You're putting a lot of faith in whoever packages the 'distro'.
Obviously you have the same problem with trusting FOSS software distributions, but it's mitigated by things like Linus' Law and reproducible builds.
That being said, I personally use tiny11 VMs for certain non-critical things at home and work. I'd never use it for anything security related, or as my main OS, as there is a non-negligible chance that it's compromised (and there's basically no way of knowing).

We in the west are in for a very rude shock in the coming years. Today it's clamping down on protests for Palestine, tomorrow its teargas and truncheons for strikers.
A lot of people don't understand that if we don't stand up for the Palestinians, we won't have a snowballs chance when it comes to seriously protesting our own governments and the corporations that control them.
Why do bots! Love exclamation marks! So much!

The needs of the perpetrator of a crime need to be balanced against the needs of society at large. This is why you get your license taken away from you when you drink and drive, or why you end up on a sex offenders register.

Very impressive that he managed to run rings around Piers Morgan on his own show and come out looking good. Railroading conversations is Piers Morgan's bread and butter.
Couldn't agree more. Those novelty e-celeb accounts on Reddit are getting really put of hand, aren't they, Margot Robbie
Where did you apply?
You've actually got it backwards. The ranking algorithm (rankdex) developed by one of the engineers that founded Baidu was published in 1996, two years before pagerank. Some of Google's early patents actually cite the rankdex algo.
