  Permission-based systems are bad. See #XUL getting replaced by #WebExtensions for example. It didn't stop #malware from getting into the #browser or the extension store. On the contrary, the malware problem only got worse after the complete replacement of XUL extensions, which is often disparaged as "insecure" because it allowed users to pretty much change how their browser fundamentally works.
  
  Who knew that distrusting your users and not giving them control leads to more malicious software and user #security being broken more often. :seija_coffee:

    @ubergeek@tilde.zone Not only does #Flatpak not take away any of your freedoms, it actually does the opposite. With a traditional package, you have absolutely no control over what you authorize (usually it's all or nothing). But with Flatpak and Portals, you can fine-tune every permission.
