I get that this is a difficult situation for a small developer, but ending with this line did not fill me with confidence that the problem is actually resolved and make me trust their software on my system.

That's the most honest assessment you can expect from any small-scale developer. What do you expect them to say or do? Their adversary is presumably a national intelligence agency of a superpower.

The odds may be better if you operate the way OpenSSH does: move slow, security first, architect everything to be very difficult to attack. But if you're building a text editor, it's not your mindset, and probably never will be.

>>the_fa+hg
Yup, the only way to combat this as a smalltime dev would be to turn off auto updates and make people build from source.

>>xeroma+Oh
Why woul building from source be safer? Are you veting every single line of third-party source code you compile and use?

>>m-schu+lj
You're sure not vetting any byte of an executable, so building from source is safer.
