Name a legendary musical hit in your country. Rule: must be over 30 years old
  • Yeah, that's a fair point. After my post I thought A minha casinha or Não sou o único would also be good choices.

    (Grândola is well-known amongst at least some niche circles in Spain, where it was first released/sung during the dictatorship).

    That's true, from what I can tell, it's pretty popular in Galiza.

  • Name a legendary musical hit in your country. Rule: must be over 30 years old
  • 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.

  • What's the best King Of Fighters games ever released?
  • Alright, I stand corrected then.

    But I don't think it has rollback netcode or crossplay so I only recommend it if you're not interested in playing online.

  • What's the best King Of Fighters games ever released?
  • If you want to play online, the latest entry (XV) is the best. It has rollback netcode for smooth online play and crossplay so you have a bigger pool of people to fight against. It's also more beginner-friendly than earlier games, although its learning curve is still a bit steep compared to other recent fighting games. Also, the new additions to the cast, namely Isla and Dolores, are really cool.

    Since you own an Xbox, I wouldn't think twice about getting it.

    As for my personal favourite, I'd say KoF 2002 but it's not on Xbox.

  • Your first distribution
  • I started with Crunchbang in its final years. It was a great introduction to Linux, to be honest. It was also a very solid distro, as it was Debian-based.

    But, sadly, it eventually folded. It still has a spiritual sequel in BunsenLabs but, in the meantime, I'd moved to Arch (btw).

  • The European Union’s remarkable growth performance relative to the United States
  • Portuguese here. This is anecdotal evidence but, as far as I can tell, a lot of our proficiency comes, essentially, to constant exposure to the English language since the early to mid-90s. We don't dub English-speaking media (apart from movies and tv shows more aimed at kids, but even then, Cartoon Network didn't even have subs when I was a kid and I still watched it religiously), the video games we played when we were kids also didn't have a Portuguese language option so we were basically forced to learn English.

    And now that the Internet has become widespread throughout the country, the younger generation consume a lot of English-speaking content, so they have little trouble with speaking and writing in it.

    This results in a good % of the population having decent to good English, not just the kids but a lot of people in their 30s (and some in their 40s) too.

  • Takehito Koyasu's voice is instantly recognizable for me, anyone else?
  • I'll add Mamoru Miyano to the list.

    EDIT: Also, Jouji Nakata aka Alucard from Hellsing.

  • What are some songs that you started listening to ironically, but grew to genuinely enjoy?
  • I'm ashamed to say I've never watched Initial D. But it's on my watchlist.

  • What are some songs that you started listening to ironically, but grew to genuinely enjoy?
  • 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.

  • What are you reading/listening to this week? (November 1st, 2023)
  • Feudal society by Marc Bloch. Non-fiction history book about - you guessed it - feudal society in Medieval Europe, namely France, Great Britain and Germany. It's a bit outdated (namely regarding the usage of some terms) but it's still very engrossing. Used to be mandatory reading if you wanted to know more about Western Europe in the Middle Ages.

  • FALL 2023 ANIME CALENDAR
  • Really? This is ridiculous! How many parts are in this part?

  • FALL 2023 ANIME CALENDAR
  • Sorry, meant to say the last part of the final season.

  • FALL 2023 ANIME CALENDAR
  • So many great new shows and sequels airing this fall. Personally, I'm excited for:

    • Frieren
    • Overtake!, mostly because I'm a motorsports fan
    • The Apothecary Diaries
    • The sequels: Spy x Family, The Ancient Magus' Bride, Goblin Slayer, and Girlfriend, Girlfriend

    And, with considerably less excitement, I guess I'm going to watch Attack on Titan as well, hoping it's the actual final season.

  • FALL 2023 ANIME CALENDAR
  • Aside from Frieren, which was already mentioned, the Apothecary Diaries has a shot at it if it's well done. As far as I know, both the light novels and the manga are fairly popular.

  • OST For Games
  • https://downloads.khinsider.com/ is the best I've found so far. Some numbers:

    • Total albums: 43,913
    • Total songs: 1,325,601
    • Total size: 12581
  • Guilty Gear -Strive- Starter Guide - Johnny
  • Never played Johnny on Xrd or +R much but it seems his most interesting mechanics are still present in Strive, like his Mist Finer cancels.

    As for the burst, it's probably due to the new mechanics, I think you can active them with 50% of your burst gauge.

  • Alternatives to Aurora store?
  • 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.

  • Do you trust Brave company and their products: Browser, Search, VPN, etc..?
  • I remember having to use Internet Explorer to do some actions on the autoridade tributária website, like simulating and submitting IRS (even had to download an external application) but that was like 10-12 years ago. More recently, I had to do some stuff with regards to opening and closing my activity (I was on recibos verdes for a while) and did it all through Firefox. Haven't had to do much else beyond this.

    As for seg. social, I just tried to log in and it said my password expired and I had to create a new one. But when I filled in the password fields and tried to click on the button to submit it, it didn't work. In any browser. Because there was no fucking link associated with the button. So the button did nothing. I had to manually click on the "recover my password" link so I could a create a new one.

    When I logged in, I just clicked on a few things, even simulated my retirement pension and everything worked. It's not much of a test, I know, but it's something.

    Never entered fundo ambiental so I have no idea if it works or not.

  • Do you trust Brave company and their products: Browser, Search, VPN, etc..?
  • Portuguese here. Haven't had to use anything but Firefox on the IRS and Social Security websites. What are you having trouble accessing?

  • MB Way com microG?

    Olá!

    Ontem mudei de ROM no meu Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, do VoltageOS para o CalyxOS, sendo que este último não utiliza os serviços da Google mas sim o microG, uma re-implementação free as in freedom dos anteriores, substituindo o Google Services Framework, Google Play Services e a Play Store.

    Tenho é um problema: o MB Way não funciona, dá-me a mensagem de erro acima. Alguém faz alguma ideia se é possível contornar ou resolver este erro?

    Nas configurações do microG tenho tudo ativado, incluindo o Google SafetyNet, através de um módulo no Magisk, o Universal SafetyNet Fix, e consigo passar os testes do SafetyNet attestation e do ReCAPTCHA.

    Não sei que mais informações poderei dar mas se for necessário, digam-me.

    Obrigado desde já!

    EDIT: Para quem entrou aqui à procura de solução, esta funcionou para mim: tal como o @[email protected] sugeriu aqui. utilizem a app do banco e verifiquem se tem subfuncionalidades do MB Way.
