So is it pretty much an unofficial Spin then?

maybe it's a good thing these blind haters of anime stuff aren't nearby

To 1.: dri instead of all would handle hardware-accelerated rendering. Then some webcams or controllers won't be accessible though. This one's a bit complicated, since the necessary portals for e.g. generic USB device access aren't yet there.

To 2.: portals should be used instead of that. Using them doesn't require these permissions.

To 3.: click on details and see. This is Flathub making it easy to understand for users.

Permissions should make clear whatever dangerous things an app can do. If not, why do all this effort of isolation? Firefox could delete everything in downloads, either by accident on Mozilla's side, or a privilege escalation. If the app used portals instead, it couldn't, at least without user interaction. Or a browser security vulnerability could open up any USB devices to webpages. It's all about what could happen with granted permissions. And these can 100 % be fixed in at least some way.

Apps could start improving to remove the warnings…

Well you do you. I don't see the point in hating open source software made by them, you're not paying them unlike with regular products and boycotting them.

You're complaining about corporate fundings. Without them, a lot of open source tech would definitely not be as advanced as it is today. Since everything's open source, anyone can just fork a project when some "malicious megacorp" "hijacks" the project. Funny how a similar case happened "the good way" recently with Redis/Valkey, but the other way around.

There's always some doomers only seeing potential bad futures in awesome stuff, huh?

There's an in-development program for GNOME called Valent. It's been pretty solid for me. It's also not a GNOME shell extension, instead a native app.

Neckbeards love to pretend open source magically has no security vulnerabilities

Who does? Feels like you're just talking about inexperienced "btw i use arch" kinda skiddies

Don't e.g. alarm apps not work after that until you unlock your phone since the device data decryption keys weren't kept in RAM after rebooting? I have that feature off since I don't want that to happen. Afaik AOSP has added that to make installing updates more seamless, but it'd be useful for this too. (And since Samsung usually sucks at improving their already self-made stuff to align with AOSP, like Virtual A/B updates, I'm just assuming this)
