I would strongly advise anyone considering running this closed-source, proprietary software on their machine to examine the large amounts of private data it uploads to Docker Inc when it crashes before they install or run it.

I was surprised. You might be surprised, too.

I was so surprised that I decided to only ever run the open source command line docker client on my machine, and to avoid any proprietary software that comes out of Docker Inc in the future. It is absolutely not reasonable for them to upload some of the data that they do, and I no longer trust their judgement about what happens on my machine.

If they did that sort of stuff in the open source cli app, it would be patched out in minutes.

God can’t anyone do their job without slurping massive amounts of data behind shady processes. Docker folks , care to explain this?
Docker is on the verge of death. They are now relying on dark patterns to scrape in some extra profit. Just use podman and move on.
