Follow-up Comment #, bug #(project ):
Hi,
I have part of a story to share, and I apologise that I am very confused and
scared when I share it.
I went through an experience of severe abuse where my devices were
maliciously
controlled to limit my freedom. When I see a "permission denied" error that
has no apparent cause, this is very terrifying to me, and I experience
flashbacks, and I do not know if I will be harmed if I continue to pursue my
task.
I would request that, even if EACCES is the correct error code, that the
cases
of it where it is not actually a permission error, be given a different
error
message that helps the user discover what is really going on. Even giving
the
full path of failing execution would help so much here.
I would also request that some reference to my story be in the commit
message,
so people understand that respects people and does not support sustaining
delusions of power nor helplessness.
I expect my expression may be met with defensiveness or concerns. I am just
taking the time to try to talk, when it is very very hard for me to do so.
If
I have upset you, I apologise.
If my expression belongs at a dependent project such as , it would be
kind if somebody could copy-paste it to them, because it is very very hard
for
me to reference this.
Thank you for reading.
