Trying to fix some Rust docker builds that are being killed by QEMU on Apple Silicon right now. I always believed Docker was cross platform, I had no idea how much of a pain it can be to use with buildx and --platform to get stuff working. SIGSEGV errors at random points, non-deterministic errors, GAH!

That you (and many others apparently) had the impression that docker was cross platform says a lot about docker's markering, considering docker as far as I know it is a wrapper for a series of extremely linux-kernel-specific APIs. :-/

Yep! Amusing to think I used to think cross-platform just meant running on Windows and Linux and that was fixed with Docker. Had no idea the rabbit hole was deeper until Mac released the new CPUs.
