And containers were supposed to make things safer ... Huge design mistake if you ask me.

  Containers were never a security boundary

  i don't see how it's a design mistake, linux allows more footguns in general to not decrease utility. Allowing you to manually give root prompt access (with warnings!) to a non-root user is one of them. you can also just not run docker as root and not add normal users to the docker group

  > And containers were supposed to make things safer ... No. Containers are a slight improvement over the .tar.gz software distribution method we had a few decades ago. (And I mean "slight" literally - a Docker container is just a .tar.gz with a bundled bash script that runs in a chroot.)
