This is a good question and a valid concern. However, I wonder if the app really makes in worse then it's already is. GitHub has no way to share checksums with the builds. The only way to do that is to upload a checksum file alongside the binary. But if an attacker is able to upload/replace a malicious binary, they would be able to replace its checksum file as well. So you wouldn't be able to recognize this anyway, even when downloading it GitHub, would you?

Using the equipment incorrectly.

Since the content of the address bar changes when you change tabs (the same as the website itself), doesn't it make much more sense to have the tabs above the address bar? What's your reason to prefer it below?

a relationship is a voluntary situation

Except if you're standing next to me in the supermarket. Or at the bus stop. Or sitting near me in a restaurant. Or at the doctors office and so on. And in all of these situations, I expect common courtesy from you. Or I consider you as an asshole.

This sounds a lot like Hanlon's razor. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Do you really believe that people like spez, Zuckerberg, Musk behave like they do because they want to do favors for other billionaires? Isn't it much more likely that they're just ... disturbed? That they are narcissistic, megalomaniac, maybe idealistic in their own believe. And in being that, they make stupid decisions because they literally work differently than regular folks.

Depending on what you're watching, https://nebula.tv/ might be a very good alternative for thought-provoking content.

What's the advantage of those over just adding those keywords to the browser's search bar? I can type "gm anything" in all of my browser, and it will just open Google Maps directly. I don't understand why people keep calling this a great feature of ddg when you can achieve the same without the detour through ddg.
