I never presented the opinion that FOSS is useless. I'm saying FOSS isn't inherently more secure or private than a commercial or closed source app.

Sometimes FOSS apps are great, often times they are janky...which has been my experience with every FOSS lemmy app I've tried. Sometimes too their overall value compensates for the jank, but not here imo.

I've just noticed that a lot of the privacy focused or obsessed often just roll with what they know or what they read, while still taking big leaps of trust with total strangers and thinking they're perfectly secure and seemingly ignoring that threats even exist in that environment.

Nobody is going to prefer tor to a vpn.

Sounds like what you checked for is the 6 minute youtube tutorial. If someone's trying sneak shit into an open source project they aren't gonna import Keylogger. You gave yourself warm and fuzzies without checking anything.

Oh God, now you're doing the "me and these apps were here before it was cool" bit.

Always a bad a look

Whens the last time you personally checked the source code of an app?

I'm the US there are 3 that I can think of:

  1. They are synonymous in the general sense. "Yeah, I graduated from college."

  2. Specifically a 2-year school, but usually this will be community College or something similar.

  3. Sub organizations in a large university

I'd hardly call that debunked.

The meme version is overly simplified and that's about all.
