I’m sorry that you feel that way. To my credit, they did indicate a lack of ambition to audit the code. Perhaps saying that’s lazy is a step too far, but I think my point is valid. If you cite your lack of ambition to audit the code and then complain that you cannot trust the code is definitely having it both ways by my book.

You on the other hand cited available bandwidth as the reason to not audit the code. Also a fair reason. You also have the choice not to use the software if you do not trust it. This was why I was trying to understand your comment. If you don’t have available bandwidth to audit the code and that is the reason you don’t care to use it then perhaps that mentality should extend to all FOSS software and you shouldn’t use any of it.

To what are you referring, though? Are you saying that you won’t ever use FOSS because you do not have the bandwidth to assure it is secure?

See, I thought that as well. The new statement is slightly ambiguous, but it’s still a reversal in policy. I don’t see how it’s better or that it is preserving anybody’s integrity in allowing this nominee to pass.

The new changes appear to have been made to secure a crucial confirmation vote for Dr. Erica Schwartz, Trump’s [nominee to lead the CDC].

Republican Senator Bill Cassidy, whose support is vital for moving health nominees through the Senate Health Committee, previously signaled that he needed assurances that the agency would uphold scientific integrity before advancing her nomination.

I don’t get it. They went from saying there is no causal relationship between vaccines and autism to saying that science doesn’t know. How does that help secure Cassidy’s vote?

You cannot have it both ways. The source code is open for the sake of transparency. You can’t complain about not trusting the author when the code is readily available. Nothing wrong with laziness, but it’s not that you couldn’t check if you were really that concerned.

Which means it will eventually turn to desert.

Wow. I’m not a YT music person and MacOS is my daily drive, but this looks incredible. Well done and a very nice contribution to the community.

No they are protecting our children. Did you forget?

Good lord, come up with a dumber excuse after a post like this.

Yes but his use of a cell phone to send text messages on the day of 1/6/21 is well known and documented. He cannot claim he didn’t and his inability to produce them may result in a default judgement.

Alabama is gonna Alabama from Florida, I guess.
