2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

That's an odd choice... If it was possible all along to just ask for a a password on the command line, why make it popup a UAC prompt? These are developers using it after all.
Devs can and have used
runasin the past, that's nothing new, and it does the job quite well. This new thing is just a fad if you ask me, "every OS on the planet has it and Linux is kinda getting traction, plus we're on team FOSS now and all that, so why not make our own version of sudo, but actually make it more complicated to use thanrunasπ" π... I mean, they always do shit like this, take some good idea and turn it into crap, but everyone buys into the idea. Why? Cuz they're MS π.I mean yeah, but also passwordless auth is a good thing. Since it hooks into UAC it hooks into windows hello which can be biometric.
You can do that in Linux too, that's nothing new, been around for at least 10 years or so.
