Adobe to deliver AIR for Linux (eWeek)Adobe to deliver AIR for Linux (eWeek)Posted Mar 10, 2008 14:14 UTC (Mon) by Max.Hyre (subscriber, #1054)In reply to: Adobe to deliver AIR for Linux (eWeek) by obi Parent article: Adobe to deliver AIR for Linux (eWeek)
(like local file access etc)Does this mean file writes? So I'm supposed to let some proprietary software write to my disk? I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong, please) that, with Javascript disabled, the only writing to be done is with cookies (completely controllable) and file downloads (which cannot execute unless I permit them to). Thus, with Free Software, the only one with write access to my disk is me. And I want to keep it that way.

This isn't about some website writing to your disk. This is about an app running on a runtime writing to disk - same as if you install a piece of proprietary software on Linux. A bit like Azureus (open source) on the java (proprietary) runtime.
