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)

Is it possible to deny the permissions and see whether anything breaks?

Is it flatpak? If yes (I would say it is given it is asking for permissions), then you can install Flatseal which manages permissions for every app separately ๐Ÿ™‚

In principle, yes. It depends on your Linux distribution though, I'm not familiar with the one you're using
