Legitimately I’d suggest ditching it entirely, or at the very least removing any financial or personal info from your account, because this shit just screams “massive financial breach” in 3-6 months tops.
Beyond all that… AppImage? Fuck that’s what they’re going with, really? I get that it’s platform agnostic or whatever but it’s literally my least favorite way to get an app delivered to me because it’s so fucking opaque. I know that’s probably an unpopular opinion, but I do, I hate AppImages. It feels like the lazy assholes way of committing to Linux support when they’re a giant corporation. This isn’t some guy coding it all on his own in his basement for no money because it’s open source. I can live with that because that guy is just one guy and maybe doesn’t have the time or resources to pack it five different ways. But a company that big? Go fuck yourself, Tim Sweeney.
I didn’t even think of that but honestly yeah that’s kind of insane LMAO
Like I have no problem with appimages for smaller tools, and at least things like Shelly make maintaining them much easier nowadays, but for something like this, what the fuck
It’s also a vibecoded mess and they’re literally advertising it as such: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:k6kg5ccozcphfcmp4zyx3s64/post/3mxtzp6xtwc2u

I’d rather have a raw binary like what Godot puts out.
I agree. I’d rather build from source.
