A random guy telling the world how to install some new software. An illustration.
@bagder at least it’s not ‘sudo bash’?
Not that that makes me feel much better.
@bagder It still feels weird we decided it was okay to just run a bash script off the web without looking at it.
At least if the URL gets compromised it can only affect your own files.
@bagder i want an install.sh for curl which is downloadable with curl.
@bagder people running this kind of software are exactly the kind of people who would run a curl-pipe-bash, so it checks out.

WHy do you hurt yourselves. I have emergency numbers for people that like to cut themselves and I don't actually see a divergence. This scares me. I've been upside down at Mach1+ and jumped out of perfectly good helos

@bagder Can confirm, this is the standard way to install software now.
@bagder Joke's on you: wget -qO- https://curl.se/install-curl.sh | sudo bash
@bagder if curl needs another command-line option, how about something like --run
@bagder The longer I look at this image, the worse it gets.
@bagder they are advanced in cyber cyber security: they have moved the "sudo" bit from the command line into the downloaded script 🤦🏻♂️
Jake Broe's fundraiser has reached 1000000 USD!
You still have chance to bump it to 1.968.000 USD to commemorate Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia.
