What do you think of the permissions associated with Android apps? Each developer gets a separate and cordoned user account on your phone. They only have access to private storage unless they request it through special APIs.
Android apps are run in containers, for some broad sense of the word. That's how it should be. Every app I run should be run with a simply configured set of permissions, and "per app" or "as user" makes sense, even in the desktop space. That's what snap originally tried to do (but failed at, and have now broken)
- taeric 7y agoIsn't that where I said it can get silly? I don't want developers having an account on my phone. I just want to process some data on my phone. Consider that on my phone, I am limited to accessing my data for most apps through the apps. On my computer, I typically know where the data is stored.
