Jesus I thought assumptions about others was more a thing of Reddit, not here. The user you’re talking about simply stated they felt violated heavily by such, not that they’d inflict violence specifically.
My apartment was burglarized over a decade ago and I’m only just now getting over the trauma of it mostly. I had nightmares for years about coming home and my front door being wide open, and everything being gone. I lost sleep waking up repeatedly from these nightmares.
It’s easy to point fingers when you haven’t been traumatized by an event yourself. Have an ounce of fucking empathy here. Neither that person nor I want to hurt folks at all, and I absolutely wouldn’t be able to hurt someone who broke into my place even if I was home besides yelling and trying to scare them off by making a loud racket. But that doesn’t mean we weren’t violated in some fashion.
Like the other commenter in the thread about his wife elbowing a pickpocket, that’s not actually going to hurt or damage anyone but it’ll startle the hell out of them to run off. It’s not like she beat him or made him bleed, at worst he got a bruise for a couple hours.
Anyway great to know more folks give zero shits about mental health clearly.
Despite it being their software, they don’t maintain this part. It’d be like saying Firefox is responsible for preventing fake bank websites from existing (this is ignoring how they also ship malware protection lists anymore to try and help). The Discover app is just a client where a distro supplies the software lists. On OpenSUSE it browses SUSE (and Flathub, if you add it.)
On Ubuntu it browses Ubuntu’s APT repos and snap.
You can easily alter what repos the software uses too, it’s just using whatever the distribution has configured it to use in conf files and repo lists.
