Specifically (emphasis mine):
> During that time, you will maintain access to any images in your public repositories
So, the logical conclusion, which literally everyone else on HN had, was that after that time you will lose access to images in your public repositories; access meaning "we can get to the image" in this context, because that's what people f-n care about.
Not to mention the other part, about how Docker will still have images available for pull that can't be changed, for which there is no way to "forward" user pulls elsewhere if the developer chose to not pay the fee; so in affect you're capturing their user base with old software and almost no way to know that.
"DevRel" at Docker failed this week. Just own up to it, take the hit, and don't be evasive. Evasiveness is shady and no one trusts that bullshit.

- ok_dad 4y agoNah, it's this guy sitting in here trying to tell us how we're supposed to think, that it wasn't their fault we were stupid, that's the issue I have. I don't give a flying FUCK about Docker as a company; whether they live or die matters less to me than when I'll have to pee next.
- saurik 4y agoNo, you were not "stupid", and no one is claiming that!! In fact, Docker has gone out of their way to publicly apologize for saying something that was so inherently confusing that it led people--including myself, btw, and I don't even like or use Docker--to believe something they did not mean (that public image would be deleted). If they had written an article saying "we're sorry you're so dumb" I'd get your vitriol, but they are actively apologizing for their poor communication and trying to fall on their sword for causing a misunderstanding... what more do you want?!
- trinsic2 4y agoI didn't see any apology I saw an attempt to reframe the issue because of public backlash

- trinsic2 4y agoDemanding human treatment in all circumstances constitutes a healthy outlook on life. Letting organizations get away with shady tactics should never be tolerated in any society. It may not change anything but it's still important for society to speak out against bad policies and bad decisions
