I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

After I saw that issue, I attempted to build Ventoy from source. After making numerous modifications and getting only the first couple components built, I got tired of it and quit. I've made some modifications to glim and use that instead, although it's still not as easy as Ventoy. But I don't trust Ventoy if I can't build it myself.

Further, when @vkc@linuxmom.net made some criticisms of Ventoy in one of her YouTube videos, she was subjected to a harassment campaign, and others told her the same happened to them. That pushed me from not trusting Ventoy to actively distrusting it.

What the fuck is happening to the world? Are we regressing or were we always this regressed and we've just given powerful tools to fucking chowderheads?

It’s the other way around I think. We are progressing. More voices are heard which “should” be a good thing. Right? Right…?
