Well, the IRC client I use does the same. I use Pidgin. If I hit "close", an applet remains in the bar. I think (but not tried) that if I "closed" it, I can still be called by someone that wants to call me - like a phone. That's why it doesn't really close.
Yes granted, so does Basket, keepassx(c) and pidgin -- but none of them have pre-set privacy controls that allow then to find all social media apps on your computer and scrape you and all of your unwitting friends info....
Possibly. I have not installed it (yet?), so I do not know.
This thing collects video and photos from your web-cam as well as your voice and it is in the business of selling all of it to the highest bidder (or dumping it to any bidder that will offer money)
That is the type of app I'll see if it works and then zypper rm -u as quickly as possible.
Or, just create an apparmour profile for it, and jail it.
I sure hope the SuSE folks get IRC connected, because this little gem skates over the end of what is reasonable from a privacy concern standpoint.
Well, I can tell you that the admin folks use IRC since long :-) But I do not know if Matrix connects the #opensuse-admin channel to discord. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.1 (Legolas))
