Okay that gave me a good chuckle. But really with FOSS software it’s important to be aware of biases the developers might have. Sure if it’s an open source project, in theory I can audit the code but realistically not so much. If the lead developer is a known bad actor, then there’s reason to be paranoid about vulnerabilities or backdoors being injected into the codebase.
Well there’s no code he can insert that will invalidate anyone’s marriage. And his philosophy on tech and privacy is good. I probably wouldn’t invite him to brunch, but I’m okay with his code.
