New permissions requested by Sober (The main Roblox linux client) (lemmy.world)

Hello, recently, the Roblox client "Sober" has been requesting more permissions since the latest update.

  • Screen content
  • Personal subfolder of execution app/com.discord.Discord
  • Personal subfolder of execution discord-ipc-0

Does this seem suspicious to you?

(I'm not taking into account Roblox's privacy policy, which is bad, just the Sober client)

I saw this as well. I just use Flatseal (or KDE's builtin Flatpak permission manager) to remove any permissions I don't like. I do that for all apps.

If I was on my PC, I could reply with my Flatpak overrides. If I remember I'll reply here.

TL;DR Yes, go for it it'll be fine.
