    The code is open though, I don’t check it since I am an idiot but I assume pros would spot irregularities.

    Do you have a specific vector of attack here in mind?

      I guess most methods of attack on a FOSS projects are independent of the country of origin. But, I could still see them being forced to do things they don’t want in the US, without being able to tell anyone. Hopefully if that ever happened it wouldn’t be too hard to detect, but you never know.

        People find vulnerabilities and malware even in closed source projects. Us regime is as malicious as it is incompetent. They trust anyone who can throw a sig heil and prompt a LLM to completely dismantle and rebuild major infrastructure.
