    you lost me at this

    If there were a malicious intent, others would have been able to detect it in no time… because it is ‘open’!

    not sure if troll or just really ignorant.

      Executive Order 14071 is more than 2 yrs old… Linus waited till the grace deadline (in 1 week) to apply it, obviously he found it non necessary all this time and he trusted those Russians until the grace period expires. No, not so ignorant, nor a troll. And yes, Open systems is easy to detect maliciousness, better yet, you can pin point who contributed what for everyone to see.

        blah blah blah. you’re obviously trolling or have no idea how FOSS is developed.

        if FOSS is so secure then why is it a popular attack vector for Russian and Chinese espionage?

        just because something is public doesn’t make it inherently more secure, I’m honestly disappointed in your dangerous and clearly flawed take on FOSS.

        FOSS is great, but it’s really no more and no less secure than closed sourced software.

          So why Linus waited 2 years and a half to apply the Order until the grace period expires? He obviously does not like Russia, but he did trust those individuals (or system)!

            I don’t care and I’m not going to argue the point you want to make because it’s frivolous.

            he’s the maintainer, he can do whatever the fuck he wants whenever the fuck he wants and to whomever the fuck he wants on his project.
