@MaddieM4 @mhoye I tried to contribute to firefox a decade ago (or so) and the level complexity with the use of multiple languages meant that after going through multiple layers it become clear that implementing the simple feature I wanted to add would far exceed the time I could afford. I could imagine contributing to the kernel, but I will like opt for a simpler kernel that uses C exclusively for similar reasons... Too much industry-level complexity in Linux already.

The LLM part is bad news but it isn't the sign. -
Visit Homebrew, Rustup, Oh My Zsh, nvm and few other popular open source projects website and you realise that quietly `curl -fsSL` has become the most popular package manager for Linux and Unix users 😂 How did we get here ?@cogitocomrade @nixCraft It is far less safe. If the first step is secure, then it may be ok to put some trust in the code you run later. But with curl | this is unfounded.
