You cannot have it both ways. The source code is open for the sake of transparency. You can’t complain about not trusting the author when the code is readily available. Nothing wrong with laziness, but it’s not that you couldn’t check if you were really that concerned.


Wow. I’m not a YT music person and MacOS is my daily drive, but this looks incredible. Well done and a very nice contribution to the community.
I’m sorry that you feel that way. To my credit, they did indicate a lack of ambition to audit the code. Perhaps saying that’s lazy is a step too far, but I think my point is valid. If you cite your lack of ambition to audit the code and then complain that you cannot trust the code is definitely having it both ways by my book.
You on the other hand cited available bandwidth as the reason to not audit the code. Also a fair reason. You also have the choice not to use the software if you do not trust it. This was why I was trying to understand your comment. If you don’t have available bandwidth to audit the code and that is the reason you don’t care to use it then perhaps that mentality should extend to all FOSS software and you shouldn’t use any of it.
