@zcichy@vectorpoem VMWare, Sandboxie, etc. are examples of things that prevent as large a proportion of viruses as do gatekeeping.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@cmuratori@vectorpoem Sandboxing is also gatekeeping.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@zcichy@vectorpoem No. You can trivially play games in a sandbox with no need to have an approval dialog box of any kind.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori@vectorpoem So OSX should require a sandbox to run an app, and warn you only if it isn’t sandboxed?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @zcichy
@zcichy@vectorpoem No. It should run everything sandboxed by default, and the user if free to choose to move an app out of the sandbox.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori@vectorpoem Is this not the very thing that the Mac App Store / gatekeeper balance provides?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@zcichy @vectorpoem All apps run sandboxed until the user requests that they be unsandboxed. It's actually very simple.
