I just want Apple and Linux to offer ASAP:
1. Extremely granular ways to let user control network and disk access to apps (great if resource access can also be changed)
2. Make it easier for apps as well to work with these
3. I would be interested in knowing how adding a layer before CLI/web even gets the query OS/browser can intercept it and could there be a possibility of preventing harm before hand or at least warning or logging for say someone who overviews those queries later?
And most importantly — all these via an excellent GUI with clear demarcations and settings and we’ll documented (Apple might struggle with documentation; so LLMs might help them there)
My point is — why the hell are we waiting for these companies to be good folks? Why not push them behind a safety layer?
I mean CLI asks .. can I access this folder? Run this program? Download this? But they can just do that if they want! Make them ask those questions like apps asks on phones for location, mic, camera access.

Indeed, the world would be a much nicer place if only firewalls and Unix permissions existed...
