That's not going to stop people from trying though. If people keep abusing the package managers like this, then publishing open source code is at risk of ending up like distributing binaries on Windows, where you need to fight dozens of virus scanners arbitrarily blocking your code for no apparent reason. Imagine opening a tab in VSCode only to see a popup warning saying it might be harmful, even though you just wrote it yourself.
- imwillofficial 4y agoThis kinda happens already. I get prompted to trust stuff I wrote
- dapids 4y agoThat's exactly was vscode does for me.
- jart 4y agoAre you talking about this? https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/workspace-trust https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/workspace-trust That's different from how virus scanners work and not exactly what I'm talking about. Even Emacs does that.
- ElectricalUnion 4y agoThat is different, vscode finally realized most people don't want stuxnet-class implicit autorun behaviour from random files and folders in your system.
