My phone has this thing where apps ask permission for my contacts.
I would prefer something that worked more like,
App says to OS, please let the user select a contact and then give me an opaque identifier that I can use to send data to the contact.
This way the desired functionality is there, but the app never gets the contact list.
- ElectricalUnion 4y agoThis is what Flatpak tries to do; provide "portal" APIs, that only provide a small slice of your system (one file, one folder, one screen to share), instead of allowing rampart access to the entire system and hoping that the program does nothing wrong. I also wish more Flatpak applications actually used those sandboxing options.
