There are oodles of neat and singular programs on github and similar. Curious what steps people take to vet for malware before downloading and trying stuff, especially if you’re not very familiar with the coding language it’s written in.

this is a small-ish problem with FOSS that doen’t have an easy solution. the open source supply chain of code, libraries, tools and apps needs constant peer review, validation and enforcement
i think the tech behind NixOS will go some way to automating this but a coordinated human collaborative effort will be required too
dare i say it even AI might be able to lend a hand
