My bad then. I’m sorry I thought you were a shill, but those do come through here pretty often to dump their winblow and crApple dung.
As I said in another response, security is difficult to marry with convenience. You can see it on mobile operating systems where a flashlight app asks for network and storage permissions, and users just accept because they can’t be bothered with even reading it.
I too recognise that there is a lot of room to improve, but I’m hopeful that with more attention, linux will become more secure. There will be more brainpower and money flowing into it.
Yeah the real point was that those systems have things in place we could stand to learn from, to do better, and continue to keep people protected. It’s a learning lesson we could stand to be more careful.
I’m cynical of it mostly due to the way people respond when you suggest it in cases like the AUR malware. Speaking of mobile permissions I’m impressed with Voyager (my Lemmy client), it asked for literally nothing!
