SatyrSackVentoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months
mashbooqAfter I saw that issue, I attempted to build Ventoy from source. After making numerous modifications and getting only the first couple components built, I got tired of it and quit. I’ve made some modifications to glim and use that instead, although it’s still not as easy as Ventoy. But I don’t trust Ventoy if I can’t build it myself.
Further, when @[email protected] made some criticisms of Ventoy in one of her YouTube videos, she was subjected to a harassment campaign, and others told her the same happened to them. That pushed me from not trusting Ventoy to actively distrusting it.

What the fuck is happening to the world? Are we regressing or were we always this regressed and we’ve just given powerful tools to fucking chowderheads?
There’s a subset of the Linux/FOSS/etc. community who are Conservative, misogynistic, racist, and/or otherwise general bigots. Compare the Ventoy-bros against the Elon-bros, and you’ll see a similar pattern of behavior.
I don’t personally understand it, since development is still sometimes seen as “work for weirdo nerds,” so you’d think they would understand what it feels like to be rejected or bullied, but here we are. They manage to stay under the radar, because there’s usually no reason to discuss politics or philosophy when you’re debugging code.

right, the hackernews set…
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted, hackernews is an awful site of smug, dumb software “engineer” tech bros with some of the worst takes on anything that isn’t explicitly about how to code
It’s the other way around I think. We are progressing. More voices are heard which “should” be a good thing. Right? Right…?
SteveDinnI remember this thread! Before I saw this comment, I had already gone to look it up again:
Here’s the initial post of Verionica’s video on booting from ISO files: linuxmom.net/@vkc/112905487325961707
And here’s the post on 'The Ventoy conspiracy": linuxmom.net/@vkc/112906968594601449

New video! So you're new to Linux, and you're wondering what the what is an ISO file? Or maybe you just don't know why you can't DD a CD? Here's a video that explains a bit about ISO files, and how to create flash media from them. https://tinkerbetter.tube/w/3839fbf0-5ece-4847-a46f-872661036657
it’s the opposite, actually,: she got harassed because she didn’t talk about it when talking about creating a bootable drive.
