The green hand? That's the hand of Apollo. The actual Greek god Apollo. TOS got weird lol.

Thanks, I hate it.

It depends on your definition of ownership. If having perpetual access to a product is enough then yes. But we aren't allowed to, say, disassemble a game and use it's assets to make something of our own. As opposed to say a spoon. Nobody can tell me how I can and can't use my spoon.

I wish I had something more to add to this. I saw this when you posted and thought surely someone more creatively minded than I would chime in. Just want to say thanks for taking the time to write this up, it makes you think about how many other one off deux ex machina type races that Star Trek likes to throw out there. The Organians, Talosians, whatever they decided Trelane is, the Douwd, the list goes on and on. It's quite fortunate for the rest of civilization that these omniscient beings seem to stick to themselves.

It seems to me that the real reason people are upset is that they don't want to accept that the devs of games they like willingly accepted the money. As if Epic forced them.

I can't think of any time in history that the public has had that ability for anything. Imagine being upset because a Ford dealership won't sell you a Toyota, or that Kohl's won't sell you some designer brand.

I think it would be easier for me to empathize with the "exclusivity" argument if it weren't for the fact that PCs as a general rule are inherently open. I don't have to buy a new computer to install a new games launcher as I would with a console exclusives war. Hell most of the time you don't even have to install the official launcher as so many of them are just web wrappers/electron apps. I've been using the Heroic Games Launcher to claim my free Epic games for nearly a year and the only "downside", if you can even call it that, is that I don't get the weekly popup's letting me know what's free/on sale. Just building a huge library of free games, some of which I already own on Steam. Somebody please show me the actual downside of more competition on a single platform.

Why does he end up looking like Nic Cage lol

Docker takes a lot of the management work out of the equation as many of the containers automatically update. Manual updates are as simple as recreating a container with a new image instead of your local one. I would like to add try running Portainer (a graphical management interface for Docker). Breaking out the various options into a GUI helped me learn the ins and outs of Docker better, plus if you end up expanding to multiple docker hosts you can manage them all from one console. I have a desktop, a laptop, and a RPi 4b all running various dockers and having a single pane for management is such a convenience.

Now tell us the pixel response time.

Even serving 7.5 million people per day that leaves 330-some million people every day who don't eat tacos. Assuming every customer ate a taco with their meal, ~2,200 out of every 100,000 people eats at least one taco each day, so ~2.2%. This doesn't account for people eating multiple tacos, however.

All they did was offer an opinion, chill.
