Instead, only run code from random sites that put time into having a legitimate looking UI and/or price tag.

Edit: I do wholeheartedly agree with the revised parent comment. Piping things into your shell is bad practice because it allows malicious and non-malicious risks to your system. In the malicious case, an attacker can very easily serve up an innocent script to your browser and a malicious script to curl/wget. In the non-malicious case, a break in networking midway through the download can truncate commands, turning "rm -rf /opt/coolsoftware/build" into "rm -rf /opt".

Wow, you made me realize I somehow didn't at all write what I meant. I was referring to piping downloads into a shell. I've updated my comment. Thank you.
