No... I mean the current user from the application's perspective. Which on some ancient system (*cough* Windows XP *cough*) means every god-damn file. But on Vanilla LÖVE, even on Unix, even when not running it as root, it still has every oppertunity to mess up your home dir, which it hasn't in SELÖVE.

Just for clarification, this should not be included in a game. It should only be used if you are testing something and can't be bothered to get the console open and print things to it and all that, or want to quickly save some text.

and if you run "sudo love", then yeah it can modify /some/locked/file.
