2 years ago@tubaruco It’s from these installation instructions, which say “it might error, but that’s fine”. Usually error messages mean it’s not fine, so I found it fairly amusing.

It would be great if we had a fine-grained access control mechanism where the user could specify that AccA may write to anything in
/sys/class/power\_supply
and AdAway may write to/etc/hosts
, but neither can access any *other* system files. Apps that use root almost always need a fairly narrow set of elevated privileges.Android already has everything it needs to support that under the hood with SELinux. A UI for it would allow users full control of their devices with a reduced attack surface area.
