You mean it only did things you told it to do? That's a feature. Programs absolutely could have much more controllable auto save before for when it made sense.

- astrange 1y ago"I lose work when the power goes out" is not a feature. Neither is "I can't apply security updates because I can't restart". Speaking of security it didn't have app sandboxing either.
- fidotron 1y agoYou mean programs could access the file system normally? They were absolutely isolated as standard unix processes. This is what I mean about iOSification - it's trending towards being a non serious OS. Linux gets more attractive by the day, and it really is the absence of proper support of hardware in the class of the M series that prevents a critical mass of devs jumping ship.
- astrange 1y agoThe only Unix security boundary is between users. There isn't a standard boundary between "a web browser tab" and "the file with your credit card info in it".
