Discord High Risk Warning

Text on the meme

“Discord” is High Risk This app uses the legacy X11 windowing system, which allows it to record keystrokes, capture screenshots, and monitor other applications. It also has access to the internet, meaning it could send your data to outside parties. Because the app is proprietary, it can not be audited for what it does with these permissions. Cancel Install Anyway

What it means

A desktop security dialog warns that Discord can record keystrokes, capture screenshots, monitor other applications, and send data over the internet. The joke is the absurd contrast between the alarming warning and the user’s apparent willingness to install the app anyway, making it useful as a reaction to ignoring obvious risks.
