Open source is growing... so will the vulnerability

[ChaosTheory]

For every one vulnerability found in Open Source, assume an order of magnitude more in Closed Source.

In the midst of worldwide crisis, quid reminds me what's important: Foss software security.

So when Microsoft decided to <3 linux, there were suddenly a lot of vulnerabilities...
On a more serious note, i think that just comes from Projects trying to push for features rather than maintenance, as we see in the kernel too

Do you use Kubuntu or KDE Neon? I cant tell. Thanks!

Maybe there is more people hunting for bugs now.

I'll have my fence in meters please

The more Microsoft fixes Windows, the more they tend to shoot themselves in the foot though.

10 fence posts if you make fence round or any other closed shape xD

[lightarmanov]

You need 10 fence posts becuse you account for the width of the fence post. Im taking the piss this comment is for the algorithm
