Every day we stray farther from the premise that we should be allowed to install / modify software on the computers we own.

Will once again re-up the concept of a “right to root access”, to prevent big corps from pulling this bs over and over again: https://medhir.com/blog/right-to-root-access

Tell that to all those assholes that are making malware and scamming society on billions.

Most of users are not able to keep themselves safe in the internet - they want to install all kind of crap without thinking too much.

All of this is companies making it possible that average Joe could just click links, install any kind of crap and still be somewhat secure.

I know literally 0, 0 people who have installed malwares or had their smartphones hacked in their life times.

The very few I know that have had this happen where all computer users, and virtually all victims of social hacking such as "hey, I'm from IT department, sending you an email, could you please...". A friend of mine exposed sensible data of thousands of customers of her bank like this.

> scamming society on billions

so somehow my friends and family got hacked, lost money but don't know about it?

actually i know of one case where my mom got billed for airbnb even tho she didn't book the ticket but pretty sure I had her password in a text file so might've been me that got hacked on my PC.

Airbnb refunded her and then had no more issues. So 1 case in my entire life and it probably wasn't on a mobile device.

You can get hacked without losing money. If you devices gets used in a bot net, if your computer gets used to mine crypto, etc. Your work files gets stolen by hackers and sold to competitors in china, etc.

All those are things normal people wont notice.
