Also for some reason this article created a 500+ comment thread on the Orange Website where boomers complain about the authors pronouns.

    yeah same. it would genuinely be quicker for me to type the program into a new cargo project with a less :bottom-speak: name to see what it does than deal with whatever fucking build system waifuctl is. i get the issues people have with sudo, but essentially none of that has to do with problems rust can solve.

    edit: just tried it, i think it literally does nothing, at least on my machine. building it myself at least. maybe there's some permissions wonkery it needs but i don't care enough to actually download this nonsense.

      The bit is that it denies you root access because you're asking as a bottom.

      Also the waifuctl thing seems to just be their VM management system. You could just build it without the VM

      It needs to have the setuid bit. Programs with setuid can execute other programs as another user.
