Well, the Union of South Africa were participants in the war against Germany, so that's still a bit weird. Don't know about the affiliation of the magazine in question, but the support for joining the allies wasn't clear cut, but only a narrow majority among the ruling white class.

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.

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.

Hienoa ettei antanut vihapostin lannistaa itseään!

Tuli kuitenkin vääjäämättä mieleen että tekisikö Yleisradio samanlaista juttua 60-vuotiaasta äijästä, joka fanittaisi vaikka JPop-idoleita. Itsestäni tuntuu että ei, vaan silloin meidän yhteiskunnan "virallinen mielipide" olisi vihaajien puolella.

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.

Now they want to remove all protections against firing people. People should be fireable without giving any reason.

Why do people do this? Go to the internet and spread lies, that is.

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.

Email standard sucks anyway. By the official standard, [email protected] and [email protected] should be treated as separate users...
