I used to be responsible for the Xubuntu.org website, way back when. I was a teenager back then.

Which is to say, I'm fairly sure that they're still just a volunteer community member.

Okay, they're not getting paid. That's worse! This gives them an incentive to be the one to inject malware to steal bitcoins because they haven't been compensated for all their hard work.

I think you might be in for a shock when you learn how many Xubuntu-sized projects rely on unpaid volunteers.

So, of course, you stay far, far away from any open source software and their maintainders, since many/most of them don't get paid and are obviously nothing but one giant perverse incentive. Never use them right? Because we wouldn't want to think you're just a hypocrite dog-piling on someones bad day.

lol l live on the edge and run curl | sudo bash and just hope and pray that it doesn't steal my crypto

Can’t steal my crypto if I don’t have any in the first place.
