Replying to @munin
I don't think it's as complicated as people claim. People understand how to evaluate if they would let you use their laptop in person if you asked. They don't understand that running an exe you wrote is exactly equivalent. IMO, when you explain it like this people get it.

It's even worse than letting you use their laptop because the executable might have malicious content you don't know is there.

More like letting you use their laptop in a body-snatcher-infested dystopia where they can't know if you are really you.

You want people to be able to run untrusted executables safely and think antivirus allows that. It doesn't. Believe it or not, you're not the first person to notice users will "click stuff", I don't need this pointed out

You're replying to a thread where this has already been discussed ad nauseum. I know how malware and antivirus works, most likely better than you
