Ark!it is available on windows? i am pretty sure TP4 is a windows user, and Ark being part of KDE isn't on windows?

I've read some concerns about 7zip and -ru55ians hax- ?
Feel free to search the source code for anything network related, sounds like something a WinRAR employee might say to an anti vaxer to me - big projects like 7zip surely don't merge code blindly.
Russia is a big country with long winters so lots of open source code comes from normal people there, not specifically 7zip just in general.
Buying WinRAR is the secret way to get into heaven.
We can crowdfund you a license to heavenBuying WinRAR is the secret way to get into heaven.

You're using Windows. On the internet.
The only people not watching are either too stupid or don't care to.
Winrar vs 7zip ?Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/uqAeXBu.gif)
you have the choice, either go with the one that may be checked or one that is most definitely not, and 7Zip is a huge project now, and used by sizable companies, so it will be under a fair bit of scrutiny, like the linux kernel (there was a story a years back of the CIA or FBI trying to disable the RNG in the linux kernel, and it was caught long before the merge) and that there is rusian code make sence, and with a name like Igor Pavlov i'd guess that 7Zip BDFL is for east Europe/Russia so likely were the rusian hack thing came fromFeel free to search the source code for anything network related, sounds like something a WinRAR employee might say to an anti vaxer to me - big projects like 7zip surely don't merge code blindly.

All for open source, but we also trust in the bystander effect, everyone assumes someone ELSE is looking, meanwhile no one or too few are actually looking. Despite open source, it leaves room for actors with deliberate intentions to act in nefarious ways.

Well, that's the thing, how are we SO SURE, that the people IN CHARGE haven't been flipped. It would take trivial amount of money to motivate these (alleged) impartial free-coders.so only for linux you would need to corrupt Linus Torvalds, good luck with that for a start, and then you would need to add several 0s to take into account all the freelancers, and companies (Ex, Google) that keep on checking it, it would actually be much cheaper and safer to ask MS to add a backdoor to their OS. projects like Linux, 7Zip, Firefox, Chromium etc. have a lot of invested companies in them, and 1000s of peoples checking it because it either is their job, their hobby, or they are paranoid, and especially this last group would be very problematic to pay off wouldn't they? for one finding them may get hard, and two you give them validation of their paranoia, and guess what they will do with that, keep it for themselves?
We can assume most people have moral conviction stronger than $10,000. But Corporations and Governments can add several zeros to that. It seems unreasonable to assume these large projects are difficult to infiltrate if they possess espionage value.

let's say you flip 50% of all contributors, what will prevent the other 50% to, if bdfl is not corupted, just kick them out, or fork the project, and of divulging that there was tempering and fixing your expensive backdoor? if the source are available your backdoor is just a crtl-c ctrl-v from being destroyed pretty much. and usually billionaires and presidents have much more to hide than your low life hacker cheking and maintaining opensource projects...
You don't need to get to all of them, you just need a few. They would all be sorted by personality and life circumstance before hand. You'd engage with the one most likely to be flippable/ corruptible or coerce-able. Lots of people have things to hide. No one is immune to compromise, even millionaires/ billionaires/ PRESIDENTS.
