I'm lost, does Ubuntu give you a pop up with this or something?
I believe these are there fake scam apps that got published on snap recently. This was the second time it happened.
Third time it happened. And this time the scammer have republished the apps like.. 6 times
Bruh. Isn't stopping this type of activity the whole point of cannonicle controlling the store?
The Canonical cycle:
Canonical solves a problem nobody was experiencing or needed a resolution for
Canonical pushes problem resolution as a major component of Ubuntu
"Resolution" impacts Ubuntu use negatively
Users get the pitchforks
Canonical kind of mitigates the issue somewhat but not completely
Canonical goes back to thinking about problems nobody is having
Repeat ad nauseam
Interesting... I never got into Ubuntu because of the look but everything I read about it sounds like a headache. I've totally seen the exact cycle you described multiple times.
I actually am okay with the appearance, but there is just way too much emphasis on doing things that the user base doesn't care about, instead of actually fixing bugs with the product and solidifying it. Which, okay, I guess some folks are fine with that, but being the most popular distro, why try to drive so much innovation at the expense of stability?
I just revisited it a short while ago on hardware that had actual 16.04 compatibility confirmed by vendor back in the day and it was a battery hog and a call tracing dumpster fire on 23.10. Then I switch to Debian 12 and not a single problem. I don't get it.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse misspelling of Canonical yet. Congratulations, that’s an achievement.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more useless comment yet. Congratulations, that’s an achievement.
Exactly the same scam apps too
Some guy lost a good chunk of his crypto bullshit because there was a scam wallet on the Snap Store. I believe Popey did an audit of it and called it to the attention of the admins who removed it. It came back.
Looks like pig butchering apps
