Well, GitHub is certainly in control of their own platform and a problem entirely done by themselves. For example, not making pre-release Xcode versions available on their images, or by default selecting 1-year-old versions of macOS (and as a result throwing everyone into a side quest just to get started)... and ultimately charging 3x the regular pricing for this is absurd.

- isodev 3y agoSurely if Microsoft (this big corp, that happens to own a cloud) wanted to find a way for GitHub to offer a pleasant experience, they would have.
- smoldesu 3y agoArguably, they've done the best they can do without partnering with Apple directly. Are you suggesting that they should invest in hacking MacOS to improve the customer experience?
- andygeorge 3y ago> happens to own a cloud macOS hardware or virtualization is beaucoup bucks in every cloud. As I said, this is not just a GitHub (or Microsoft) problem.
- 0x1ceb00da 3y agoI didn't know you could virtualize macos.
- agsnu 3y agoThe license restricts you to only virtualize macOS on Mac hardware, and only 2 VMs per physical machine.
