@agowa338 @pandoc if this is a risk you’re concerned about, then self-host this open-source system so that you have control of when code changes are applied, and spend the effort to audit each patch before upgrading

Or continue to run pandoc locally

@socketwench Though I will say I find the inverse true as well: I got a Linux machine for my mother in law, because the way she uses a computer is 95% as a web browser launcher, and 5% for one particular crafting app which is Java.

She had no issues adapting, she even installed it herself, and only needed a little help running a Java app that wasn’t packaged with a .desktop file.

@socketwench wise advice. And I think the more someone uses their computer for deep work, the more it’s a tool embedded into doing something that’s important to them, then the wiser it is.

The more you actually *use* your computer to do things, the more “muscle memory” and little workflow tweaks and such you develop. And that makes switching cost higher.
