It absolutely makes sense. For us who want to game but also need a computer to do day to day work and meetings. I'm not buying two computers, so what I buy for work is what I have to game with.

As an adult, I pay for winrar purely because it helped me so much for free as a kid (especially pirating other software).

Yeah I'm European end my job in accounting makes me have to work with American banks regularly. So let's just say my expectations on American banks are quite low.

Their policy should just be to reset the password immediately and have the user set a new one. This is one hell of a risk.

Really fucking blessed memory. He was one of the real ones. I'll never forget what Aaron did.

I'm just happy to be here. I care less and less about reddit. Using lemmy and mastodon for a while, it's gotten more and more important to me to just build a great, fun, healthy community and less important (emotionally) to bring down the giants. I still care about it politically and theoretically, I just don't feel it as much.

I think some local context is worth it (I'm Swedish). This is a result of the fairly new parliamentary coalition in Sweden between the right wing conservatives and the fascist party. The position of the fascists range from that climate change is a hoax to climate policy doesn't work. The conservatives have generally just used nuclear power as a copout so they won't have to acknowledge that they lack any climate policy. They also have several open climate change deniers in parliament.

Since they took power, they've been shutting down project after project, budget after budget relating to climate policy (edit: especially when to comes to solar and wind power, and deforestation), especially after completely shutting down the department for environmental policy. So my guess is that this is mostly a way to cancel the old plan to make Sweden fossil free.
