no, its a cve if the app can just do it automatically, it is NOT a cve that user goes through 5 steps that they very explicitly do, including unlocking hidden menus to open up developer options, and then allow it.

seriously, get real, please explain how your train of thought works here

nobody suggests they should be, the ONLY difference is that the routers will block inbound connections by default, and you open your port in the firewall section instead of the shitty router instead of the nat/port forwarding

how is it a different mental model? instead of opening the port in NAT via forward feature, you open the port in the firewall. it is in fact significantly simpler while overall being the same actions you take when you want to "forward"

you fling around words like "network maintainers" quite casually, dont you? :)

its really extremely simple, just dont NAT, is that really so hard? just because you dont NAT, doesnt mean you have to let the traffic pass through, that is also an extremely simple concept, no?

thats very very obviously not how it works or was intended. then they could just come up with "rules" that are not laws, and then rules say cannot have arms.

all these insane and VERY OBVIOUS attempts to bypass the constitution should result in official doing it be put in jail FOREVER

very very stupid yes, and there are some other high profile softwares encouraging this brainrot, but, still not most.

anyone doing this should really take a very very big look in the mirror

the method you describe is clearly only done by people that are irresponsible and most probably stupid.

and no, this is not how most software is installed

but all he does is things the politicians thinks are perfectly okay to do to the "plebs" they are supposed to represent.

when they do it, its A-OKAY, but if he does even 1/10, its the worst catastrophy in the world.

there might exist some programs that do it, but this might be why they changed default from alt to win key.

in either case, that appears to be the very extreme minority of cases you have to move a window
