@denzilferreira@techhub.social @Gargron@mastodon.social so why dont we do this on windows or linux then, both oses by default dont even have a permissions system and give applications near full access to the device

@Chickerino@tech.lgbt @Gargron@mastodon.social that's not true, you do need to raise admin rights to install something not digitally signed on Windows, and admin credentials to install on Linux. On Linux you have Flatpaks that do have permissions in place, and the software runs on a sandbox with only access to what you allow. Windows does not do any of that - hence I'm not gonna even recommend it.

@Chickerino@tech.lgbt @denzilferreira@techhub.social Did I dream I had to crack a Windows machine to install anything? I don’t think so.

@Chickerino@tech.lgbt yeah, and even macOS lets you do that (there is an app permissions system, but it can be disabled with a terminal command (i forgot what it was though)
