Without absolving us all of our responsibility to do better, to create systems that minimize the potential damage by bad actors, "I want to be able to download and execute random code off the internet and have it access my file system, my cameras, my network, my everything, but only in ways that don't hurt me", has always been kind of a pipe dream.

It's also kind of hilarious when the person downloading and executing random code off the internet isn't the naive user, the pointy haired boss, the stereotypical grandmother, the dumb tween, but the "sophisticated", computer-savvy, net-wise programmers.
