Serious question: do you think it is actually obvious and technically accessable to everyday people to have the thought "I should run this in a sandbox" and do it?
Like no this is not some super elite haxxr tool, it's a text editor pretty explicitly advertised as being non-technical-person-friendly.
I meant the HN crowd ofc. I assume the non-technical obsidian user would not be present here.
You have a point though that non-technical people are screwed, but they have always been. Their whole lives and biometrics rest on Google and Apple servers anayways, while a good part of their identity is being traded by non-scrupulous commercial predators under the veil of advertising purposes. They are so beyond f*cked that I did not include their concerns wrt Obsidian plugins.
I haven't seen the term haxx0r since... ages! How are they called nowadays?
