Its a lot harder and can do significantly less damage if it doesnt have root privileges, its like how putting a lock on the door to your house wont stop thieves but its better then not having one.

Yeah, its blatant historical revisonism. Just look at any of the comments here that point it out (they all have very good points).
Thats why on Linux you need to run the sudo command and type the root password (or user password) to install something. I get this isn’t Linux but its a serious security vulnerability that someone could run a super user level command by clicking yes on a confirmation box that pops up so often that nobody thinks twice.
We keep doing “harm reduction” but after what point is is truly harm reduction and when does it because a slow decline into fascism? Right now the “harm reduction” policy means voting for genocide, war, a fascist border policy, less social programs for the poor, more money for the rich, mass censorship, and surveillance. What will you Liberals say when the Kamala runs again but even more right wing, and then what? When does the insanity end? At what point do we vote for Fascists as a form of “harm reduction” while the planet dies? How long do we truly have to keep making the capitalist class rich at our expense before there is no future generations to protect? I reject this line of thinking, true freedom cannot come from reform. We need a new revolution or we will not be alive to tell our story.

I’m still voting Chase Oliver, unlike a certain somebody he’s spoken out against genocide. I refuse in good consciousness vote for somebody who is willing to fund a genocide unless pressured enough.
Ill wear that as a badge of honor :3
Maybe he should make a fanfiction wheres he’s compitant and mentally capable of being president.
I’m aware, however Chromium (or rather Ungoogled Chromium) should only be used if a website doesn’t work on a Firefox based browser.
Proprietary software sucks, use an open source browser like Librewolf.
Then we move on to private equity firms
Ah yes Fascism Lite™, but at least it’s not orange man right?
I literally just stared facts but the person who said “but what about Trump?” got two time more upvotes. People on this platform cannot hold nuanced political discussion, it’s all whataboutism and logical fallacies.
Basically all the popular multiplayer games, meanwhile Linux gets the scraps.
It should be default, its a good security practice and not every app needs super user permissions.
