The question is simple. I wanted to get a general consensus on if people actually audit the code that they use from FOSS or open source software or apps.

Do you blindly trust the FOSS community? I am trying to get a rough idea here. Sometimes audit the code? Only on mission critical apps? Not at all?

Let’s hear it!

    Lmao. I commented about this exact shit a few days ago and people in that thread were agast that people used software without vetting. So many were so confident in the security and superiority to paid solutions.

    Not really. Or only when it doesn’t do exactly what I expect.
