The joke's on you, malware devs! I never use Discord, and never did on my Linux machines.

And it targets the BOSS environment, which is used by Indian officials.

BOSS environment

Bee Open Source Software?

We talking about software for Haiku?

I would assume this just relies on the Discord API being read by the bot - and not on having a local discord installed...

Let's see if the flatpak ideas about sandboxing being pushed down our throats actually prevent these abuses or not...

I'm honestly so sick of everything being sandboxed. The security is not worth the hassle.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

More so, if it is easily sandboxed, it should just be a webapp. Which discord already is.
Just use the website.

Browsers are already easily themed, have plenty of tools to change deeper functionality, and are way more sandboxed than any other app packaging ecosystem.

I tried that, but I had problems with my audio setup every time I used it.

That’s a good argument.

Everything is ever so slightly broken in a way that I just can't ignore. Personalization doesn't quite work. Permissions are overwhelming and usually lead to silent failures. Integration with the rest of the system is weak at best.

so problems from programs that don't support flatpak, not flatpak fault, because everything you said is supported

this isn't even caused by flatpak, it's the app fault

I don't care whose fault it is, it's obnoxious and I don't want to bother with it. Lately though, it seems like everything is only being released as a flatpak app despite those issues.
