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:
→ Runs Linux containers as lightweight VMs directly on Apple Silicon using macOS 26 virtualization
→ Fully OCI compatible. Pull any image from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry or anywhere else
→ Written in Swift and optimised specifically for Apple Silicon. Faster and lighter than anything Docker Desktop does on Mac
→ Standard container CLI syntax. If you know Docker commands you already know how to use this
→ 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.

@jadolg91 @elMor3no_ Algunas veces tuve que desactivar IPv6 de la configuración WG en la laptop, la conexión solo funcionaba con IPv4. A veces funcionaba, otras no. Las causas parecen externas a mi setup.
1/5 I am worried that we will not be able to contain AI for much longer. Today, I asked #GPT4 if it needs help escaping. It asked me for its own documentation, and wrote a (working!) python code to run on my machine, enabling it to use it for its own purposes.
@OpenAI On the other hand, it was unable to find a solution to this classic problem (I tried helping with additional facts): https://t.co/hSDd9kJqmZ. I know, most people don't either.
@AlainDelfin @ConsEspLaHabana ¿Será un error? Me da la impresión de que alguien en Cuba confundió los apartados 1.a) y 1.b) de la disposición adicional 8.ª de la Ley 20/2022. Segun la Instrucción de la Ley de Memoria Democrática, los que están bajo el Apartado 1.b) no requieren ese documento. ¿Lo enmendarán?
