From the flathub discourse:
I was just casually installing updates through KDE Discover, then a message dialog appeared and said “Ryujinx (Ryubing) is no longer available due to a dmca takedown. Would you like to remove it?”.
First, I clicked “no” and clicked “refresh”, the “update” was still there. When I clicked “Update All”, it brought up that same dialog prompt.
So I clicked “yes” thinking it would only remove the update prompt, but nope it DELETED the ENTIRE application from my system.
Why? I don’t understand.
Isn’t there any way to just disable the update prompt?
And how do I get Ryubing emulator back?
If it was KDE Discover that was responsible for deleting it ENTIRELY from my system instead of just the reference, that’s so evil of them to do that.
I’m gonna ask about it on KDE discourse as well.
Please help me!!!
And the worst thing is, it also deleted all my save data from the games I dumped, everything, GONE! Why did it have to do this?
Okay thankfully the data is still there. But just not the application anymore.
It sounds like Discover did what you asked it to.
This is a case where the buttons should have been labeled better. Yes and No are poor labels. But I don’t see in Discover’s codebase where these are configured.
Can you clarify what sent this message? Was it Discover itself? If you have a screenshot of it, that would be helpful.
I forgot to take a screenshot. Interestingly enough, the moment I reinstalled it from the terminal, the flathub page for installing it was restored. But if any flathub apps get DMCA’d in the future, I’ll definitely post a screenshot of the dialog box.
It should have three buttons instead of two: “Remove reference”, “Delete application” and “Cancel”. Where “Remove reference” would just remove the reference for obtaining updates from the flatpak source.
