What's new in Python 3.14 states: The default start method changed from fork to forkserver on platforms other than macOS and Windows where it was already spawn. If the threading incompatible fork method is required, you must explicitly request it via a context from multiprocessing.get_context() (preferred) or change the default via multiprocessing.set_start_method().
