It doesn't.

We've had user-based permissions in the mainstream on personal devices ever since XP, and they have totally failed to protect us from anything. It is an utterly broken, worse than useless, backwards model of security for this class of device.

If you think I'm wrong, by all means tell me why instead of just downvoting like some reddit user. I'll happily provide you with a list of all the ransomware that didn't require even a single elevated permission to ruin someone's day.

From the guidelines:

> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Better to provide that list without complaining about the downvotes. Even better would be suggesting how you would improve the system.

Even better would be if I just left this hellhole I think. The only difference between this place and the cesspool of reddit seems to be that people here think they're better than redditors while behaving exactly the same way.

If that’s what you think about it, then yeah, I agree you should, at least until you cool off anyway.
