Docker Desktop Broken on Mac OS Update for over a Week

How can a broken update like this even happen? Surely Docker goes under rigorous testing before actions like this? I'm still waiting for a detailed post mortem, [0] but quite frankly this is a very basic intern mistake, but done by "senior" engineers.

In the mean time, I'm using Orbstack. [1] Much faster, lightweight and a native alternative.

Their signing key was revoked by apple. Unclear if this is by accident or in response for something. But the downstream effect is that it breaks updates.

Also odd that it's taking so long to patch. A week is a long time to be without a key part of developer tooling.

I really like Orbstack, switched to it and never looked back.
