It's so catchy
It's so catchy
There's no escapin', this song's amazin'
And so catchy
You'll never get it out your head
You'll sing the words until you are dead
Even when you sleep, it plays on repeat
It's so catchy
So what? The message is kinda sexist
Girls don't need brain cells, just big ole seashells
Also don't be fat. But you'll ignore that
'Cause It's catchy
Yeah, because when people see patterns, it's always safer to err on the side of there being an actual pattern. Now let's start believing in astrology and numerology!
The fact that you think you've presented a "gotcha" argument speaks volumes. Of course I have cognitive biases. That's the fucking point, idiot. The difference between my observation and his is that evidence points to the fact the most people see patterns in things such as this where there isn't any. Events cluster. There's nothing special about events that happened to cluster. In fact, a certain quote about correlation vs causation is well repeated around these parts. I'm surprised people are even debating this.
And MY point is that it IS about whether your root permissions accidental or not. I can type rm -rf / tmp by accident right now and nothing would happen because I AM NOT ROOT. I simply cannot trash my hardware in that way without first having intentionally logged in as root or sudo. The comparison is simply moot.
There's no should or shouldn't about it though. It's the root account. By definition, everything the system allows you to do is achievable from that account. The argument should not be "it shouldn't allow you to do that even as root", but "there should probably be higher privileges below root rather than making people go all or nothing". I would agree with the second argument, but I'm the one making it.
I wasn't being smug. I was noting that doing something as specific as that while running as root is on par in intentionality as your Windows example. Your comment wasn't helpful either, to say that it's harder to do in Windows.
Humans are very predictable. Cognitive biases are common. It's like you're asking "you don't know him, how do you know he's breathing?". Think about it, genius.
But Linux was working, right? So it didn't fuck up Linux, nor the base Debian/Ubuntu install. It fucked up XFCE, which is something that is an unfortunate side effect of having the user interface as an uninstallable add-on. The fact you use XFCE on Ubuntu means you chose that desktop environment by choice. Would you rather Linux make it easier for you by forcing you to use KDE 4.0 (or Gnome 3), say, so that it can't be uninstalled by accident?
Mounting UEFI variables as read only breaks things too. How will you get rid of that problem once you get rid of systemd? Or is everything systemd's fault by default now?
Once again the MRA SJWs can't stand the fact that men aren't the primary victims of war votes people down. "Oh no, they're taking away men's rights to be victims!!"
But they are soldiers. They're not victims. If you're a soldier, you should at least expect to get injured, if not maimed, tortured or killed. A victim is someone who has no part in the fight but end up bearing the consequences anyway.
As such, yes, women have been the primary victims of war. Because not only do they get murder and raped by the opposing forces, often they get murdered and raped by their own side.
Given how law enforcement can't tell the fucking difference between a clock and a bomb, I wouldn't trust them to know the difference between opinion and a terrorist act. Maybe if they demonstrate they're not incompetent. But we know that will be never.

Yeah, keep denying reality. We know how well that's working out for America.
And how is still systemd's fault?

My point is that logging in as root or typing sudo and a password is intentional. You can't accidentally get root permissions. That's why they exist.

Really? How come your system doesn't say you don't have permission to delete / ?
Or just use tab autocomplete.
I'm pretty sure it's a cognitive bias rather than a real pattern you have spotted there.
That's your answer to everything.
You have to be pretty intentional to run rm -rf / as root...

Basically, bugs are also now part of the filesystem.

More people have died from the effects of war than the actual fighting itself. Soldiers are not the primary victims of war.
