Have you ever found a GitHub project or anything that seemed nice and tempting to install until you dug a bit deeper?

What are some red flags that should detur anyone from installing and running something?

    Goddamn! Had this one with “smartdraw.com” lately. I had to draw up a map of our property for a buidling permit, so I looked for an appropriate tool. Spend 3 hours drawing a layout. but turned out I can’t export the drawing unless I buy a year subscription of 8 dollars per month. Fuck them and fuck subscriptions! I downloaded LibreCAD and learned the basics of that.

      The 2017 full version of SketchUp is similarly free, FYI. You just have to dig for it on the website.
