No, it’s actually better when you can read the machine code.
Most folks don’t care to recompile the whole thing when all they wanna do is bypass the activation and tracker shit.
Having access to the source code actually makes reading machine code easier, so you’re also wrong on this entirely different thing you’re going on about.
I never said disassembly or decompiling was easier in any way. I’ll agree with you on that, it’s way more difficult.
Back to the point of the meme though, if you can read assembly, you can read it all.
You’ve clearly never used a disassembler such as HIEW have you? You get the entire breakdown of the assembly code.
