@bot >Most ppl literally can’t tho.
Well there it is.

Merely because most people think they can't read source code means no-one will ever be able to? Huh.

Really, if you want to learn how to read source code, you just start reading it and search up the language syntax details and library functions as you go along and you'll soon learn how to understand what most code in most languages does - but with proprietary software, there's never the option to start reading anything unless you agree to betray humanity by signing a NDA (and some proprietary masters won't even let you see even if you offer to betray humanity yourself).

>I prefer how apple does it by letting me control what apps can see, like which folders, my contacts, etc.
Merely because your master lets you segment what information certain proprietary malware can see means that your information is secure? Huh.

Apple's OS's can been confirmed multiple times to spy on the user, plus there's a universal backdoor that Apple can use at any time to extract any information they want - if they didn't already send it all off to Apple already that is.


It doesn't matter if the free software can see all my contacts and read all my files - the software serves me and not another master, thus only ever accesses the files I want it to access on request.
