Oh I love this one. People say “if it’s open source, no one can do shitty stunts because we can just audit the code!”
Sure, but can you audit the code?
Everyone can audit the code you clown, that is the point. When it is hidden you cannot do this. If you are trying to be clever and demean my intelligence, let me put it another way, Everyone who can use google can audit the code. Writing code is not something restrictive, there are many, many guides out there along with syntax breakdowns.
Do you even know what the internet is?
This is why I shouldn’t use Lemmy while I’m drunk. I don’t have any idea why I would have said something like that..
Not a problem, I am not fragile in the least. I hope your hangover is a short one.
You ever write code while drunk and come back wondering why it works at all?
My code works better when I'm drunk!
If only my father worked better when he was drunk
I haven't done any real coding since the 90's. Excel meant having the ability to write your own software from scratch redundant.
