SUMMARY
I was having a look at the Flatpak permissions page in system settings, which
is great.
I then thought about the idea of replicating what Android used to do, and warn
the user about the permissions an app is going to have when "Install" is
clicked. A simple popup, maybe with all permissions nicely layed down in a
catchy way.
A part from warning users, this could have the benefit of potentially
highlighting cases where the application requires less permissions than it
needs to work properly (happened to me), so that the user has a chance of
noticing immediately instead of after some hours of outrageousness
