 @e7b4518c it’s not really a trauma and it’s easy to control….any app asking for data from my contacts is immediately denied. There’s absolutely need to see my contact info!

 @1056510e @e7b4518c As a general principle, I grow leery whenever some kind of product or service wants to run executable code on one of my devices for no good reason at all. That permissions can be handled is neither here nor there – local executable privileges is already quite a big step in terms of exposure.

 @1f8d831d @1056510e hence when it was announced Win 11 allowed andriod apps to be run by the OS, i turned to the dark side and bought a macbook 

when i looked at the early release stuff it didn't even seem to be sandboxed, just running in a local hyper-v instance with access to network and os :(

(lesser of 2 evils for me, not quite are the stage of becoming a full linux nerd :) )
