Stop and think about what you could be buying instead

I haven't read to far into this but the issue is completely devoid of contributors and maintainers. I find the wording of the issue quite concerning:

Due to the recent XZ-Utils drama I checked the code and I'm appalled. There are more BLOBS than source code. https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/tree/3f65f0ef03e4aebcd14f233ca808a4f894657802/cryptsetup https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/tree/3f65f0ef03e4aebcd14f233ca808a4f894657802/Unix/ventoy_unix https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/tree/3f65f0ef03e4aebcd14f233ca808a4f894657802/DMSETUP

There is no reason to have those not be build in the release process. Of course it's convenient, they are prebuild, it's fast and nobody has a problem with it.

Recent events however showed that these BLOBs can contain everything and nothing. The build instructions would not produce the exact same executable for everyone. It's better to have GitHub build it on-push and use them out of the build cache.

I would do it myself, but unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with the Ventoy build process to actually do it. I understand that removing BLOBs isn't a priority over new and shiny features. But due to recent events, this should be rethought.

Thank you for reading this and I hope for a productive conversation

This is free software, they don't owe you anything and this kind of language sounds angry and entitled. You can't just Gordon Ramsay on someone else's codebase.

Will we get high-speed rail before AUKUS subs?

I wish it were as simple as deleting my accounts with meta, Google and Microsoft. University requires I have MS, Android effectively requires I have Google and if get rid of Facebook I'll lose access to marketplace, my local community and people will probably just not talk me

I'm gen z so maybe it's embarrasing that I've got no understanding of this slang

Also GitHub has full-text search and doesn't filter profanities if you're looking for material

It might seem crazy but, I can't complain about a politician trying to represent and speak to young Australians. I got a good laugh out of the speech despite not knowing what she was talking about

Do Palestine/Israel next. It's okay when our friends do it

That's interesting, but given that it is a two-seat electorate there might be multiple candidates from each party as well. They should probably have a by-election for both seats to be balanced

Have you ever seen him in person? think about it.
