@jeena And absolutely nothing can go wrong by downloading random files from the internet based on contemporary hype, making them executable and starting them...

As opposed to cloning a random repository and running make or something?

@xigoi Is that something you do?

[-] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 8 months ago

How else would you install something that doesn’t happen to be in your favorite package manager?

@xigoi Are you actually trying to get malware into your computer? Don't install **random** shiny new things without maximum skepticism. Period. Just let some other fools "test" the minefield for you. Or do a proper inspection. Executing foreign code just because it had "GPT" in the name... and acting like there was no other option... yuck!
