    Hey, friend. Definitely not saying Windows is better.

    That being said, in this example, a UI open dialog that will blindly consume any file fed into it with behavior bad enough to crush the entire computer into absolute uselessness is… let’s just say, not something one would want to run into on a bad day just trying to deal with life stuff.

    Now, if one were piping /dev/urandom into the framebuffer expecting to load Firefox, that’s another matter.
