I guess you don't use any laptops than.
> I'd rather sacrifice some security and keep my freedom. We're already losing the war against general-purpose computing.
That's a false dichotomy. As a user you can give all the permissions you want to a sandboxed app you want to use. The only one losing freedom is the potential malware writer.
If you are true to this sentiment, I guess you run everything under the root/admin account of the computer, because that gives you maximum freedom, right? A non-root user is a sandboxed user.
To be fair, we don't have the other kinds of exploits on phones, like ransomware, so it does show that sandboxing mitigates many risks.
This whole pandemic the CDC proved that it cant think more than one step ahead. Just like it was advising against wearing masks because it was afraid of them being unavailable to health workers.
So the CDC credibility will take yet another hit after it insisted so hard that if you get vaccinated you can do whatever you want and you don't need to worry about covid ever again.
