[unRAID] Change all docker containers to not autoatart while docker service is disabled

I don’t think there is a config for that but I can think of two solutions

First is to start docker and have a docker ps | xargs docker stop (on mobile so needs to be written appropriately), which could be quick enough

Alternatively the nuclear option: move or rename the docker folder ( usually /var/lib/docker), “reinstall” docker so it recreates the folders and once done you can just swap them back

Apple hit with $1B UK lawsuit over ‘abusive pricing’ in App Store

Reply in thread

But that’s the whole point: Apple spent billions of dollars to create a set of phones that are good, built a strong OS ($$$$), and advertised like crazy to get it to where it is now.

The sale of the phones is not enough to cover that, plus all the customer service (they are famous for being very good and accommodating with their support & warranty). Their plan has been to have a store to actually make the bulk of the money.

Now, years and years after they continuously spent $$$$ to get it to a good place, developers are saying “but but but I want this whole thing for free”. If they want to, go make yourself a phone, an OS, and all the rest, don’t force them to changed their business plans.

I’m a developer too, and I fully understand that 30% is a bunch, but I wouldn’t try to force them to open it up to me for basically free

But the whole reason why they’d want to run it on their devices is because Apple spent billions to get people to use the phones (and R&D, and writing an OS, and advertising, etc)

This is basically saying “I know you spent years and billions to make iOS become a very profitable place for me to publish an app successfully, but.. I don’t wanna paaaayyyy! Apple is the big meany and they should do it for me because reasons

Gotta love the “excessive” fees according to those developers that spend just $100/year to have free:

  • IDE and tooling
  • content distribution with extreme reliability
  • free services like push notifications servers etc
  • free advertising/presence in a store that has users because Apple spends millions on advertising to get people on it
  • all the billing process taken care of, with refunds, subscriptions etc, accepting any currency from all the international stores

All of that but apparently asking 30% cut is “too much”. It’s not like Apple pulled a fast one on them: they knew that’s the fee to be on it, they still decided to go on it but then complain?!

Entitlement…
