Unfortunately not the first time I’ve seen this sort of thing:
(I don’t use this project, just came across it)

I think coffeezilla found it was probably closer to $100,000 in value (the Lego collection), still insane chain of events and police corruption

Copying my other comment from this thread:

Most of the revanced devs left the project (due to some issues with another dev) to found morphe, I suggest switching over to that

There’s a list of extra patches you can add to morphe here: https://old.reddit.com/r/MorpheApp/comments/1ta0bek/how_to_patch_more_apps_with_morphe/

They’ve always designed around ensuring good Linux support with their component choices and support of fwupd, but their marketing focused on being repairable and upgradable, unlike companies like System76, who explicitly sell their laptops as Linux laptops. It seems they’ve recently started advertising their Linux support more, possibly due to their partnership to have Ubuntu pre-installed, possibly due to seeing just how many Linux users they already had or possibly due to the number of people switching from Windows to Linux.

And repaste it if you’re going this far

Just like Ubuntu and several other distros they have a server focused variant

Even if you check, you should download with curl and check the downloaded file, then run that, as a malicious server could present a normal download to browsers based on user agent and other fingerprinting data, while presenting a malicious script to curl

Wish people would stop suggesting the pipe to bash scripts as an install method but the simplicity of being able to tell all Linux and Mac users to just paste a string into their terminal to install and letting the script deal with any differences between systems is probably why we keep seeing it for major projects, rather than a long list of instructions for different distros

The person using it has previously claimed in a comment that they do it in an attempt to poison AI, up to you if you want to believe them, but that’s what they’ve previously stated. Personally I find it annoying to read and tend to skip their comments.
