No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Edit2: probably solved. I didn't understand that Brown is talking about Neo and Trinity's attack.

Agent Smith is questioning Morpheus, trying to extract the codes to the Zion mainframe. Neo and Trinity have attacked the building in which Morpheus is being held, trying to save him.

(Office)
Agent Jones: What were you doing?
Agent Brown: He doesn’t know.
Agent Smith: Know what?

It feels too poignant to have a machine say this without there being something else to it.

Edit: what I mean is, a machine wouldn't "retort" or be passive aggressive like this.

They're not just machines or programs, tho. They are the typical sci-fi AI with full on human-like cognition. Unlike real world "AI," the AI in The Matrix is actually capable of thoughts and feelings, so thinking in that direction isn't necessarily off-base or too wild.

But I am pretty sure what they were referring to when they said "he doesn't know" was the assault on the building taking place. Not that he was saying Smith doesn't know what Smith was doing. He took his ear piece out when he asked to be alone with Morpheous and since he is bound by the rules of the Matrix, that meant he didn't hear the radio chatter likely that would have alerted him to Neo and Trinity blowing shit up downstairs.
