Company zero trust policies can make that impossible. In such cases you can reinstall official approved releases but not manually sudo random things

- soraminazuki 2y agoI'm aware that some companies implement that kind of security policy. But that makes it the company's job to make sure fixes for software critical to development are rolled out in a timely fashion. The way the OP is raging at everybody except their own company is totally unreasonable. Also, disallowing root is developer hostile security theater IMO. It prevents a wide range of debugging techniques while being limited in the kind of harm it prevents. Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1200/ https://xkcd.com/1200/

- JohnMakin 2y agoIt’s theater but any heavily audited environment will have compliance requirements like this. It is unreasonable to blame the person implementing the requirements as if it’s their fault the compliance stipulations exist. and even then it’s completely reasonable to disallow unlimited privileges on a managed workstation. the first time you deal with a breach because some idiot developer decided to install malware masquerading as a chatgpt wrapper will teach you this lesson.
