1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    This has put me in mind of when OSX added virtual desktops. Everyone forgot that they've been a thing in *nix for 30 years, and NextOS (which OSX was built on top of) already had them. So Apple purposefully removed them, let people complain about not having them (and build their own 3rd party solutions) for something like 8 years, then got mountains of positive press for the "new innovation" of virtual desktops. Isn't Apple amazing!

    Great job Microsoft! I'm sure this is a game changer for the world.

    Ah MacOS, don't forget they're continuing to neuter root/sudo ~~probably for some future goal of a walled garden desktop/laptop ๐Ÿคฎ~~ for "privacy and security"

    [โ€“] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year ago

    Apple may introduce it again, but not before they get some trademark word for it like "Secure Ascension(TM)".

    fyi the NeXT OS is called NeXTSTEP.

    To be honest, the first incarnation of Spaces was really damn good; they deserved some credit for that. Then they made it worse so it matches iOS.

    [โ€“] JoMomma@lemm.ee 63 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

    Are they actually naming the command "sudo" or is that just a comparison?

    Edit: apparently yes, the audacity lol

    [โ€“] Titou@feddit.de 37 points 1 year ago

    Looks like they didn't even tried to hide it : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sudo/

    Don't forget all the UI/UX they've been copying from KDE. Working at Microsoft must be such an easy job when the open source community does all your work for you.

    The command has a smile C: so you know its safe.

    actually, powershell also has aliases for unix-like commands, for examplerm. iirc you need rm -Force tho

    [โ€“] Blackmist@feddit.uk 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    People are laughing, but it is annoying to open a Windows terminal, get a couple of steps into whatever you were doing, and find you need admin privileges for some bullshit.

    Pressing up, home, "sudo " and enter is a lot quicker than opening a new command prompt in admin mode.

    you can emulate this currently with psutils until the official sudo for windows comes out :)

    also thefuck is even funner :)

    [โ€“] MetaCubed@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

    I unironically have thefuck installed in a few of my more frequently logged VMs. Incredibly convenient.

    [โ€“] vox@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

    I've been already using gsudo for that purpose

    I think you're misunderstanding their goal.

    What parent is likely referencing

    TBH I wonder if the current Microsoft is capable of executing that here. I don't believe in a "changed" MS, but Linux is eating the world, and MS doesn't really care about Windows much anymore. Azure happily runs Linux VMs

    I can't wait for their version to be totally broken compared to normal sudo on windows

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Actually, you do... does it have higher authority than TrustedInstaller or SYSTEM?

    [โ€“] eatham@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    No, just admin, which we could already do by running CMD as admin.

    [โ€“] 0x4E4F@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Then it's fucking useless and that IS NOT sudo.

    [โ€“] 800XL@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Reverse engineer denuvo and other kernel-level anti-cheat gaming software and use those methods to write a real sudo command.

    It's already been done, it's called PowerRun.

    https://www.sordum.org/9416/powerrun-v1-6-run-with-highest-privileges/

    Nothing special about it, it just runs everything you load into it as TrustedInstaller or SYSTEM.

    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

    [โ€“] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

    I agree with everything but bash. Bash sucks I'm not going to lie, nearly anything else is better than bash

    sudo can only be elevated via the User Account Control (UAC) security feature designed to protect the operating system from unauthorized changes using verification prompt.

    To drop a feature means to get rid of it. Words have meaning, guys

    [โ€“] Wilzax@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Drop can mean to release or to discontinue, some words have two meanings, which gets selected via context.
