I don’t think i need to explain how it works, should i ?
To drop a feature means to get rid of it. Words have meaning, guys
Drop can mean to release or to discontinue, some words have two meanings, which gets selected via context.
Hey I know it’s a week later, but I rarely log in to Lemmy.
If you read the headline, it could be interpreted either way. The only way to know the actual meaning is if you already knew what the article was about, but if I knew nothing about windows, I could easily assume that it had a feature called ‘sudo’ which is now being dropped.
Supporting this kind of behavior is how we ended up with the word ‘literally’ meaning both literally and figuratively. Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally
Words can have multiple meanings, but If a word means one thing, but also the opposite of that thing, it adds unnecessary confusion. Not saying there aren’t many other examples, but I think it’s something we should try to avoid.
sudocan only be elevated via the User Account Control (UAC) security feature designed to protect the operating system from unauthorized changes using verification prompt.
Doesn’t that defeat the entire fucking purpose of sudo?
No, you can still run admin commands from a non admin console which is kind of neat.
only through private ownership of property and capitalist competition can good ideas emerge and be adopted
Now get rid of those silly back slashes in paths, use bash as a non mentally deficient shell, change that sad kernel to Linux 6.8 and up, change your laughably sad NTFS to something sane, anything, even ext3 would do but take ext4, get rid of your ridiculous drive letters and instead of copying KDE, why don’t you just switch to KDE on X or Wayland?
Do all that and make it open and free, like all other actual operating systems and we’ll talk
I agree with everything but bash. Bash sucks I’m not going to lie, nearly anything else is better than bash
It’s pretty archeic with it’s syntax. A lot of its features have come about through feature creep. I mean it does a good job but it’s just hard to work with and pretty cobbled together. It’s showing it’s age. If you’ve worked with any large bash scripts you’d understand how much of a pain it can be
I read about this a couple of days ago, apparently some support was there since DOS 2.0.
Gsudo existed before
