Oh there is definitely a way it's just that saying most of it outloud will get you disappeared.

>Creating a separate User (User folders are permission locked to their user by default, system binaries cannot be modified without admin access)

Common practice, and even encouraged by Windows itself, is having the administrator account be the only account. This misuse is a very common thread in Windows systems, and security breaches alike.

Windows has garbage defaults, but if you read through their documentation on enterprise architecture they definitely do not recommend having admin be the only account. They do in fact encourage separate accounts, multiple level of privileges with login restrictions across different types of machines, etc.

Many Linux distros are also guilty of this, disabling the root account by default and having the only user have sudo privileges, just like Windows.

Yes, however much more can be done in the user's own directory on Unix systems. Needing sudo raises some eyebrows, whereas most Windows users don't necessarily understand UAC, and almost never think twice about pressing "Yes" on the popups, which are seen more as an annoyance than something critical for safety. Some even completely disable UAC.

This hasn't been true since Vista. Kind of even before that with XP, it really showcased using multiple accounts to home users with a much more stylized user selection screen.

Neither is Neovim, Sublime Text, Visual Studio, ed, etc... So what? This is still unacceptable

I think it needs to go a bit further than that. We need names, for purposes of blacklisting but also future prosecution. Collaborators should not be tolerated.

I'm sure it's not popular, but quite a few of our colleagues and fellow HN readers do belong in cells.
