I don't understand. We are talking about Docker Desktop for Mac, right? The piece of free-of-charge software that makes it a bit more convenient to use docker (which let's be clear is a Linux tool) from a Mac?
If you don't like the way that convenience is provided to you, then yes, you don't need to use it, and that is not tantamount to telling you to give up and go move to Canada.
The developers have chosen to implement autoupdating.
That meant that in December they pushed a version which had a bug in it, and users received the bugged version. Then they pushed a version with a fix, and users received the version with the fix.
That doesn't seem worth throwing a tantrum over.
- pdimitar 6y agoDid you read the thread? - Docker for Mac has no alternative. - Docker for Mac periodically ships bugs that make the program (and Docker itself) unusable. - Devs cannot downgrade -- so their workday can be productive and not wasted on fighting with the tool. You seem to be implying that people are entitled. I suppose technically this can be true but Docker for Mac is viewed as a critical infrastructure and thus people should have venues to make it workable even if the latest version is bugged. They ask for choice and are against force automatic updating to the latest version. > That doesn't seem worth throwing a tantrum over. Such emotional reactions cast a doubt on whether you are arguing in good faith.
