On Linux, any program can access any file it wants to and send it all over the internet and you can't do anything about it... So much for user control.

>>107680284Boy are you dumb.
Although OP is fucking retarded, I wish there were some nice gui for apparmor or selinux like flatseal>inb4 just use the cliI do, but I prefer guis
>>107680284Furst of all you have no idea what you're talking about. Second, smart phones were a mistake and a disgrace to computers.
This thread is bait and we are all retards for replying to it. Let it die.
>>107680284The real linux issue is that applications drag in dependencies which are treated as full applications too, which might frag in dependencies which...And soon you'll end up asking yourself "when/why the hell did I install that?", only to find yourself unable to remove it because some other thing two layers above depends on itI have no need for sudo, I do not want it, I wish it never existed, yet time and time again I find it has magically reappeared on my system, wow, thanks linux
>>107680284Because those "permissions" are a fake security theater.If something can access your files, it has access to everything and nothing else matters anymore.The only other permission that would matter, is network access, and we have firewalls for that.AppArmor will cover any other need.
>>107680308There is a thread in the catalog right now claiming that a repository depends on one single website.The utter retardation we witness nowadays is unreal.Do those people need someone to tell them how to breath? Why are they on a technology board if they are dumber than a tech illiterate boomer?>>107681191No, those dumb threads aren't bait.>haha, i got those people hard by behaving retarded!Isn't a thing anymore. Those people are actually this dumb.
yet another example of an utterly stupid post, that requires of you to be illiterate to believe: >>107681206
>>107680284Google has an absolute monopoly on the android ecosystem. You either do what they tell you to do or GTFO. Alternative is writing your own alternative android fork that would probably only work with a single brand or model.>>107681207Wrong, storage access framework exists. Unless you're implying that you have a 0-day for SAF, in which case you probably shouldn't spout that on an "anonymous" image board
>>107681206nixos doesn't have this issue
>>107681229Oh really? Go on, use arch for a month without gmic or avahi randomly appearing on your system.
When are flatpaks getting prompts for missing permissions? Even Snaps support this.
>>107681234>storage access framework existsAnd? Just ask for permission to access "Files and Media" or "All Files" or whatever other permission all the camera and explorer apps use. You only need access to someones pics to utterly rape and blackmail them.All those fine grained permissions are a scam, that only cause a false sense of security, which led to phones being filled with malware. You train your users to give blanket permissions, by showing them a list of harmless sounding shit on every app install.All those "residential proxies" you see are done by malware apps some idiot got baited to install on his phone, that uses up his data. Meanwhile those insecure PCs with their insecure safeboot disabled Linux installations don't such malware issues.btw. all the big tech apps open local ports that they use to communicate with tracking scripts on website. That alone can be abused by every single other app.The security concept of phones is:>users are total idiots>make sure to switch responsibility on those idiots>but make it sound as pleasing as possibleUnless you are a big corporation that wants to fuck its users in a legally safe way, idk why anyone would want that.
>>107681275Somehow you were able to uninstall sudo but then accidentally got it pulled in again, because somehow you were allowed to remove stuff and break dependencies of other stuff?Whatever fantasy story you made up is a complete lie that you have to be braindead to believe.
>>107681345>Somehow you were able to uninstall sudo but then accidentally got it pulled in againPacman -Rs about a year agoThe recently pulled in by base-devel>because somehow you were allowed to remove stuff and break dependencies of other stuff?I wasn't. That's... the point
>>107681336Just don't allow them? Using lowest common denominator for the security of system is stupid. Karen from HR getting social engineered into giving her password doesn't mean the entire IT system is flawed in terms of software.In the same way, just be aware what each permission does. And maybe be aware of the apps you're letting access everything.
>>107681395Maybe, if you are really this dumb, PCs aren't for you?If i would be your parent, i wouldn't allow you to use a phone either, you would just install some malware and get yourself scammed. which is a much larger issue than deliberately breaking dependencies and then getting angry when your breakage is being fixed.Being dumb is not a virtue. Spreading low-IQ retardation on /g/ is pointless. There are no newfags who would fall for those lies and blunders. It's just a waste of time.
>>107680284Portmaster for application based firewall, flatseal for flatpak permissions. Still miles away from android's security, but it is something. GNU/Linux wasn't really build for security, especially against malicious applications.
