hard disagree about the permissions. If I want to run closed source programs like games, discord, zoom or whatever, I like knowing they can’t log all my keys, take screenshots or even run their own version of windows recall without my explicit permission

jq '.path.to.key.to.change |= 11' file.json > file.json.tmp && mv file.json.tmp file.json
