alias sudo=runas

Wow, so exciting.

Do ssh-copy-id next please.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's already on Windows

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Oh really?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

This will be a nice improvement for me.

I bet you not even sudo could remove edge. edge is like the breathing lungs and thinking brain and balls of computer

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

There are lots of 3rd party mods like AtlasOS that can remove edge.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You used to be able to >winget uninstall Microsoft.Edge

But the problem is Edge would still come back every time Windows had an update.

I hope the EU DMA update fixes that.

It supposedly allows you to uninstall more stuff.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Let’s hope it’s not region locked, or if it is, maybe at least trivial to bypass.

"This action is forbidden. The incident has been reported."

And then MS sends goons to your house to break your legs

That's an unpalatable response - instead you're sentenced to 10 hours of Browser Reeducation classes

HTTP is stored in the balls

And, knowing Windows, won't let you do as much as a real sudo would anyway. There are so many f-ing things that even Admin is not allowed to do on a Windows box, it is simply annoying. "Oh no, you cannot remove Edge! This would threaten the stability of the universe!"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago

It is an ergonomic and familiar solution for users who want to elevate a command without having to first open a new elevated console.

Yeah Microsoft, how exactly is it familiar for Windows users? 😜

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

sudo!!

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Do you remember when Microsoft tried to patent sudo?

Pepperidge farm remembers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Sounds exactly like the common graphical implementations of sudo

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I just use Scoop’s sudo
