Makes sense to me, but I'd be much more excited to go back to not having the snap directory shoved in my face.
> This change now means that in the future if an attacker were to exploit some previously unknown vulnerability in a given system service that is running as a separate user, they would then not be able to access the data of any other user (both human or system service) on the system. If the attacker can already access arbitrary files on your box, I don't think simple unix permissions will save you

So let's just set everything to 777? /s
This is just changing the default permissions on a home directory -not a more complicated encrypted/systemd setup I thought it would be.
Way more background than I expected for such a seemingly minor change.

It's worse than that. There is an opt-out, but you have to scroll down on the full page modal, even though there's no indication that you can scroll . It's not incompetence; it's malice.
I get a scroll bar on the modal on Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Are you sure there isn't something wrong with your browser, or with a plugin you are using?
It sounds like you're saying it's sized to not show the opt out without scrolling even on desktop, which makes it seem even more like the sizing is completely intentional.

I’ve heard good things about pop os. Have you tried and liked any of the others? It was a bit unnerving to have my Firefox windows change all of a sudden due to upgrade.

All I am saying is that security is like onion layers, and unix permissions are the last layer probably. If the attacker penetrated through all the other layers, chances are that unix permissions will not save you.
