I tend to think of systems which don't sandbox each process effectively as 'toys' since I can't meaningfully trust them to run code I haven't audited.

- TeMPOraL 11y agoYou can't trust sandboxed systems either, and honestly, who ever audits the code they run? "Auditing code" is a smart-sounding phrase that is meaningless to 99% of users. Also, have you audited your sandbox's code yet? I consider mobile apps toys because they're designed to contain and own your data, and that impares both the ergonomy of work and limits your capability for doing things to whatever is available in the MVP some startup released. Most apps don't evolve past the point of MVP.
- reitanqild 11y agoA chainsaw is also dangerous. You have to know how to use it and you should use protective gear. Definitely not a "toy".
- h1282227 11y agoIn other words. Real scissors are toys but plastic scissors are not toys since you can't hurt yourself with them.
