@gromit@chaos.social @archlinux@fosstodon.org yeah, but everyone totally ignores or plays down the warnings, there is a culture of blindly trusting the AUR among arch users usually
I'm a long time contributor to a large Linux community online, and often one of the first things users do on a clean install is setup an AUR helper and blindly pull packages they want

@froge@social.glitched.systems @archlinux@fosstodon.org Well yes, but from our side users are advised not to use an AUR helper until they know what they're doing .. But if people continue to ignore advice and good practises and also keep installing stuff with "curl | sh" you maybe just can't help them :D
