As a system admin I can sympathize, but honestly I don't see any resolution that will fix this in the short or longterm. You just have to accept that the reality of computing is that if you interact with external data in a way that runs unfriendly code, you can/probably will compromise your system. It's just a consequence of making rocks smart.

Idk numpy go brrrrrrrrrr. I think it's more just the right tool for the right job. Most languages have areas they excel at, and areas where they're weaker, siloing yourself into one and thinking it's faster for every implementation seems short sighted.

Lol that comment chain is wild. Apparently according to the grapheneos devs it's a optional build flag they're all enabling. Not a great look.
20/80 tbh
Fortunately most have been ported to Linux via an open source revserse engineered community project or run well ish under wine! :)
You just caught him on an off day. 
This, this, 💯 this. When there's a sizable push into a Android future that isn't #GuidedByGoogle in the same way Chromium/Chrome is, I'll consider it. Until then its just open source paint on a proprietary cow.

Oh, of course. But that's for compromises utilizing tool chains and exploits you're aware of. Zero day exploits are commonplace nowadays and often utilize complex tool chains to avoid detection or circumvent security posture. It's all a matter of how sophisticated the attack is and it all becomes a lot easier to do if you've got user level run permissions due to some user clicking a phishing email and tossing their creds in it or launching a random pdf with an embedded payload.
