gollark: You seemed to be suggesting that open source was somehow worse than closed source software for security, which I disagree with.
gollark: <@!707673569802584106> Basically everything uses open source software in some form. If your security is compromised by people knowing how some component of your application works, it is not very secure in the first place.
gollark: <@183773411078569984> Proprietary software can suffer from the whole trusting trust thing exactly as much as open source software.
