Am I the only one who cringes when I have to update my system?
How do I know the maintainers of the repo haven't gone rogue and are now distributing malware?
DAE get anxious when running code on computer?
I think for the sake of security we should just use rocks, stones, and such to destroy all computers, as this would prevent malicious software from being executed.
Absolutely. Wanted to try out the famous Python management tool UV last week, installation instruction is like this:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Yeah, no thank you.
Is available via pip? You could use venv
Yeah I hate this stuff too, I usually pipe it into a file figure out what it's doing and manually install the program from there.
FWIW I've never found anything malicious from these scripts but my internal dialogue starts screaming when I see these in the wild, I don't want to run some script and not know what it's touching malicious or not it's a PITA.
As a linux user, I like to know what's happening under the hood as best I can and these scripts go against that
So basically the install instructions for Lemmy? No Lemmy data is safe.
