Good News, Everyone!
Canonical has implemented one of my suggestions after the recent crypto scam issue in the Snap Store. This is excellent progress and should be applauded. 👏

@popey I don't get my head around why people are falling for these scams in the first place. Same for the current global theme issue with KDE. People don't read the instructions anymore and blame the OS, not the scam developer or themselves for being stupid and careless.

People never read instructions to begin with, why do you think self serve checkouts need people there guiding users how to use them. It's easy to assume that everyone else has the same knowledge base that you do but that's often not the case if you're an experienced user
