org-mode is awesome for many reasons, but the similarities/overlap with markdown are an incidental benefit. I wouldn't learn org-mode for that reason, however there are many other good ones that make it worthwhile. I've been using it for years for my own project management, tasks tracking, notes and many other things - it's one of those rare tools that can do many things incredibly well.

I hope they listen to him and/or he starts directing how they should do things from the ground-up.

I hate Windows and would love to see ruined too.

I've administered BSD servers professionally and I have to say that it was one of the nicest, most consistent, operating systems I've worked with. I've worked with Linux since the mid-90s and done more than my fair share of Windows Server/AD admin. and I would gladly manage a room full of BSD hosts again.

Who pays first? The user, the content creator, or the content host?

I couldn't care less. If my adblocker is that final straw that caused a company to go out of business, brings on the collapse of the internet as a whole, and ultimately the breakdown of western civilization, then all of it deserves to die. With that knowledge, I'd still update by block lists and donate to adblocking projects.

Serving 4k video is not free

I couldn't care less. I will block every advertisement in every form that is within my ability to block. If that causes the failure of Youtube, Google and the fall of western civilization in the process, so be it.

The frustrating thing is that there's no clear way to know exactly how much you're exposing yourself with this. Even the article (and related links) don't spell it out adequately (IMO).

For example, I just purchased a new(ish) 2022 Nissan. I don't have the Nissan app on my phone and I don't subscribe to any of their connectivity services. Is my data staying in the car or is it finding some conduit back to Nissan? Is connecting my phone to the console for music and maps opening me up to Nissan's data collection? Is using bluetooth for music and hand-free calls exposing my data? Is there any way to know the specific avenues for data collection that present a risk and how can they be mitigated?

Tabs suck. Use a real editor and spaces work fine.

As a long time working the ops side of things as a Unix/Linux admin, I love docker with k8s. The devs. can have whatever kind of ignorant environment setup they want. As long as the final image passes security, is up to date, and I can define the deployment parameters, it's 100% on them how well it works in production.
