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!

    Same here, plus

    • on the phone I trust F-droid that they have some basic checks
    • I either avoid very small projects or I rifle through the code very fast to see if its calling/pinging something suspicious.
