"security"? You mean the paranoia FUD of Big Tech justifying their enslavement of users and locking them out of their own bought general-purpose-computers --- I mean devices --- to further the authoritarian corporatocracy?

"Trusted" computing, DRM, and all its ugly ilk are premised on making things "secure". Maybe its time we opened our eyes to realise that uncomfortable truth. If the government and the megacorps are scared enough by encryption to want backdoors into our lives, maybe we should want ones into them too.

"Those who give up freedom for security deserve neither."

The comment you replied to had absolutely nothing to do with encryption or DRM.

C being low level means you're forced to do many tedious and complicated things manually. This makes the code you write prone to errors which (in the worst case) can be exploited by attackers to run arbitrary code on your system.

... but I'm sure you're already well aware of this which leaves me wondering why you wrote what you did.
