Breezy weather also allows you to select weather data from multiple sources. It even let’s you select which type of data to get from which provider.

It could be nice, but also annoying in some cases. I would at least want to have an option to allow all the time.

I would like to see the same thing for clipboard read access. In the same way app has to prompt you for location permission it would have to prompt you to read the clipboard and you would actually have the option to allow it all the time which is handy for some apps like clipboard manager, or don’t allow it alltogether which is handy for some random apps you don’t trust.

In this case, I think it’s protecting apps from other apps. No secret screen recording going on while you’re looking at bank statements, etc.

I think with all the engineers at Google developing Android they could come up with a solution of how to discern whether the act of screenshot was triggered solely by the user, or an app on the phone. They are the ones in power of all the APIs that allow other apps to capture the screen content in the first place. Maybe I am simplifying it too much, but this seems as a bad excuse to me.

Maybe it would be too hard of a solution since there’s so many ways third party apps could capture screen content (including for example the Android accessibility service which also allows apps to read content of the screen and even simulate screen touches and gestures which many automation apps make use of) that blocking the screenshot alltogether is by far the most feasible solution.

Am I dumb or Mint still uses Plasma 5 on xorg by default and its wayland support is mediocre?
