    FlatHub website

    Where? I don’t see it here.

    click the red “medium risk” thing near the install button

    Oh, and one of the few dozen local privilege escalations found by AI in the mountains of trash of our great kernel completely negate all of this. It has to be AI because no human nowadays is doing all of that anymore. And enslaving humans to pick out code 24/7 isn’t legal anymore anywhere, ya know.

    that’s not a problem of flathub, but literally all computers. windows, macos, android is also susceptible to it.

      click the red “medium risk”

      Literally how the fuck was I, or let alone “a simple user”, is supposed to know that? “Intuitive, uncluttered UI” my ass. Also “The software developer has verified their identity, which makes the app more likely to be safe” ??? How Android wannabe (without actually being anything like Android) do they want to be???

      not a problem of flathub

      The problem of flathub is the illusion of safety.

        idk, this is the first time I saw that menu. it’s a pretty visible red at a prominent place on the webpage, so I wouldn’t say it’s hidden

        The problem of flathub is the illusion of safety.

        where is the illusion of the safety? where does it say it’s the safest thing ever made?
