[issue]: Remove BLOBs from the source tree · Issue #2795 · ventoy/Ventoy
github.com
What happened? Due to the recent XZ-Utils drama I checked the code and I'm appalled. There are more BLOBS than source code. https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/tree/3f65f0ef03e4aebcd14f233ca808a4f8946...

I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

    I cannot fathom what in this issue description gives rise to your concern. It’s worded very calmly, clearly explaining why the author thinks these BLOBs shouldn’t be there, expressing an understanding that it’s not a top priority and even closing with a thank you.

      Is this not rude:

      I checked the code and I’m appalled. There are more BLOBs than source code

      And this:

      I understand that removing BLOBs isn’t a priority over new and shiny features. But due to recent events, this should be rethought.

      We didn’t like it when MS made an issue trying to direct ffmpeg

      They should have opened with a complement or asked for directions if they didn’t know. In this message “Thank You” means fuck all
