Alert fatigue -> user accepts everything


Is there a better solution though? I agree that's a super real thing, but having no security at all (as is the case now, basically) is infinitely worse.

We would need to change some things, but I'd love to know if some random lib I'm using is trying to do things my application shouldn't. Or if something I installed, say Docker, is trying to access my photos or ssh keys.


That was my experience of SELinux.


See Windows Vista for reference.


This was my first thought too!

It was also my first thought after I recently upgraded MacOS, and was bombarded with multiple permission dialogs whenever I did anything.


True, but this just makes the point more. Because after that was 7, with lessons learned. Gotta start somewhere
