The latter I can absolutely agree with, but I can also understand KDE's move because being a non-profit, it needs more permanent donors who don't just donate a large amount at once, but smaller amounts multiple times.)<br>(That being said, if I were them, I'd put the "notification" in the settings, under the window header, with a dismiss button. If a user dismisses it, it appears 2-3 months later. This way it wouldn't be that annoying but at the same time it's also more noticeable. What do you think about this? Let me know in the comments below.)</p><p>Ubuntu gets new Security Center and Prompting Client tools, former is for managing Snap permissions, latter is for AppArmor permissions:<br><a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/09/ubuntus-new-security-center-readies-stable-release" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/09/ubuntu</span><span class="invisible">s-new-security-center-readies-stable-release</span></a><br>(Canonical: Hey Flatseal!
