Portugal: Grândola, Vila Morena - Zeca Afonso. Probably not a hit when it came out, as it was banned by the dictatorial regime at the time but it became the anthem of our 1974 revolution, pretty much because it was the song that the revolutionary group chose to be played on the radio station (they took control of) to mobilize their forces.

Zeca Afonso has a bunch of other well-known (and really good) songs, all sung in Portuguese but this is the one most people know by heart. It helps that it gets played every year on the anniversary of the revolution and whenever there's a protest.

As a Portuguese who was alive (albeit a kid) in the 90s, I can summarize this as we didn't have enough resources (both human and monetary) to keep enforcing the U.S. drug war model. Since it wasn't working and we were reaching a critical situation (like half of Lisbon in particular was filled with drug addicts shooting heroin up their veins), we turned to the experts.

The article implies this was a decision made from the beginning of this epidemic, but it was pretty much a last resort because the other model was unsustainable for the government. Not sure if we would've adopted it if we had US' resources.

Also, just giving context here, not trying to diminish this accomplishment.

Not necessarily a song but a whole sub-genre: Eurobeat. It started with Running in the 90s and I just went from there to listening and thoroughly enjoying pretty much the whole Initial D soundtrack.

None that I know of.

What I did was make Aurora Store my default app to open links, search for the desired app on my browser, and then long press and open with external application as explained (in more detail) on this reddit post.

Hi!

So a few days ago, a friend of mine recommended me this game (just to be clear, I'm talking about the videogame) and it seemed really interesting. He kept talking about Wrath of the Righteous but as I looked it up later, I found out about Kingmaker.

I didn't really get any conclusive answer on whether I should play through the first one and then Wrath of the Righteous or not, so I'm guessing it doesn't really matter story-wise.

Nonetheless, since I didn't see anything regarding this game here on Lemmy, and in an effort to drive up some discussion and/or add to our small but growing knowledge base, I come to you with this question.

Also, do you like the games? And which one do you recommend to start with?

Thanks!

Fighting games? Street Fighter 6, The King of Fighters XV and Guilty Gear Strive all have crossplay, are pretty recent and good fun even if you don't want to fully dedicate yourselves to it.

Originally, like someone said, it was a derogatory term for supporters of Khrushchev military intervention against a revolt in Hungary in 1956.

It is also used to pejoratively refer to a supporter of some leftist regimes, such as that of Stalin's USSR, China, and North Korea (also Pol Pot's Cambodia, probably). Are also a supporter of Putin's Russia and its invasion of Ukraine.

Take of it what you will.

Mine is 3 years old. Back then, I signed up but never really posted, just lurked for a while and went to explore Tildes instead. So yeah, didn't really do anything. I remember there being a few enthusiastic users about open-source software but also a few tankies, which kinda turned me off it. But I'm glad Lemmy's exploding with activity right now, as we got a more diverse userbase.

For now, I'd rather have a weekly thread for all anime airing this season, to be honest.

I signed up... checks notes... 3 years ago?! I don't even remember why! But I haven't posted much or at all since then. Now that Lemmy is gaining traction and is becoming more active, I'm trying to contribute to it as much as I can. So far, I've tried to comment at least once a day.

Yep, felt the same way on reddit. Sometimes, I started writing a comment but then halfway through I thought to myself "can I really muster the energy to engage with people who just skim through it or aggressively pick it apart and write an essay on how right they are with sources either taken out of their ass or taken out of context just to suit their viewpoints?". So I just ended up deleting it and go back to lurking.
