  • If it’s on git and other people are using it with no issues, or it was reccommended by someone you trust, it’s probably fine (the software itself) - that’s not to say the developer could have built something sketchy into the app, or could one day be compromised. It also depends how/where I’m running the apps (on my PC, or on a VM inside a container?) Threat models are different for each.

    All of that said, supply chain attacks and sketchy developers selling out could totally be a thing, and you’d get some malware on your computer!

    I’d be interested in what other people think/doaboit the OPs question though.
