rAnDoM wEbSiTeS
That's what I thought.
Are you done speed-running through as many logical fallacies as possible? Multiple strawman arguments, no true scottsman/appeal to authority, name calling/ad hominem. You wouldn't have to resort to these if you were just correct, like me.
Since you don't understand, you lowered the level of the conversation and now I'm going to continue on that level because you get what you deserve.
Ad hominem is a problem now when you started accusing me of lacking reading comprehension aka stupidity and then ignorance - in a field I am a professional in and have given reasoned and valid advice on.
In multiple replies you failed to even attempt to address the elephant in the room; that you have zero fucking clue how to verify that applications delivered from a repo aren't malicious.
Given a real world example you simply ignore it "but search results" eat shit you moron. The legitimate website was popped so "rAnDoM wEbSiTeS" aren't a factor or relevant.

Addressing logical fallacies elevates the discussion to place where it can actually be productive, not lowers it.
It's not relevant because it applies to both random websites and code repositories equally. Again, please quote me where I claimed that code repositories are not susceptible to this.
You've demonstrated both of these, so it is just statement of fact. "you moron" this you?
Ironic, you're the only one who has said those words. Another strawman. At no point have I supported just trusting anything.
get ratiod fuckwit
Not you, but some advice(?).
Doesn't change that this ^ is a fact you can't refute, so I'm correct. Your entire argument is strawman arguing against claims that I've never made and name calling. You're basically just arguing with yourself. 🤷
You can't tell after getting completely obliterated by downvotes and repeatedly rebutted that you're the one in weeds? Clueless much
And yet my point was never refuted
