Prompt on close is very bad solution in terms of UX. For example, I never click minimize in Discord because I hate non-tray apps if I need them in background. I dislike Obsidian for that because I can't even use RBTray without enabling native window frame which is worse than standard.

And because of habit to have minimize-to-tray on [x] I would also dislike moving that option to [_] and reserve [x] to exit. I know I will just press it because of habit and close my active chat with app. And discord is not fast app to load on my PC.

But technically it will be best solution if they want to comply with the requirements of officials. Or maybe already implemented one-time prompt is enough for them.


It's only a bad solution if it's not disable-able and it happens in all cases (rather than only when the user is still in a call).

Ideally it's a warning that you can disable. With safety/privacy it's generally preferable to have warnings as the default and allow users to take the trainer wheels off rather than risk a new user exposing themself accidentally.


Yes, that would work too and quite good practice. But not sure if I like that it's push from officials anyway, especially when I see that's adjacent to other "breaches" in that document.


You need to know percentile, not score.


It shouldn't have the right to restrict re-selling but sure it's ok to have the right to not sell to somebody anymore.


They've already got that right.
