Cope.
hehehe seethe about it clown
You're so close to understanding. All of the flaws that come with supply chain attacks on repos also apply to random websites, plus even more flaws that repositories are not as susceptible to or do not apply to repos at all.
Please quote me where I claimed that software repositories are less vulnerable to supply chain attacks.
You were wrong about something, constructed a strawman argument, and are grasping at straws to save face.
rAnDoM wEbSiTeS
That's what I thought.
Are you done speed-running through as many logical fallacies as possible? Multiple strawman arguments, no true scottsman/appeal to authority, name calling/ad hominem. You wouldn't have to resort to these if you were just correct, like me.
Since you don't understand, you lowered the level of the conversation and now I'm going to continue on that level because you get what you deserve.
Ad hominem is a problem now when you started accusing me of lacking reading comprehension aka stupidity and then ignorance - in a field I am a professional in and have given reasoned and valid advice on.
In multiple replies you failed to even attempt to address the elephant in the room; that you have zero fucking clue how to verify that applications delivered from a repo aren't malicious.
Given a real world example you simply ignore it "but search results" eat shit you moron. The legitimate website was popped so "rAnDoM wEbSiTeS" aren't a factor or relevant.

Addressing logical fallacies elevates the discussion to place where it can actually be productive, not lowers it.
It's not relevant because it applies to both random websites and code repositories equally. Again, please quote me where I claimed that code repositories are not susceptible to this.
You've demonstrated both of these, so it is just statement of fact. "you moron" this you?
get ratiod fuckwit
Not you, but some advice(?).
Doesn't change that this ^ is a fact you can't refute, so I'm correct. Your entire argument is strawman arguing against claims that I've never made and name calling. You're basically just arguing with yourself. 🤷
You can't tell after getting completely obliterated by downvotes and repeatedly rebutted that you're the one in weeds? Clueless much
And yet my point was never refuted
