You sure wouldn't want them spying on you, stealing your data, chewing up your resources for shady profit schemes, or making your machine unbootable. Better to leave that to the experts at Microsoft and FAANG since all those features come preinstalled nowadays.

Snark aside, given the context, this really seems like a baseless attack on independent open source developers, who represent a significant potion of this site's subject matter and target audience. Genuine question: why do you feel that this warning is appropriate here but not the dozens of other solo github projects that make it to the HN front page every week?

It is clearly directed at this specific project, given that it is attached to this specific HN item. And grow some manners.

There's a bit of gatekeeping from multiple participants in this subthread, but I think it was fair enough of raydiak to push back on a bit of alarmism in the root comment.

Regardless, your comments were needlessly hostile and not in keeping with the style of discussion the guidelines ask of us.
