>throwing up a ton of warnings for apps
Users very quickly learn to ignore warning popups. It's why you end up with flashlight apps that can access your contacts with millions of downloads. This "fix" almost never works in practice. It didn't work in 2006 when Microsoft introduced it in Vista w/ UAC, and it's not going to work 18 years later where users are even less technical.
- beezlewax 3y agoThere's also a certain amount of fatigue I associate with these warnings and popups now. Its getting to the point where I'm more and more likely to just ignore them and give up my data without a fight and I say that as a software engineer.
- xlii 3y agoI completely agree with your point but then we have an other side of the coin with endless arguments about blue/green bubble.
