Many of us pay for developer tools so it's not a question of wanting to monetise their product. It's the way they've done it. Constantly harassing people to update their desktop versions as a means to drive them to pay is unacceptable.
I have never seen such user-hostile behaviour from an established company like this and I for one will never ever give them a cent to reward them for it.
- sammorrowdrums 5y agoThey also have an “upgrade” button in docker desktop that means purchase, rather than a version upgrade. I understand that they aren’t the first to call buying a licence an upgrade (although I’m not sure you get much software wise for doing so to warrant the term), but when you closed the update nag screen and then open it, it sort of looks like the button is for that. Chrome for example has update button in similar placement.
