OpenPGP is awkward but also pretty good and provides a PKI ecosystem. But that doesn't make GnuPG a good implementation.
AppImage is bad. Use only as the last resort.
There is no way to use LLMs ethically. There is no "open source AI".
Any security system that gets in the way is insecure.
Packaging software is hard and different for somo projects and distros.
(Not open for debate. Will mute or block responders.)
