shell isn't cross-platform
basically every operating system has a posix shell by default except windows, but it has been ported there multiple times, samba existed for decades and WSL is on the rise. It may sound a little more irritating but they deserve it for still running windows :p /hj (besides you can just host an ssh server)
But hasn't collaboration and stuff been a thing for as long as time-sharing machines have? Besides, Service as a Software Substitute is NEVER a good idea, I don't want to go to someone else's server to do something I could on my own, especially when I have to pay taxes for it... By the way, can you define "CLI surgery" for me? I used Unix for a while but haven't played with containers beside chroot jails, and I suspect all that is just your company overcomplicating simple things.
Wouldn't I still pay Russia if I move to a different registrar? That makes no sense...
