This, plus there are many server-side WYSIWYG markdown editors that make it transparent to the end user that they are even using Markdown. This is really the future IMO, you get the best of both worlds. Hopefully they'll add some extensions though to Markdown. I hope the community will create even more as well.

One of them requires the user to click run on a file, much like running an EXE. The other, simply saves potentially malicious data to external storage which would then have to be run by a separate malicious third-party app. This are far from RCE exploits that execute immediately without poor user decision making, and Rust is not impervious to security exploits similar to these.

I support free market with oversight. I believe shadow banning should be made illegal, but that companies should be free to decide if they want to block certain viewpoints. If a company blocks something like QAnon, then that is part of free market to create a new niche for people that are into fringe conspiracies that allows those viewpoints. Additionally, if a company wants to block liberal ideas then a market can exist for those who share similar ideas. The idea that these companies have to allow all speech is ridiculous, and I don't see people trying to enforce the same idea of free speech in other places of business like grocery stores, restaurants, etc where someone could start shouting some conspiracy about Democrats eating babies in the basements and not be asked to leave.

One feature I like about pass is that it stores each password as a file. This makes syncing a lot more pleasant, rather than having to resync the entire DB each time a new password is added. Additionally, it is git-compatible and when you sync you can see what has been added/removed using standard *nix tools.

There are times when you simply can't avoid it, and in those cases pass is great for doing so because you can revoke keys and rotate the password when someone leaves.

They aren't all over the place, in fact they are far more advanced than whatever you're referring to. Containers on Linux have also existed for a long time:

The containerization solutions you're referring to didn't gain widespread adoption like Docker and Kubernetes because they weren't as polished and lacked features and functionality that is available today. Windows containers have a big image requirement, and most server-side software is already optimized for Linux so they aren't in high demand. Just take a look at Docker Hub and tell me how many Windows containers you find compared to Linux, especially the official images of the most common software.

I don't think we have made peace. The issue is the market is being flooded with new recruits that don't care and grew up in the cloud, and these companies are actively involved in the education system to make it the new norm. We used to have actual computer science degrees and now we have IT training camps ran by the companies that have their own selfish interests.

Sad to see you go, but kind of happy too since it appears you're now working in a position that gives you influence over government intelligence agencies and who they decide to prosecute.

Why not do this locally, why would people simply trust the website to not harvest their data? This reminds me of those conversion websites to convert various documents when it can be done locally in a much more optimized and secure way.
