lemmyvore, 8 months ago I still don’t understand why Windows doesn’t use .exe whitelisting instead of bothering with endless blacklists and heuristics and antiviruses. On any given system there’s a handful of legit .exe while out there there’s like a billion malware .exe, and more created every minute. Or at least switch to an explicit “executable” flag like on MacOS and Linux.
