I’ll disagree with the crowd for novelty and not trash the decision. I think this is a great experiment; very curious to see how @Docker does with it.

Seeing some confusion on Twitter. Most of it from employees of VC backed startups going "what the f*ck is revenue?!"

No argument here! I have a hard time imagining a Docker Shakedown(tm). The concern that I do have is large enterprise risk/compliance groups will not make that distinction. "If it's in the contract, we will act as if our lives are on the line." https://t.co/tB9hYcNFdw

@QuinnyPig We trust our users @QuinnyPig and thus expect a polite reminder will suffice.

I think the biggest error that @docker made here is putting a $21 monthly price per user on the webpage. Spoiler: no large company pays retail rates for these things; contracts are negotiated, pricing is bespoke.

If a company screws it up, is it going to be a polite letter from Docker, or is the Oracle Upsell Model in full effect?

The biggest problem I see of all of this is the uncertainty. Who owes what and when? Does a casual user who just uses it to spin up a syslog container, or a rando GitHub app for testing need to pony up? How does that get tracked by Procurement?

The devil is of course in the details, but what I take from this is "we want to get checks from large companies, not individual developers." How well that's going to play out is something of an open question.

One of the biggest barriers here is the recordkeeping and audit requirements. Not gonna lie: this is why I stopped being a Windows admin and learned this Linux thing ~20 years ago. https://t.co/B4kpazgHyP

Docker Desktop remains free for personal use. The trouble is with BYOD being a thing and engineers making poor choices about work / life technology separation, that's not always a clear line.

I can't recall seeing a pricing structure like this before. What strikes me the most is that @Docker is choosing to spend its innovation energies on pricing models. That feels fraught just as an abstract concept.

The concern I have is that every company aspires to be at least $10 million in revenue, and getting smacked with a significant investment decision in a couple of years has the capacity to act as a deterrent. (I spend a lot of time observing the psychology of corporate money.)

Some large companies may well veto all use of Docker Desktop once these changes take effect on Jan 31, 2022. Let's face it; Amazon will spend $20 million to avoid being beholden to someone else for $5, and they're not alone in that.

Super curious how this is going to be received. 250 employees and $10 million revenue are very different things. And not all employees have access to revenue figures.

They've got some tiering changes as well. That last "Business" tier 3xing the previous tier feels a smidgen steep, but okay. https://t.co/Tonck8UvWe

So @docker has a new monetization strategy that's definitely innovative. "Docker Desktop requires you pay them if you're at a large company," which they define as over $10 million in revenue or 250 employees. https://t.co/FIV7W0bZw5

I don’t have my Cherry Silent Reds installed anywhere currently but the U4 switches are quieter than I remember those being too

New Boba U4 Silent Tactile switches. These are much quieter than the Kailh Box Blacks I got hoping they’d be quiet enough for phone calls, I hope these work better https://t.co/BAosUfaukU

Are you using a desktop email client (e.g. Apple/MS Mail, Thunderbird, Mailbird, Emacs)? If you're using one, feel free to mention it.

RT @mhoye: @mrled If you've got this kit, my setup just got a _lot_ cheaper and easier to build - get one of these: https://t.co/eqlGwrTYDH…

@mhoye Oooh thanks, I’m gonna get that and try it out

🤔 What is an app that you wish somebody, anybody, would make? Maybe it doesn’t exist, or maybe nobody has quite nailed it the way you want it. Or maybe you’d like a particular developer to take on the challenge, based on their history — suggestions in the replies

@mrled If you've got this kit, my setup just got a _lot_ cheaper and easier to build - get one of these: https://t.co/eqlGwrTYDH to bolt to the underside of your desk and two of these for arms: https://t.co/LVsgZDAJCb and you're there.

Oh man this looks awesome. I don’t have a moonlander but this makes me want one. I’ve been eyeing @mhoye’s solution to mount my ErgoDox-EZ to my desk but sourcing the parts is kind of a PITA. https://t.co/becFnVsgcg https://t.co/IRVUr0q8a2

Just released the new Tripod Kit for the Moonlander! https://t.co/RwW0BZdxHI - the first of several mounting options we've got planned out.

Fractal Syndrome is defined as a new entity by the WHO in 2007. First symptoms appear in growth areas such as the skin, nails and intestinal lining. It slowly spreads to the iris, teeth and eventually limbs. Transmission occurs through unknown mechanisms. No treatment exists. https://t.co/X9jiCTknVo https://t.co/F5S4yG7U5a

Goddammit I wish I could just use list comprehensions and normal Python code to change object properties in Ansible. Setting properties several layers deep, filtering lists, etc - so cumbersome. Jinja filters aren’t a good fit for these problems.

I should probably just take my own advice and write a one-off filter plug-in for each of these operations. Maintenance costs either way - either ugly verbose YAML or a one-off filter plugin that is probably impossible to give a coherent name too.

Just let me embed Python for fucks sake 😭

@natural_hazard First thing that comes to my mind is this scene from Contact, though the subject is somewhat unfortunate out of the movie context https://t.co/F2HukxOoXE

Help needed! I'm collecting examples of video clips that begin with pure visual confusion (you can't even parse what you're looking at), and then eventually everything "snaps into place" and you go from confused disjoint visual sensations to seeing *objects*

Speaking as someone who has litigated and lost on this exact issue in three countries (UK, Germany, France), I feel confident in saying the firm refusal to filter for new things beyond CSAM doesn’t mean much in the face of state power. https://t.co/tFVTyq05Iy

So basically: all that stands between users and governments demanding adding of non-CSAM images to the hash list is Apple's firm refusal? https://t.co/o2sflSWQnQ
