The thing is… would you trust a software that is developed in russia (without a full code audit)? I think at the moment its the same with anything coming from the US.

Well, for me it would be the setup i am now using since about 15 years:
WM: flwm Filemanager: ROX-Filer Background: feh
… and a ton of tools i accumulated over the yesrs
Right… BUT it was perfectly readable in bright daylight!
I mean… yeah, having all the electronic gadgets that spy on you and let you read the post of the worlds united village yokels is great, but, just as a thought… why do i need to recharge my phone at least once a day when the Atari Portfolio (which was / is a nearly full IBM PC compatible computer) that was build in '89 did last about A MONTH on 3 AA batteries that i could buy nearly everywhere in the world?
Imagine a world where not every consumer electronic is controled by layers upon layers upon layers of cruft running on an operating system that in its core still thinks it is powering an PDP11 and talking to a bunch of teletypes…
Is this the appropriate point to reference the suckless community? I mean, that’s THE point of the movement…
That is not what i meant, what i wanted to say is: “Would you trust software from Russia without having completely audited the code?”.
