[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...

Ventoy is a tool to make a USB with multiple ISOs bootable, letting you select which ISO to use on boot. Another newly-created account claims to be the dev’s friend and translator and has received no contact from the maintainer.

    Read my other reply in this thread you will see why/how CCP oversteps boundaries, and why you don’t trust blob code you can’t verify

      1. There’s an older comment in this thread that details how you could verify those blobs: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/14458323
      2. You very much implied that you shouldn’t trust all people of Chinese descent. I personally very much dislike the CCP, as a government I think they cause an immeasurable amount* of harm. However, what you are suggesting is on the same level of racism as the US government locking up all Japanese-Americans in internment camps during WWII.
      3. Seriously, calm down.

        Nope just maintainers that I can’t verify their identity, not asians in general.

        We live in a mixed bag of skin colours here, I have no issue with people…just CCP and their infiltration of their officials into Canada… that are harassing citizens and Permanent residents of chinese descent.
