Using the google algorithm, which by design includes related results, is probably the worst way to “prove” anything.

IIRC MySql inherits that behaviour when running on windows (or at least older versions do)

That was a real fun time when switching OS

Pretty much, yeah

I assume the equivalent would just be ‘takeown /r <folder>’

As far as I can tell it always uses the currently logged in user as target though

It’s quite common to login as admin on windows though (in home setups), you’ll still have to authenticate for administrative tasks (the UAC popups).

The issue here is mostly that the user has probably upgraded and windows changed their account, resulting in the files being owned by their old account.

In linux, that’s fixable with ‘sudo chmod -R’

In Windows, there’s no built-in way, you need the take ownership script.

it’s still comically bad compared to various alternatives, even apples-to-apples alternatives like C#.

I’d be interested to hear why. IMO Java has the superior ecosystem, runtime(s!), and community. The best part is that you don’t even HAVE to use java to access all this - you can just use kotlin, groovy, scala,… instead.

In terms of the language itself, while it (still) lacks some more modern language features, it has improved massively in that area as well, and they’re improving at a significant rate still. It also suffers from similar issues as PHP, where it has some old APIs that they don’t want to get rid of (yet?), but overall it’s a solid language.

And the people hating on it somehow never used any version above 8, which is 10 years old and EOL.
