@zcichy @vectorpoem Properly written OSes are the alternative. We're stuck with gatekeeping because MS/Apple can't f'ing figure out ring -1.

@cmuratori@vectorpoem And what is a properly written OS, free of potential security issues?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@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 never warns you. It just runs sandboxed. The user can then request unsandboxing at their leisure.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori@vectorpoem This is all very philosophical and all, but are more devs making more money on the Mac today or less?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori@vectorpoem And I would argue strongly that the opposite is the case. But I doubt we’ll find common ground.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@zcichy @vectorpoem I'm not arguing either way. I am simply pointing out that sandboxing is actually more secure than gatekeeping.
