Wait, why does the song not start playing when I double-click it?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You have to run the song as an administrator.

Then they discovered it was much easier to do that in people's phones and that they got way more information from it they could sell.

Nah in the 90s you were always running as administrator unless on a school computer or using Linux or something...

[–] fennesz12@feddit.dk 4 points 1 day ago

I installed Linux back then too. First thing I did was delete my user, home folder, and just rawdog the whole thing as root.

I may have slightly misunderstood the operating system. Later that week I saw that a new Linux kernel had come out, and did a uname -r and decided that the best thing I could do was manually compile the damn thing for my computer so I could "get the update".

I am pretty sure I managed to even boot all the way to the terminal, but being unable to run startx. Good times.

go into powershell and type sudo [song name]. sudo is the music player

Does sudo run things as administrator now on Windows?

[–] aloofPenguin@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yes. They added it a few months ago i believe.
