Is there any practical impact to this? Zoom is broken, shouldn't need root at all, and there's no excuse for this kind of sloppiness, but...does it matter? Is there any Mac out there where this is a problem? Is there a single Mac out there with multiple users and Zoom installed? I'm being slightly hyperbolic, but this is a giant nothingburger.
- calvinmorrison 4y agoI am of the camp that very little software should be installed globally. Instead I make use of a precocious and large ~/bin and other things in my less privileged user directories
- epistasis 4y agoI've gone as far as to keep an ~/opt that has bin/, man/, lib/, src/, etc. underneath it, and when I can use --prefix on the configure script. Udocker and singularity (the containerization toolset) also help a ton too. Docker's root requirements make it unsuitable for lots and lots of situations where it would otherwise be useful.
