Docker is a container platform. Docker Engine is the container host for Linux and Docker Desktop uses a virtual machine to run Docker Engine and containers in that VM.
For example, if you use Docker Desktop on Windows, Docker Desktop will run Docker Engine in a WSL2-based VM and then run containers inside that.
I like the increase in competition, but my concern is for the 90+% of users who really don’t know what they’re doing. Can we be sure that all these alternative app stores will properly enforce security through their apps? At least the iOS app store and Google Play have some standards regarding apps that are actual malware, but could we trust every company to do this?
The “anti-consumer” approach of restricting apps that violate standards may very well be the best one for most people. I support the DMA and the right to sideload but I’m concerned about the impact it will have. Maybe we’ll go back to the early 2000s days of PC malware.
I’m glad to have moved from a country where taxes and (high) expected tips are on top of the price, to a country where tax is included in the price and tips are usually not expected. It makes a surprising difference in affordability when you can actually buy a €5 item with €5.
As soon as companies started asking for tips at self check-out, it became obvious that it’s just a way of trying to underpay their staff and shift that responsibility on the customer.
