Philippines is a shithole that willingly elected the fascist Duterte as their president, they deserve no support.

It’s interesting that people are saying that this is so faithful, considering that they totally messed up the history of the California region. >!The series basically took place in NCR, but they just lazily disregarded the whole rebuilt NCR civilization and turned it into the east coast Bethesda wasteland. So what, did the NCR collapse back into wasteland in a decade or so too? Give me a break.!<
Meh, where I live police are paid a little bit over the median wage, and they have to get a bachelor’s degree (~3 years) in law enforcement before they can work as a police.
It was utter horse crap when it released. The military green Steam was among the worst pieces of software ever conceived. So they worked a lot to make it as good as it is today.
I think it’s ironic this is posted here on Lemmy, which is what it is today mainly thanks to users of another service freaking out over how they will manage without their API access to bullshit aggregated content mixed with astroturfing.
I know of one use case that seems viable, there is a digital housing market service in my country (called Dias). It uses blockchain to verify transactions related to selling and buying houses. That includes proof of sales, ownership, bank transaction status etc. The blockchain is operated by all the major banks. Their incentive is that it increases the security of the transactions thanks to the immutable digital trail, and also the fact that no single entity owns the “database” so no entity can alter it, or skim service fees etc from the others.
Why this hasn’t been done is pretty baffling to me.
Because the blockchain needs an incentive. Who is going to be taking part in the blockchain if there is nothing in it for them? That’s why these tokens are often tied to crypto currencies, as mining is the incentive.
People are smart enough to understand the difference between someone copying for personal use and a billion dollar corporation copying to generate millions while laying off all the creative people. The latter is what these non-open-source AI companies are enabling - for profit too.
But you don’t believe in anything? Not all beliefs are supernatural. There is no objective fact of what is morally right or wrong for example, there is no science behind those concepts, yet you probably still have some beliefs on what you perceive is morally right and what isn’t. Or if you do not, you are a sociopath.
The first point is a non issue. If we just stop for a second and think about it, the calorie output of the animals has to be less than the calorie input. Otherwise they would generate energy out of thin air. The bigger thing is that they are also homeothermic animals, which means that majority of the input calories are used to regulate body heat and not to generate output calories (aka meat). From calorie persective, going through homeothermic animals is pure waste of energy.
As bad as Trump is, he isn’t championing and encouraging extrajudicial killings (at least not yet) like Duterte. That is however something your average Filipino voters were drawn to and supported with thunderous applause.
