Using Docker Desktop at work without a license. Use Rancher Desktop instead. It's essentially like what Oracle did with the Oracle JDK. To my knowledge they haven't gone after anyone but it is technically a license violation to use it for work without a license. I could not (easily) find a way to install Docker on Mac without using Docker Desktop but Rancher Desktop worked fine.
Also, podman exists as a drop in replacement for Docker for the curious. I haven't tried it myself though so this isn't a recommendation.
Podman is great and now is compatible with the docker engine. Having rootless containers by default is awesome! There's also a utility called podman-compose that I also highly recommend.
