"Nah, just
curlthis random web address and pipe it over to a sudo bash shell, everything will be fine!"I hate how this is becoming the official install method for more and more shit. It's like dude, really? You may as well stick your dick in a garbage disposal, both of those actions are equally safe.
You're dreaming if you think I'm not going to
wgetit and read it to see what it does first.To be fair: This is what everyone expects when you install software for Windows. Just download a more or less "good looking" binary blob, execute it with administrative privileges and hope that it will do what you want it to do.
