And for all their supposed care about learning everything there is to know about random appliances, lamps, stop lights, it's like they TRY to be obtuse about learning why people give a shit about cars or how they even function. My guy, to get to similar power to a v6, v4s NEED turbochargers, and to meet the insane standards that exist now for emissions there's a hell of a lot of junk added that adds to repair costs, makes even replacing shit more expensive and time consuming, and likely lowers the reliability of the vehicle over all. Vehicle costs have never been higher.
How does anyone put up with this screeching faggot?
He mostly stays in a social media hugbox on the Fediverse, social.treehouse.systems. Drama only is generated every couple months when something Asahi-related gets posted to more mainstream sites like HN. When that happens, Hector gets mad that he can't janny the comment sections there and sics the tranny brigade on the comment section to flag whatever displeased him (usually references to him being Asahi Lina).
Which is screamingly obvious and only a retard wouldn't figure it out instantly.
Weird, works fine for me. Although I have noreferer enabled
But Reddit is also orange.
The absolute lament way to block HN traffic. JWZ and N-Gate did it way better.
curl https://alx.sh | sh
I thought "Don't curl into bash" was one of the prototypical things to not do? Such as rm -rf /'ing or chroot 777'ing random shit?
It's even worse than you think:

fiI don't understand why they don't distribute as an iso/tar.gz?
Because that requires you to run one additional command which ain't cool. You know you want this, just install it directly from an arbitrary script like a good goy. Don't be a needy user, now.
Hmm, probably a more common thing on MacOS.
It's no different to having to manually compile and install a `.tar.gz` (on macOS or Linux) with `make` and `make install`. It could execute literally anything it wants so it's not any safer.
There isn't really a good signature/certificate authority to use as the trusted root though, so any installation instructions would have to come with a key/hash/whatever that can just as easily be changed if it were to become compromised.
