All of that is optional in Flathub too. That makes it inherently weaker.

It's described precisely nowhere. For GNOME in particular, there's no way to review and update app permissions (either to open them up or close them further). KDE Plasma is getting this capability with KDE Plasma 5.27. And Flatseal (a third party app that someone has to figure out exists) isn't a valid answer. Just like how customizing GNOME using Tweaks isn't a valid answer. :) -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
