Here’s a post tailored for a technical audience (e.g., Reddit r/netsec, r/Malware, or a personal dev blog). It addresses the issue of getuidx64 requiring admin privileges.
Whenever possible, design your applications to run with standard user privileges, and only request administrative elevation when absolutely necessary to interact with protected system resources. By adhering to the principle of least privilege, you create safer, more stable, and more professional software. getuidx64 require administrator privileges better

Here's why that requirement is non-negotiable and how to handle it correctly.
