What would this look like in use? A permission dialog for every interaction? If you bury the user in those, it doesn’t take long before they just mindlessly smash buttons to make the pain stop.
The infosec community never read The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
- mikewarot 3y ago>What would this look like in use? It would look almost exactly the same thing you already see. Instead of "file open" actually just being a suggestion to the application, the OS would actual enforce the permissions so that the application couldn't do anything else. The usability of such a system wouldn't really ever take a hit. It certainly wouldn't result in excess permission dialogs. You don't see permission dialogs every time you take cash out of your wallet, or when you turn on a light switch. The infosec community is weird, and I'm not part of it. I strongly disagree with them these days.
