With a Web app as complex as Slack, it&#39;s hard to say if it&#39;s intentional or some programmer unknowingly making a change that proactively tries to get those permissions -- most of their Web devs have presumably already granted permission and would never notice the change and/or are using the desktop app. 2025-09-16T02:40:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsydsjrhkmhe2g0349n9h65z9wsmgy3vglj3368lmpgvmquy0kpc0czyzjgyy3wdk2yw98tgnjuq9qhktyzwaquszrhq8xvdrxrc8799clcksjp46x Nature: &#34;Time for adults to finally act like adults on climate change&#34;<br/><br/><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01380-w">https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01380-w</a> 2025-05-08T11:14:40Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy4ug4f9mjsn8j2gnaurwvrgkapuhsnk7uev07r4xf9vq5ypn9pvczyzjgyy3wdk2yw98tgnjuq9qhktyzwaquszrhq8xvdrxrc8799clckyvsy2a In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxhhvlvts8r6pn8xsqapmf3zr5ahqdytrc8u3gt3mvqvppucwh8tcphca3f'>nevent1q…ca3f</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That might temporarily change when the Expo starts next month. 2025-03-17T02:46:35Z
