Yeah I didn't intend to tie FOSS advice to the security comment but inadvertently my comment reads like that.

I intended it to just be a comparison of the "only download something you trust" absurd advice you get from "security" people you see on TV or something... and what the user was suggesting about the old days.

My FOSS comment was really meant to reflect the absolute rabbit hole you go down when it is suggested people can simply protect themselves. It's never ending flow of tasks and things you need to know that I don't think anyone can do ...
