A newly discovered Linux malware dubbed 'DISGOMOJI' uses the novel approach of utilizing emojis to execute commands on infected devices in attacks on government agencies in India.

    More so, if it is easily sandboxed, it should just be a webapp. Which discord already is.
    Just use the website.

    Browsers are already easily themed, have plenty of tools to change deeper functionality, and are way more sandboxed than any other app packaging ecosystem.

      I tried that, but I had problems with my audio setup every time I used it.

      That’s a good argument.
