Back in 1967 Sweden had "Du-reformen", a change to our language and popularize the second-person singular pronoun, "du", as a universal form of addressing others in the Swedish language.

There is a wikipedia article anout it, and it is a bit interesting:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du-reformen

Then we also have the law of "jante" which is deeply rooted in Swedish and Scandinavian culture:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante

The informal laws sound harsh, but boils down to, "you are not better than us", and it applies to everyone.

Jante should be taken with a pinch of salt, the main point of jante is to not act like you are better than anyone else.

In Sweden/Stockholm:

Avoid Akalla/Hjulsta/Kista

They are all boring and sees a lot of gang crime.

Swede here, in general thw Swedes are very law abiding, there are plenty of laws and regulations that carries no punnishment, but they are still followed.

When I need to speak with say the tax authority, I call the general customer service number, and adopt a persona of positivity and friendlyness, I speak to them as a coworker that I need help from, this is simply because we are both trying to solve the issue.

When talking to my manager at work or even the CEO, we talk like coworkers, we joke, talk about the weekend and lunch recommendations. I know they are my managers, they know that I know that as well, there is no need to keep enforcing it in our day to day tasks.

Talking to Police is done politely and relaxed, I have never been mistreated, though I am white and clearly Swedish who lives a quiet life.

That's a fair point I didn't think about when I made my comment.

Now that you mention it, switching to international scale in politics/activism sounds fantastic, but if often used as a way to divert responsibillity to a party with no authority.

So yeah, a national program is better

Lower the cost to ten usd and ditch Youtube music, that would be ok for me

Ok, how is Android relevant when the article only talks about the iOS app?

Biologically: grow up, have sex, take care of and teach the next generation.

General: Nothing, there is no underlying meaning to life.

Aspirational: Improvement, the meaning of life is to improve the world during your life.

Capitalistic: Aqquire wealth, get the high score!

Hey, this thread is about what should be an actual thing, not what is realistic or even feasable to do.

You mention that a nationwide fund for removal of lead in the environment should be a thing, I just countered that there should be an international fund dor the removal of lead since it is an international problem.

Both funds should be a thing.

I get what you mean but that is not feasable, however, if we look back at the old multiplayer experience like in Unreal Tournament 2004, the company runs a master server, and the community runs the game servers.

The master server just lists the game servers and allows for a server browser. That is WAY less resource intensive and can be run almost indeffinately.

The master server for UT2004 ran continously for almost 20 years, and when Epic announce it was shutting down, a fan server was created and after a quick edit of the config file you can play UT2004 multiplayer exactly like it was in the past.

So let's go back to that model of multiplayer, it requires a bit of skill to set up your own server securely, but you'll have way more choice and less commitment of resources from the publisher making it available for longer at less cost.

Open source is too far, but as part of a shutdown of a game and it's servers there should be a year long period where the publisher is required to release the game without DRM, including the server software, to all customers.

I could see it going through Steam, you get a message "Delistment notification: The Crew is being delisted, get your permanent copy now!"

It happens, I hoped it would be clear enough when I brought up middle management, but I guess I missread the situation.

Wow, here I am making a joke, and are just calling for me to lighten up?

Calm down.
