Would you spend time out of your day to contribute to software that requires your users to sign up for someone else’s spam list?
- jpic 8y agoI think contributors are going to compile it from source, to contribute ?
- sbr464 8y agoYes, absolutely. Would you like the cure to cancer if it meant you had to give your email address? One thing has nothing to do with the other.
- sbr464 8y agoYou may not feel this way, but think of downloading docker, as a non developer. You are probably following some tutorial, and really have no idea what you are actually doing. What if a container you are downloading is dangerous, or becomes dangerous. What if the version of the platform you have eventually becomes risky, due to a hack/0day? You are basically downloading an entire OS/execution environment, that makes it seamless to run an entire environment, while doing nothing. How would the company send an email/warn you etc, of some basic info that could really help you, or make your experience better? This isn’t som H&M mailing list to take your money. This is real, marketing aside, maybe they actually care?
