"Well, I like Immigrant Song."
They didn't want to stump up the cash for the fines & other costs.
But there was nothing progressive about the fines the city was racking up: San Francisco’s Supreme Court win negates proposed EPA penalties in the hundreds of millions of dollars and mandatory sewer system upgrades that would cost billions and billions.
And Altria ($1 million): Marlboro, Virginia Slims etc

At this point I remembered Distrowatch and realized you can search by country of origin. E.g. Distrowatch search for active distros from Austria. And Italy.
Too many European countries and too many distros for me to do them all. If anyone else wants to chip in, e.g. pick a country, feel free.
And if one neighbouring country (Canada) being threatened by that f$#king guy can get an honorary mention here, let's include another, too: Mexico.
- Nitrux - home - lemmy search - no results at time of this post.
Mexicans also started the GNOME desktop environment, but I don't think the upcoming GNOME OS is based in Mexico.
For anyone who wants a system that doesn't break, look into immutable distros (unchangeable base OS and libraries) with atomic updates (which don't replace anything until they have been fully installed and confirmed as working).
I don't know where Vanilla OS is officially headquartered but I do know several of its key figures are Italian.
I didn't realize until this thread because the only instance I had looked at was https://cryptpad.disroot.org/ , which doesn't seem to have updated to the OnlyOffice version of CryptPad.
Does it count as European if it was trained on content ~~stolen~~ "fair used" from all around the world?
Super Fly, by Curtis Mayfield
When it comes to Blaxploitation soundtracks, Isaac Hayes's Shaft title track get all the attention, but it's basically just Ike reading out the elevator pitch for the film over a riff (admittedly, one of the greatest riffs of all time), and the rest of the soundtrack doesn't hold up nearly as well.
But Super Fly is a whole album's worth of delving into and exposing the underbelly of life in the big city. A concept album with moving lyrics, great melodies and driving rhythms throughout.
Yes, the hip-hop & rock collaboration!
My memory of the film is not so negative, but then:
- I was a sucker for 90s action, especially with a hip-hop angle.
- It's been three decades since I've seen it (but been listening to the soundtrack pretty much ever since).
My favourite mid-90s US heist movie soundtrack was Dead Presidents, a film that didn't get a sequel but whose soundtrack album was so successful it did!
Admittedly not original compositions, more a "greatest soul hits of the 70s" compilation.
That would explain the strong support among the unvaccinated.
For some people, Trump has shit the bed (invasion threats, trade wars etc) and has stimulated a number of people to move away from US-controlled services and products.
