This is the first lesson you have to learn as a Linux enthusiast, NEVER run commands you don't know from the internet

"Nah, just curl this random web address and pipe it over to a sudo bash shell, everything will be fine!"

I hate how this is becoming the official install method for more and more shit. It's like dude, really? You may as well stick your dick in a garbage disposal, both of those actions are equally safe.

You're dreaming if you think I'm not going to wget it and read it to see what it does first.

Honestly you shouldn’t run commands on any OS if you don’t know what they are doing. An elevated powershell command or something on a Mac with SIP disabled (which some “tutorials” will call for) can also do horrible things to a machine

And never run commands copied from a web page, even if you do know them.

JavaScript's copy/paste API means a website owner or an attacker can change the contents of your clipboard after you press copy, and you'll end up pasting malicious commands into your shell. I think Firefox blocks this now, don't know about Chrome.
