I updated macOS to *checks about screen* Sequoia last night... well… what fresh fuck is this?! Can we get a „I know what I'm doing“ switch? What should somebody without computer knowledge do with this information?! What should *I* do with it?! Why would it interest me?! #vista #becomingwindows (EDIT: they're not even grouped so that I could dismiss them all together 😩)
That it was. Vista was Microsoft finally starting to enforce practices they’d been telling developers to do for years. Things like forcing most drivers out of the kernel and forcing developers to use user folders for settings and configuration instead of the Program Files folder.
The annoying UAC prompts all the time were because of lazy developers not doing what they were supposed to be doing for years already.
If only they’d remove registry access as well so devs could only keep their settings in the local install folder. They shouldn’t have write access outside their installed folder anyway without specific permissions.
There’s no need to clutter up a system registry with individual app settings.
But even Microsoft is guilty of doing that, which infuriates me.
You ask a simple question like “How do I disable hardware acceleration in Teams” (which used to be a setting before “new and improved” Teams was published) and the top answer ends up being something like “Edit this registry value, it’s easy”
