how likely is it that changing the root password to "fix" this will gently caress up something internal that relies on a root with empty password

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
isn't the issue that a root account doesn't exist until you do this, then it creates one with a blank password?

idk, you're probably right, tho that is somehow even stupider?

osx has been "rootless" since el capitan, has anyone tried this bug on an older osx?

carry on then

the funny part is that unless you do the thing in the tweet (elevate as root so the system un-disables the account), you actually can't log in as root because the account is disabled.

rootless is misnomer. what it actually means is that the root privilege level is no longer equal to kernel privilege level. that is, root (sudo, whatever) can administer the system, but they can't damage the kernel integrity anymore (by loading random drivers, scribbling memory, deleting system files).
