I'm afraid that's kinda just how it is... with the dating apps at least. If you're on a dating app, you're a disposable swipe. I had 3+ dates with this girl recently, and I was starting to think that this could be a thing, and then se fue. Silence. Not even a thanks. Anyways, that's kind of how it is apparently.

So here's my recommendation instead. Go and do shit. With other people. Don't try to date, try to open up the possibility for a date to happen. And then don't chase it, let it happen. Eg, go and learn salsa dancing. (As an introvert, it was a real hard thing for me to do (understatement), but it was so worth it.) Or join a hiking group, or Dnd, or pub quiz, or just anything that gets you into different social circles, meeting new people, where you aren't a disposable swipe, you're a team mate.

Also, don't read into other people. Sometimes people get busy with their lives, or have a crisis, a million reasons why they ghost you. It's not you, it's them. Girls don't take apps seriously either. They are expecting 99% of douchebags, and they would be 98% correct.

Final tip, get a gym buddy. That does wonders for ADHD, depression, confidence, energy, etc etc etc.

Tl;dr, apps suck, go get involved socially, work on yourself.

My money is on doing nothing at all is enough for them to royally screw up.

That was my first thought, but these are algorithmically/procedurally driven, not AI driven. Which makes them highly reliable, configurable, and consistent. Unlike AI machines which will hallucinate cup holders everywhere that are too large or too small to hold any actual cup.

Ah I see. Well it's like the old saying goes, "I'd rather pay a ton of money to get AI robots to fuck everything up really badly and then go back to paying workers a barely livable wage, than pay workers a livable wage in the first place and not waste a ton of money."

One broken system is enough..

Definitely in my top 5 fav bands ever. They are so underrated!

They've figured out how to convert AI outputs into electricity??

 

This wasn't a crime before?

As a kiwi, I'm sorry you guys only have a binary choice.

My 2 cents without really knowing much: much:

Harris- only good by comparison Won't make the major changes necessary not very funny

Trump- Orange Hilarious Has some good ideas on bringing jobs back

Is the direction of rotation in the room with us right now?

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago

A-fucking-mazing.

This will definitely result in less people being on unemployment benefits.

"I'm fine."

The problem is I keep repeating the same lie.

 

May as well participate since we are lucky enough to have a voice in this country

 

I'm not saying anyone should, just that they would have ample legal funding if they did...

Still haven't seen any prosecution for when they blocked the motorway either.

 

TL;DR

An Australian pharmacy will continue to send lower-cost diabetes equipment across the Tasman, despite a cease and desist from a medical manufacturer.

...

“This is $130 that my whānau, and many other whānau, could have in their pocket each month,” she told them.

...

manufacturer Medtronic had sent David Jones Pharmacy a letter threatening legal action if the company continued to supply Kiwi customers with the sensors.

...

The pharmacy was “not a legally authorised distributor of Medtronic diabetes products in New Zealand”

...

“We have chosen to ignore [the letter] as it was built upon unsubstantiated accusations,” Le said.

...

“It creates a massive inequity for families who don’t have the financial means to pay a weekly amount, and it’s also a contributing risk to longer term health outcomes.

“It's really expensive to keep them alive. By not funding [sensors] you are risking the lives of kids who don't have that layer of privilege.”


I fucking hate this bullshit. Hong Le is a hero.

 

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.

Right before I fall asleep, I'll remember some random details of a dream I had when I was 5-10 years old. It changes each night, but never is a newer dream.

Does that happen to anyone else?

 

But what if they hit the brown note?

 

I thought it was an access hole to get to the cables inside the seat tube, but when I unscrewed the square black plastic plate, it's just a flat bare metal surface, with a vertical slot cut in offset from the centre.

Is this for a chain guide?? Seems too high for that. I can't find anything in the user manuals on Giant Trance (this is a 2018 Trance 2).
