      What has this anything to do with leaking personal data? This is about the global shortcuts, that can be used while your operating system focus is on another application. This is a long standing issue on Wayland and just recently got solved I think. And Discord being one of the first to make use of this new Wayland “feature” is absurd (in a good way). So I don’t understand where you coming from with this statement.

            “What exactly do you want tell me with that? I should” click on those links?

            I’m guessing their point was to do with the 1st word in the title of the thread.

              But your link does not address my issue, you are talking about data leaks. But the global shortcuts on Wayland has nothing to do with Discord dataleaks that happened in the past. You are conflicting two different topics here. Click the link I provided (its not a search link, its an actual result) and read through to understand what global shortcuts are.

                  This has nothing to do with data leaks. Global shortcuts just mean that if you focus on a different application, then you can still control the application in background with shortcuts like Ctrl+1. That’s all. This changes nothing about data collection or data leaking.

                    Bro. Stop. It’s called mockery. A joke at the expense of others. A denigrating remark to the detriment of a person or entity, often (but not necessarily) based on real observations.

                    Obviously, global shortcuts probably won’t leak personal data, I’m not a fucking moron. But Discord has had several high-profile massive data leaks, with some, frankly, bullshit official responses. It’s fun to mock them by assuming there will be another.

                    I guess I’m sorry that your life is bereft of whimsy.
