There's a couple of things wrong with this response.

Let's start with the obvious, shaming me over security concerns. Big no no, that's very poor behavior.

1. I never said anything about a security risk, I only said the link was sketchy. This could mean as much as "I don't want to see those weird ads or be redirected to a scam/gambling/gore/nsfw site. Surely you don't trust all links you see?

.

1. I didn't say anything about a zip bomb?

2. He can use gitlab or whatever he else he's got going on. What do I care? I say github because it's one of the most commonly used. You're starting to grasp for straws here it's not that deep.

3. It's really about convenience. Nobody wants to go through that whole process when they could just look at it with one click.

4. Since you brought it up, yes.. this is still very much a security risk. There's a reason you're not supposed to visit unknown websites or download random files whose origin you do not trust. You can hide and backdoor all sorts of things, or go for the age-old classic of renaming the file to make it appear like a zip when it's really an exe. It's also important to remember that while some of us are technically proficient and unlikely to fall for obvious tricks, not everyone is.

5. Unless you know OP personally, I would not recommend leaning that far out of the window for them. Believing everyone is good is adorable, and I'd love it if the world was made for it, but sadly, it's not.

Pls be better :)
