Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers
JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoNo but this doesn’t do anything to “deal” with the problem as anyone can built up trust like Jian tan showed. The argument that this makes us more secure is like saying closed source is more secure cause the hackers dont have access to the source.

The solution is to verify the code maybe have multiple people from different locations have to review stuff. Build more checks into the process.
