    @MaddieM4 From my point of view, a reliable system can be summed up in a single thought: "When EVERYONE can review, inspect and audit the code, it therefore becomes more reliable."

    This line, in fact, is what allows open systems to be more secure (because no matter how many vulnerabilities they have, there is quick correction, review, documentation and traceability) in such a way that no closed system can keep up.

    @lobocode @MaddieM4 And THIS is why accessibility and meaningful, complete, fully-informed consent, is a central piece of what Free Software must be for the sake of its quality of content and the sake of its true freedom.

    @lobocode @MaddieM4 I think this is true in principle, but I also think that a lot of people have misunderstood "everyone can review and audit" to mean just that the code must be accessible, while forgetting about the part where it also needs to be *readable and approachable*, and without that property a lot of this security is largely theoretical unfortunately
