I’ve been looking at this, we use Docker Desktop for local development on M1 Macs. Is there a reason to switch? Does it have a lower memory footprint?

Thank you, yeah I will talk to support next week. I like to ask questions like this in public so that it could potentially help someone else out in the future

Yeah they are trying to avoid public facing apis, that’s the major issue here. I don’t think it’s possible. I can get a definitive answer from AWS support.

I appreciate the advice! I’m thinking too that VPN will probably be the way to go.

Can you elaborate? What would it be polling?

Yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking too and I tried to convey that to the team. However they are still trying to move forward. The only I believe it’s possible is with public endpoints or a VPN. I appreciate the response!

Idk everything looks better to me? Font size looks about the same, I can see all the buttons. Scrolling is a lot smoother. This is on Safari iOS

Yeah absolutely! I know I dissed it, but I was happy to have it when I was stuck on windows for work.

Yeah my job recently started letting developers choose between windows and Mac now which is a step in the right direction… their excuse is that all their security software doesn’t run in Linux… Ill accept using a Mac over WSL though, that was a huge pain

A little background for context. I’m gamer and professional software developer. I’ve been dual booting windows 11 and pop os for awhile. Windows for games and pop os for everything else… Over the weekend I switched to NixOS. This came with a learning curve which I spent a day or so learning. I’ve been getting the hang of it now and I love it so much. I definitely recommend it. I managed to get steam working without much fiddling and my emulators. It’s been great! The benefits for programming are obvious. Allowing me to basically stop using docker dev containers.

I completely removed windows from my computer and I’m very happy.
