analyze the code etc

The good thing about open source is that I don’t have to necessarily do that as there’s a big community behind it. The thing that itches me is that even if I would, I couldn’t be able to in the case of Sync.

To answer your question, not too long ago, and it did not require too much time. I could see what libraries were imported thanks to a tool and decided it was likely not sketchy.

I understand. Of course there must exist a balance. Going FOSS only would be so painful, but in my case Liftoff works nicely

Closed source apps do not allow us to verify they do not actually steal our data or profile us. Liftoff for life
