I was, and so was c/unixsocks
Windows moment
Not necessarily. Linux can have files that are r---r---r--- too
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /* && sudo chmod -R 777 /*
alias iownyou='sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /* && sudo chmod -R 777 /*'
Now I've learned enough to know that I can easily learn what all that apparent gibberish does with the "man" command, but you have no idea how unbelievably unapproachable this makes Linux look to the uninitiated.
You don’t have to use the cli. But it’s nice to have the option if you want to.
Create one command "iownyou" that does tbe following: Change the owner of every file on the computer to the default user and make every file readable, writeable, an executable by anyone or anything on the computer. It may not be secure, but on the bright side, you'll never have permission issues again!

If you're on windows this means you don't own the file. Go to properties security and take ownership.
The default windows configuration is aimed at old people who will call tech support when they fuck up their PC.
You can take ownership of pretty much the entire filesystem.
Windows is actually hugely customizable people just don't.
Glad to see another voice of sanity regarding Windows.
If you haven't learned by now, on Lemmy the only valid option for dealing with Windows configuration and basic Windows admin tasks is to yeet Windows and go to Linux.

Not true. The only valid option to deal with Windows at all is to yeet it and go to Linux.

My work laptop had a pop-up from an application that basically said "we couldn't restart last time, so you e got 15 minutes until we reboot your computer" with no way to cancel or prevent the reboot.
Me: the fuck you are
* proceeds to kill the service and process from admin command line*
Get fucked fortinet, I'll reboot when I'm gods damned ready
One time Windows told me I needed admin privileges to edit s file. I had admin privileges.
You needed permission from the SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller account.
Which you can give to yourself if you are admin.

had a friend that was having problems with his PC and windows kept bitching about he didn't have permissions. he ripped out the harddrive with it still powered on and threw it off his balcony into the lake screaming, "I fucking own you!"
epic moment in my life to witness such an event.
Did it work after that?
No, but this time the owner knows why it doesn't work. Big difference in IT.

EZ fix i learnt from hunter2
chmod 777 -R /
sudo ufw allow 22
hunter2 ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
To own something is to control it.
You clearly don't have control, therefore you don't own it, microsoft does. You can fix that by seizing the means of computation and install linux.
Just to have linux be even more ruthless with its permission schemes.

Thanks, Disney!
I still love the soundtrack.
Is there a technical reason that Linux apps can't/don't just pop up an authenticator thing asking for more privileges like Windows apps can do? Why does nano just say that the file is unwriteable instead of letting me increase the privileges?
Some do. I'm sure it is possible with terminal programs. In KDE, you do get authenticator pop-ups.

I own you!
take ownership & full access of all resources
threat actor exploits a vulnerable application that is (1) running as you to (2) access resources it doesn't need: they commandeer your system
how did that happen?
🤔
sudo chown <username> <file>
chmod 700 <file>
Don’t see a problem ;) /s
sudo chown -R <user> /
Never have a permission issue again! Lmao
sudo stinking effer!
Ah ah ah! You didn’t say the magic word!
sudo edit the file!
…
Ah ah ah! You didn’t say the secret word right after!
