And this right here is why you use open source apps.

This only would work if you check every line of source code, even the dependencies and build chain, and then build it yourself. See xz utils backdoor or heartbleed, etc.

check every line ... yourself.

A very classic lie, disinformation, used to spread anti-libre software. Anti-libre software bans us, not only me but everyone else, from removing malicious source code.

Very disingenuous of you to fight a strawman and proclaim victory by claiming that I said things which I never did. But if that's what floats your boat. But for everyone else, try to find any mention of anti-libre software in the original claim.

'Open source' is created to subvert libre software.

What are you talking about? You are digging yourself in a trench against me for some reason and you dig deeper every time. I have no idea what your agenda is, but I am stopping participation in it.

I don't know about you but I have always been a free software advocate, see

But anyway, I'm not interested in whatever this discussion derailed into.

Then, you would know anti-libre software bans, not you, us separately and together from proving its claims and removing malicious source code.
