I know, I know, "security." This shows utter contempt for the user.

I was just asked to authorize an app that I've used SINCE THE 1990s so it would continue working for a week. And next week I guess it'll ask again?

You have to let the user say, somewhere, "never ask me again--always allow."

@jsnell @9to5Mac This is particularly upsetting because they have a good model for this on iOS. For apps with full location access every (few months?) it pops up a dialog that says something like “hey…just a reminder that this app knows everywhere you go... just confirming you still want that”. That's way better than a blanket nag every week, and Apple invented it! I too prefer a “always allow" button but I’ll take a reminder every few months.
