Right now Meloni is suing Daniele Fabbri, a stand-up comedian, for a satirical video he published in 2021.

The comedian was commenting on some sexist insults the politician received, saying that it’s possible to criticise a public figure without being misoginistic. Being a comedian he did that by listing some overly childish insults along the lines of “stinky” and such.

It is very troubling when a prime minister aims to silence dissident voices exercising the protected right to satire, and I find it particularly egregious given said person was basically defending her as a woman even while criticising her as a politician and public figure.

Angela Gossow was a beast, glad they found a very suitable replacement when she left.

In the realm of epic/symphonic metal you probably can’t throw a stone without hitting an amazing female vocalist. Simone Simons from Epica, Nightwish’s Floor Jansen, Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation), and Zora Cock for Blackbrariar are the first that come to mind.

For folk metal there’s Eluveitie with two members and Folkstone with I think one.

Very worth mentioning is Alyssa and her harsh vocals, from Arch Enemy.

While she’s not been a member in a long while, I have to mention Vibeke Stene as the vocalist from Tristania, maybe my all time favorite.

For all female bands there’s Girlschool, and you could say Babymetal, even if they have more members playing with them I don’t know how permanent they are.

Others that I know of but haven’t really listened much by would be Jinjer and Halestorm.

That’s what I can think of off the top of my head, but there’s so much more.

Edit: I almost forgot but I have to add: Amy Lee from Evanescence and Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil.

Seems like a bit of everything

Sorry, can’t do that under capitalism perpetual growth

In Italian we have an equivalent, Statunitensi, but Americani is probably used more often to mean the same thing

What about Canada?

I can’t speak as an artist as I ain’t one, but as someone who loves listening and discovering new music, Jamendo is great. There are many artists I listen daily that I only know because of it.

Wouldn’t that depend on the license you choose? If it doesn’t include the Non Commercial clause then there’s no reason to hunt anything. Plus from what I see it’s an opt in thing.

+1 for Jamendo and CC licenses

Great work!

For context, I’m from Italy. I’m just worried about the kind of violence directed specifically towards anyone “different”, whether it’s about skin color, place of origin or anything else

Well, maybe hate crime.

I understand not jumping to conclusions, but a white man shooting up a school for immigrants kinda sounds like a duck

I game on Linux (Arch, btw) and the only games that don’t work using wine/proton (so far) are those that require kernel level anti-cheat software. Everything else runs mostly flawlessly throgh Steam or Lutris.

Definitely ditch Nvidia. I bought an AMD one and it works with Linux without any hassle or tinkering.

The items would just be kept on sale at hugely inflated prices
