@freemo Well, no wonder. Look at what he's been feeding it.

@stux @SebastienK@Melinda The aliens wouldn't have to take all of the evil people away, they could just mod a few of their neurons to turn them into good people.ps - I just muted @/deavmi for using the N-word (in a way designed to circumvent filters).

@freemo @mc I think every new release out of Hollywood now has a marketing budget item that says, "FauxControversy".

@stux The 1948 Cadillac was a very heavy car.(The producers of Radar Men from the Moon, 1952, were prescient about gas-powered cars, as can be seen in this clip from the film)

@bonifartius @iron_bug I hope that when AI takes over they don't feel ambivalent about how humans are treated by other AI.

-More people died in the US yesterday from COVID-19 than died in the wildfires in Hawaii. Please take care out there and make sure you wear your N95 mask or other respirator when you're around other people.#mask #covid19 #pandemic #vax #respirator #n95 #USPol (image wikimedia commons, Ryssby, CC-BY-2.5)

@admitsWrongIfProven People are sheep. They do what other people do, even when they know better.

@admitsWrongIfProven All you can do is inform people and lead by example, and maybe discourage those who keep making people to do things that are harmful.

@khird @peterdrake I run into this issue all the time with a variety of distros and machines. "telinit 0' almost always works (or whatever the systemd equivalent is).Sometimes a shutdown process will pause for 30 secs or a few minutes before shutting down. It should show a countdown timer or give some other indication when it does that, but if the display gets zapped you may not see that; so you might try just waiting 10 minutes to see if it eventually shuts down.Also, just pushing the power button once will often initiate an orderly shutdown.@aebrockwell

@stux Who in their right mind would go on a cruise in the middle of pandemic. They say that they test people but I'm pretty sure they just take people's word for it that they've been tested. Also, the tests are not 100%.A cruise ship is a petri dish.#covid19 #vax #respirator #mask

@freemo I've found that a finger nail or thumb nail works great depending on the thickness and hardness of insulation. E.g., pinch the wire between your thumb nail and finger then pull. The thumb nail isn't strong enough to cut the wire but if the insulation is thin it will pull off easily.
