"I'm fine."

The problem is I keep repeating the same lie.

The movie clearly shows that the robots acted as if they felt pain and suffering.

I thought the ending made it pretty clear that in the end, they are cold calculating and very intelligent machines with no actual feelings or compassion, and we had been deceived the whole time. My interpretation I guess, but I feel like that makes the movie better.

You're over-reacting. It's probably only death at worst. Most likely 40 years.

Lutris can be pretty handy for many things..

I don't have too much exp with these things, but I would suggest (as an IT support person) narrowing down and isolating problems into specifics, like:

  • I need dot.net for x thing and I tried y thing and it didn't work.

You'll be able to get better answers. I'm pretty interested in the suggestions, my usual solution is 'find something open source that is not as good but works.'

There should be an app or something for this..

Her maker imprisoned and tortured all of his creations.

I don't recall entirely but I'm pretty sure it didn't know that. Also, I don't think you can 'torture' or 'imprison' computers.

She couldn’t trust the kid, he lied to her about there being no other machines

So, death is justifiable then?

It's an AI, and it was pretty clearly demonstrated at the end that it felt no remorse or compassion for the dude. It was very very good at manipulating the humans and achieving it's goal at any cost, so.. I completely disagree. Evil wins because living, feeling human beings suffered due to the actions of a sexy computer.

Hard question because I watch so much horror..

I love the passion for your can opener! I'll definitely take a look at your recommendation.

In return, here's a pepper grinder my ex-chef dad raves about that seems to be pretty tough:

Probably unconventional now, but one of those old can openers. Not the turning ones, the manual single-piece ones. Every can opener I have had dies after a year or two, but this one has been going strong for like.. 50+ years.

I... actually can't tell if you're taking the piss or if that's a real episode.

I have so many questions about the whales.

 

Obviously, I am not in this situation. Related article, wondering what is happening to this woman's house/loans/expenses/rent/car payments/etc

So before conviction, when you're being held pending court proceedings, it would be inconvenient to attend your work place during that time. So I'm wondering, what happens?

If you're found not guilty after months of court hearings, are you just fucked over completely because the bank foreclosed on your house?

 

This makes no freakin sense to me, and it's driving me bonkers. Censored for work purposes obv.

Hosts file:

1.1.1.1 site.com

$ping site.com

PING site.com (1.1.1.1)

^C

$ping http://site.com

ping: unknown host http://site.com

What?? Ping, You JUST RESOLVED site.com, why can't you resolve it now??

Why does the addition of the protocol break DNS resolution?

It's CentOS 6.10, quite old..

/etc/nsswitch has:

hosts: files dns

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

 

Might be late to the party, but I just discovered you can do this. Super simple and easy to do.

After having a read of the linked page, I backed up and just used this option:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profile-sync-daemon

Installed, created config, and enabled service:

systemctl --user enable psd.service systemctl --user enable psd-resync.service

I definitely notice an increase in speed and less SSD usage should hopefully increase lifespan.

I'm sure there would be options for alternative distros, anything using Systemd should be able to use the daemon.

 

Had someone contact me because a browser interface was 'down' and it was actually a cert issue. It surprised me that in an IT context, this person didn't have a basic understanding of SSL certs. They didn't even know how to add a cert exception.

It got me thinking, what basic ubiquitous things am I a dumbass about outside of IT?

Ive seen lots of 'fun facts' compilations, but it would be better to get a wide range of subject suggestions that I can spend 30 minutes each or less on, and become a more capable human.

Like what subjects would plumbers consider basic knowledge? Chemical interactions between cleaning products and PVC pipes?

What would an accountant or a landscaper consider to be so basic its shocking people can live their lives without knowing any of it?

For most areas of expertise, its difficult to know even what the basics are to start with.

 

Any explanation on how this happens?

Just as a matter of curiosity

I have a file with content like this:

item({
     ["attr"] = {
        ["size"] = "62091";
        ["filename"] = "qBuUP9-OTfuzibt6PQX4-g.jpg";
        ["stamp"] = "2023-12-05T19:31:37Z";
        ["xmlns"] = "urn:xmpp:http:upload:0";
        ["content-type"] = "image/jpeg";
     };
     ["key"] = "Wa4AJWFldqRZjBozponbSLRZ";
     ["with"] = "email@address";
     ["when"] = 1701804697;
     ["name"] = "request";
});

I need to know what format this is, and if there exists a tool in linux already to parse this or if I need to write one myself?

Thanks!

A recent article: https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/money/301022706/prepare-to-find-another-70-a-week-to-get-by-in-2024-asb

says: ..if households decided the worst was over and started to feel more confident about spending, it could push up inflation

But I thought it was the opposite;

More spending means more demand means more supply, which means production costs go down (due to economies of scale)… so inflation goes down?

But saving means less spending, means less demand, means less income for business, means costs go up.. so inflation would rise?

 

like, GiantHairyNipplemonsters.com..

Or maybe better, the domain for beer brewed especially for gamers.. Game Ale.

"... that was.. luthis at.. gaymail.. .com???"

"Exactly, [email protected]."

".. g a y..m a i l?"

"What?? No! GAME ALE dot com!"

Just the random shit that comes into my brain when I walk without other stimulus.. surely I'm not the only one.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, I'm using this image:

https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/wordpress-nginx

I updated the compose file to have un/pw for mariadb:

  mariadb:

    volumes:
      - '/etc/docker/mariadb-persist:/bitnami/mariadb'

      - MARIADB_USER=admin
      - MARIADB_PASSWORD=admin
      - MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_wordpress

But I get this error:

using password: NO??

Sony is Sony is about to delete Mythbusters, Naked and Afraid, and tons of other Discovery shows from PlayStation users’ libraries even if they already “purchased” them.

So, if you bought a DVD licensed by Sony, can they now legally enter your house and take your DVD?

Or can Sony have some sort of DRM that prevents the DVD from playing when Sony loses the license agreement?

I'm just trying to reconcile how digital purchases can be subject to license terms changes, while a DVD apparently can't be.
