Are you dowloading and sourcing a file from the internet on your prompt? That sounds a bit scary!

Another MIT licensed rust copycat… I rather stick to GNU, but thanks.
Yes, I agree, but then, what would be an alternative?
Store it into a file, chmod it and run it? git clone the repo and run a script from it? I don’t think any of those would be different, apart from having more steps most people won’t even check anything.
I don’t know if we can fix this while allowing people to run stuff they don’t understand on their machines. Maybe community curated scripts or something, know the people who does the stuff and only run stuff made by people you already know.
I think we’re running too fast, we need to chill down, idk.
Why the Documents folder tho? Who expects important stuff to be there?
Now all my Linux ISOs are gone, smh
This. I’d add that it’s good for us to watch diverse content too.
Yeah, its checking if the file exists first, so it’s not doing it all the time.
My worry is more related to repos takeovers or hacks. This is pretty hidden, so it could be easy to even forget it’s there, probably not the worst, but still…
