Development Team Downsizing and Justification Makes no Sense

[Pixela]

That's absolutely not how debate works. You don't make wild assertions and then tell people to prove you wrong. You make assertions, present your evidence for those assertions, and then challenge other people to dispute your evidence. Otherwise I could tell you, for example, to prove to me that you don't murder hobos for fun.

Spicy is a pain in the ass, he just says things all the time to be annoying and does it on purpose. Which is why I don't spend much time replying to him at all, at least not here.

The original point I made is perfectly valid and you know it is, if I gave you a link to a random exe would you download and install it? Because that's what these people are doing, and again it's not just with this specific server either because they download any that offers one like it's nothing.

Most of these "developers" don't even really make anything, they just download the entire package from github and install it on a server. There isn't much work to set one up and inject some naughty things into them.

There is no validation, there is no objective safety, it's all purely trust and you're trusting people you don't even know and that could disappear in a puff of smoke tomorrow. There could be a bad actor that joins the team months from now, and you keep getting updates to this gigs worth of software not knowing what it's doing.

People have way too much positivity bias, and it is idiocy given how much they can make stripping your account and selling all your assets.
