I remember a story where people asked about blobs included in Ventoy and there were no comments from the devs, leading to suspicion.

At the time it wasn’t clear to me if there was any substance to the story or if it was the usual Internet exaggeration, so I resolved to ignore it for the time being and saved a reminder to look into it after a while.

Now my reminder fired off and I looked around, but couldn’t find how the story ended… do you know?

    Blobs aren’t really a concern as they reference the sources which produce the same binaries, but there are suspicions of compromise due to the Lemmy comments mentioned in the thread. The official accounts’ comments alleviate some of that, though.
