is an administrator someone who administers something?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

I've heard that on Microsoft OS the root user is named Administrator (and on some BSD OS root is called Charlie!), so yes.

Oh, of course! I think I was trying to overthink it.

No worries. When I saw the image on Mastodon I thought I did not get it but still looks funny.

  • "RunAs" is apparently the Windows equivalence of sudo in Linux.
  • Administrator in Windows == root in Linux.
  • Furries are popular among some users on the Fediverse, for reasons.

administrator in windows != root, it's more like user account in sudoers file (but without password auth) processes don't start out with admin rights under administrator accounts on windows, they still need to request the user to elevate (unless uac is off)
