fr, windows hides the file type by default.

Om, AppImage is portable exe. Has it's uses.

dpkg doesn't? I sometimes use apt install command but didn't think it mattered if the deb package was configured right.

I'm not so sure about those beginner-friendly distros, they seem a little doggy and miss out on the massive work that the Debian and Ubuntu teams do that a smaller team can not. Snap is good for small, one time use or untrusted apps. But most of the time, its performance is really slow. It needs some work.

It's a useful shortcut.

That's awesome. Thank you.

I know it's not that hard $ dpkg -i but opening the terminal gives normies an aneurysm and thanks to the crazy gatekeeping gen alpha doesn't know what a file type is now.

I use Ubuntu btw. Personally, the App store's on Linux confused me a ton, setting up Flatpak and some other package repositories. I much preferred the windows way, shocker, with just downloading and double-click the exe file.

Do I have to make a pull request myself to get this done, or what is the debate on this?

Yep definitely, If you open source when you are a small team or individual a company will steal your code and, with their massive teams, wipe the floor with you. That is why I like what Plausible Analytics (Google Alternative) is doing, https://plausible.io/blog/open-source-licenses there AGPL-3.0 licence scares big tech because by using code with it, you must open source all code using or related to the code you use, and they have the means to enforce that.

Files are a whole other issue. If I was to make a file upload, it would be my site (encrypts & uploads data)->uploadthing.com->AWS T3 Buckets->returns link. Because if it was bad content my site cant do the decryption without being liable, so for decryption->open sauce decryption system->hosted on popular free platforms you can't block->decrypts data and hides original file.

Yeah, I appreciate the feedback. I need to do more, so the link isn't a secret, e.g. any password will decrypt any link to text so if you use the wrong password you get wrong data possibly a different link, that hides if you were wrong or right. Then you only need to share one secret via a separate channel.

Sorry ๐Ÿ˜‚ Thought I exempted the /anon route from headless, VPN and proxy checks but forgot one of the VPN functions, fixed now! The /anon route is not checked. It was unfortunately needed because of a very costly bot attack abusing a service I had.

I made this tool so you can share 'locked' links safely & anonymously with a password. It gives you plausible deniability and crowd blending when sharing privates links.๐Ÿ”’
