  • In theory yes. But as an insider to a company that sells proprietary software…also no. LOL.

    They build a lot of their stuff on top of opensource code. There has been the exact same exploits as open source projects, and even a few malware intrusions from either some devs deliberate sabotage or infected machine. Not every giant corporation is checking in depth like you assume they should be, they go on trust to save shareholder profits and if they do an external audit and its a zero day nobody* is catching it.

    *there was that one a while back in an unrelated project where the only reason it was caught was a dev nerd noticed the very slight delay in network response compared to previous version. So caught by human feels wrong and not a diff of git



  • It is not an insult, it is fact. You are spouting rhetoric without actually thinking about what you relay. CIA tries over a small period in an experiment, bad results.

    But Dude look up cults and how their leaders get them to do things like drink poison or murder for them. Or have a extreme group suicide bomb themselves. Indoctrination.

    If you raise a kid and tell him everyday that black people are bad, they believe it and perpetuate it. Indoctrination.

    You are being what the rest of the world criticizes China for doing to its citizens. Being single minded with out a way to see past the delusions, and regurgitate random info without actually disseminating the root of things.

    Again, you thinking being paid or not doesn’t change the merit , it absolutely does.

    Just like when red state newspapers report on news: they have to slant it to favour the payer or you don’t get paid. It’s how control works.

    If you don’t see this, then that is highly unfortunate that you can’t see the truth.
