Bring it on, mafia state.

Sounds a bit old-timey. I refuse to believe that there are people younger than 60 years old with that name.

Interstellar, The Day after Tomorrow, Deep Impact.

Nice, so we can just send you to instances I don’t like.

I have some Usenet posts from the late 90s that are still there. My oldest actively maintained internet presence is probably my LinkedIn account, which I registered in 2008.

Have a look at the Copenhagen criteria. How much of that is even remotely realistic?

I did, on numerous occasions, and it rocked. I’ve seen most countries in Europe, with the notable exception of Ukraine, which I hope to visit in the future.

If it’s your first time solo traveling I’d start out with a long weekend or a week and see if it’s for you. Also, making friends while traveling is super easy, even for introverted people.

Replaced my Gillette razor with Boldking. Migrated my Bluesky account to a Eurosky PDS.

Vivaldi.

What is the point of making up a scenario in your head to get mad at?

Oh man, that is tough to put in words, but let me try. First of all, the lyricism. The way Nas rhymed and structured his verses was practically unheard of. Rakim could do it, Big Daddy Kane could do it. Not many others. So just in terms of rhyming skill and storytelling, he was up there. It was also one of the first (cohesive) street albums, with Nas just acting as the observer, with vivid storytelling about what he saw around him. You can clearly hear his influence in Mobb Deep’s albums, for example.

Musically, it is quintessentially 90s East Coast rap, and it came out at a time where the focus was more on the West Coast (think NWA, Snoop Dogg). It has a cohesive sound despite having many different producers (Pete Rock, Premier, Large Professor, etc) on the album, something that wasn’t really done before that time.

Also, there’s not a single bad track on the album. 10 tracks, no filler.

Nas - Illmatic

Vivaldi is a great browser. I don’t love that is Chromium-based, but it’s honestly the only problem I have with it.

For search I use Kagi. It’s American, but it’s so much better than anything else for me that I haven’t made the switch to Qwant yet.

From other hand we don’t like major corporations here on fediverse

It’s perfectly fine to have your own opinion.

As for myself, I’m not opposed to major corporations per se and for that reason, no moral issues with investing as a whole. Currently my money is invested in an all-world ESG fund that includes a large exposure to the US. I’m not entirely comfortable with it but haven’t decided yet if I want to move my funds, and to which alternative.
