I don't know what to think about this.

When I hopped onto the Linux bandwagon in the 1990's, the community was touting its amazing security because any damage done was compartmentalized to a particular account. (Of course, that ignores root escalations. Of course, few Linux users cared about that back then because it was an obscure operating system.) In contrast, Macintosh and Windows (non-NT) security was non-existent.

These days, I find increasing security measures both burdensome and restrictive. That said, it is also necessary. We have long left the era when one could trust supposedly reputable software vendors -- never mind random developers.
