Did you never install anything on your computing device? It's the same risk, or even worse if it was closed source software installed via an app store

replyI have no idea what's in the Makefile, and I'm not going to review it just so to try and figure out where a function is defined :-/
I found the function body in about 30 seconds by browsing the code on github via plain old text search. Is that also to dangerous? ;)
