Its a lot harder and can do significantly less damage if it doesnt have root privileges, its like how putting a lock on the door to your house wont stop thieves but its better then not having one.

Foot is the best
Yeah, its blatant historical revisonism. Just look at any of the comments here that point it out (they all have very good points).
Thats why on Linux you need to run the sudo command and type the root password (or user password) to install something. I get this isn’t Linux but its a serious security vulnerability that someone could run a super user level command by clicking yes on a confirmation box that pops up so often that nobody thinks twice.
We keep doing “harm reduction” but after what point is is truly harm reduction and when does it because a slow decline into fascism? Right now the “harm reduction” policy means voting for genocide, war, a fascist border policy, less social programs for the poor, more money for the rich, mass censorship, and surveillance. What will you Liberals say when the Kamala runs again but even more right wing, and then what? When does the insanity end? At what point do we vote for Fascists as a form of “harm reduction” while the planet dies? How long do we truly have to keep making the capitalist class rich at our expense before there is no future generations to protect? I reject this line of thinking, true freedom cannot come from reform. We need a new revolution or we will not be alive to tell our story.
Good thing im not going there
Ikr, im desperately trying to leave
They would rather make it harder for people to access their content rather than making it easier to be a paying customer
I use a T440p and it works amazing for lightweight gaming (tested so far: Fallout NV, BTD6, Minecraft, and Enter the Gungeon)
Graphic designers makes sense, also a PNG made in a proprietary program can be viewed with any photo viewer. Documents editors are completely different.
That’s what they are, even according to themselves they’re settlers. Perhaps a more accurate term might be settler-colonial but I think just settler works (when you stop glorifying America settlers it especially works.)
Why should there be? If someone wants more expensive software then they should pay for it.
That would genuinely make sense though, proprietary software (especially paid proprietary software) costs more money for any company then open source software. Windows needs more maintenance then an ultra stable Linux distro like Debian or even an LTS release of Ubuntu or Fedora. Meanwhile Microshaft ensures that any document made with office doesn’t look the same unless it’s viewed with office.
What? No genuinely which company is docking employees for using unfree software. If anything it’s the opposite.
You can exit vim but you can never quit
I’m glad people are starting to care about digital privacy even after three decades of people like me being annoying
I’m glad I don’t use Winbloat
Womp womp, that’s what happens when you shut down the global economy clownstrike
It should be default, its a good security practice and not every app needs super user permissions.
