Readit NewsThe last paragraph seems to present a reasonable suggestion. But Hansson forgets that struggle occurs on a spectrum. There is no single, visible, hard line between normies and certifiables.
He should probably read a book or five about neurodiversity.
It takes a pioneer to increase revenue.
If the product genuinely worked, it would make a natural candidate to upstream into the operating system. Better to wait for the feature to arrive there. Than to risk scams and bugs meanwhile.

Not to mention vertically integrating the entire Docker layer set defeats the whole point of using Docker in the first place.
In 30 days a bunch of images we depend on may just disappear. We mostly depend on images from relatively large organizations (`alpine`, `node`, `golang`, etc), so one would want to believe that we'll be fine - they're all either in the open source program or will pay. But I can't hang my hat on that. If those images disappear, we lose the ability to release and that's not acceptable.
There's no way for us to see which organizations have paid and which haven't. Which are members of the open source program and which aren't. I can't even tell which images are likely at risk.
The best I can come up with, at the moment, is waiting for each organization to make some sort of announcement with one of "We've paid, don't worry", "We're migrating, here's where", or "We've applied to the open source program". And if organizations don't do that... I mean, 30 days isn't enough time to find alternatives and migrate.
So we're just left basically hoping that nothing blows up in 30 days.
And companies that do that to me give me a very strong incentive to never use their products and tools if I can avoid it.
Too bad about their poor relationship with the FOSS community. I've applied to them for years, and actually merged some minor patches to Docker to help resolve a go dependency fiasco. Zero offers.
I guess the next logical move is to republish any and all non-enterprise Docker images to a more flexible host like the GitHub registry.
CEO goes to submit timesheet.
Corporate issued hardware explodes in face.
IT support hotline: Remember to turn the timer off and on again.
Middle manager: I need the task done yesterday. Yes, I know it's a holiday. Yes, I know the assignment breaks two DNS specs and several hundred federal and state regulations. Just get it done. No, you're not allowed to use utensils during working lunches, that's against company policy.
