    It’s asking me for a password. OMG why doesn’t it know it’s me and do what I tell it.

      You joke but ssu is for that (since you are logged in already, why ask for a password).

      Edit: this is for single-user systems. Makes yay (AUR helper) pretty convenient.

        Oh no. This is so bad. Who in their right mind would assume that a login user remains the same user throughout the session!?

        Oh wait. Windows.

        why ask for a password.

        To give the user an extra second to realise they’re doing dumb shit, and should stop?

          Like, editing a /etc/config file or installling a package. You’re ading ssu to <tool> already, you’re aware you’re doing root tasks.

          Also, so that a random program you run as an wheel user can’t just get root access without asking.
