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.

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

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.
