> We have Android, macOS, and iOS, all with limited access to the system, requiring end-user intervention to access certain resources. But what about the Linux desktop?
The author forgot Windows Vista which started this whole shitshow of granular permission popups ;)
But am I the only one who fundamentally does not want this permission popup crap on a desktop operating system? I explicitly want applications to access the data of other applications or even remote-control other apps, that's the base for building automated workflows where the result is more than the sum of its parts.
Let me define sandbox boundaries for whole groups of applications and special safe locations for actually sensitive data, not require each application to live in its own isolated sandbox.
