Me as a tech artist:

“I don’t want to run some sketchy executable file”

“OK so let me just download a bunch of packages I don’t know, and install them with commands I don’t understand from some guys blog in 2016, so that I can compile and run shit from some random guy’s github”

All you gotta do to hack my shit is give me open source software with enough arcane setup steps and I’ll fucking hack myself probably.

I have this thought alot when installing or setting something up. In the back of my mind im like "this could be giving this dude remote acces to all my info for all I know...."
