Apple just made Docker Desktop optional on Mac.
And it is completely free.
This is apple/container. 26.5k stars no Github.
You can now run Linux containers natively on your Mac without installing Docker Desktop, without a background daemon hogging your RAM, and without paying $21 a month per developer for a commercial license.
Here is what it does:
โ Runs Linux containers as lightweight VMs directly on Apple Silicon using macOS 26 virtualization
โ Fully OCI compatible. Pull any image from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry or anywhere else
โ Written in Swift and optimised specifically for Apple Silicon. Faster and lighter than anything Docker Desktop does on Mac
โ Standard container CLI syntax. If you know Docker commands you already know how to use this
โ Push images you build to any standard container registry and run them anywhere
Docker Desktop charges $21 per developer per month for commercial use. Apple's version costs nothing and ships as open source under Apache-2.0.
Microsoft made Docker Desktop optional on Windows with WSL Containers last month.
Apple just did the same on Mac.
Docker is not going anywhere. But the era of paying for a GUI wrapper around containers on your own machine is quietly ending.

Thinking of AI as just another "industrial" shift is a category error.
This is the rebirth of discovery, art, and science at the speed of silicon.
Second Renaissance is here. ๐ฅ
Most people ignore input devices, but itโs critical to the experience!

"AI is a bubble." "AI is the future."
The truth? It doesnโt matter.
Even if the hype cools, the "dent" is already here. The way the world works has fundamentally shifted, and if youโre still relying on your 2023 advantages, youโre already falling behind. ๐งต
The Reality Check: Whether this is a Dot-com bubble or the next Industrial Revolution, the tools aren't going away.
Don't spend your energy debating if #AI is "real." Spend it figuring out what makes you irreplaceable in a world where "average" is now free.
Hot take: In the AI era, raw compute and even the latest LLM models will become commoditized - just like electricity or cloud servers today.
What remains defensible and irreplaceable is your proprietary data.
The moat isnโt the model; itโs the unique dataset that powers your business decisions, personalization, and edge.

Email in 2025
Sender: Uses #AI to turn "Hey, can we push the meeting?" into a 500-word formal masterpiece.
Receiver: Uses #AI to summarise it as "Wants to reschedule."
Communication achieved! ๐๐ท
Photos have always been about capturing real memories and experiences. So, what's the point of generating fake ones with AI that sanitize or distort reality?
Increasing travel fares, such as for buses and the tube, effectively claws back national minimum wage increases from workers. It is misguided to assume that those who work do not rely on public transport. Ultimately, these increased costs are passed on to businesses. Whether small businesses can afford to cover these additional expenses at a time when consumer purchasing power is simultaneously being reduced by the same budgetary constraints.
In the AI era, we're drowning in info overloadโtools like ChatGPT spit out answers faster than ever, but remember: Knowledge has ALWAYS been there. From ancient scrolls to libraries, Google to now AI, it's just the speed that's evolved.
The real challenge? Execution. What ideas do YOU chase? How do YOU build, innovate, and adapt? AI won't do the hard work for youโit amplifies winners who hustle.
Your move. ๐กโก #AI
Some will spend 10,000 words justifying a mistake, they could fix in one sentence:โจโI was wrong. I own it. Hereโs how Iโm making it right.โ

The true measure of a technology's success isn't how hard the market has to push it, but how eagerly the users pull it into their lives. ๐ก
A product people truly WANT solves a real problem. A product people are PUSHED to use often just serves a business model.
