Do not disassemble!

I don't know if this is the real reason, but maybe the distinction is that fire spells don't have to set people on fire, but torture spells are designed to hurt living things.

That is to say, a fire spell will have similar results on a person or a chair, but a torture spell is going to have a way different result on a person than it does on a chair.

What does manjaro use? Pacman? Yeah those are installing apps to the system, via root. (Sudo).

@frankie
Are you familiar with sandboxed applications (e.g., Flatpak)? Those are analogous to android apps (also sandboxed). You don't need to have root access to install them because they don't change the system; they're installed in the user's directory by design. (The user is even warned *not* to install via sudo).

My kid's android is locked down so they can't install apps, so if you are truly worried I bet you could lock down your phone, too.

Or just keep it locked?

@frankie
Linux distros only ask if you're installing outside user space. (You're not installing outside user space on Android) Your work PC is likely locked down. I'm pretty sure you can lock down your android phone too, if you want. I haven't used windows in a while but I don't recall it ever demanding a password for installing application

@frankie
If "other OSes" means iOS, then I suspect it's because it's easy to implement since the only way to install an app is via their store.

Does your PC ask for a password to install an application?

@oguzhanaydin
Right, it's like asking why your refrigerator doesn't require the key to your front door.

Investigators: we couldn’t find the #SCOTUS Dobbs leaker sorry

People: who did you interview

Investigators: literally everyone except the prime suspects who had motive means and opportunity

People: why not

Investigators: we didn’t want to seem rude or discourteous

I have no idea why I just assumed it would be part of the Fedilab app. Thanks!

I don't know if this is a silly question but are there any plans to support peertube?
