You can use Play it slowly, which is rather bare-bones, or Sonic Visualizer, which is something of the opposite, but quite powerful.
My daily workhorse is Transcribe!, which I've been using for nearly 30 years, actually. Very powerful, and very intuitive, and with a lot of useful effects, such as filtering out the vocals (if possible), etc. I paid a one-time fee for a subscription back in the day. Money well spent.
Yeah, that was a game changer, learning about the dbl binds. I picked it up again a few weeks back, and those have been some pretty unproductive weeks
I remember that one of the things that really blew me away was the virtual desktop pager which was a live miniature of the actual desktops.
One of the first wow-moments when I first installed linux (2003ish) was Enlightenment. I though it was very pretty, and quite different from the mainstream WMs. It was presented as a feature, not a bug, that development was slow: the people behind it wanted to take the time it took to get it right.
So I waited. I always installed it on new computers, but it never seemed quite ready to use.
I did the same today, and the feeling is the same as in 2003: it's not quite there yet.
Hence the question: does anyone actually use it as their everyday WM?
I was going to say Combat Rock as well
I didn't think I would ever say this, but: arch isn't always the answer. True: the last time the entire system broke on me was in 2006'ish, but I can't count the times certain apps have stopped working or some python upgrade messes up things. Sure: that's the price of rolling release and AUR, and I wouldn't be without it, but it's a thing one has to learn to live with, and a thing that makes 'arch' the wrong answer to this particular question.
Which functionality is that? I haven't found anything that enters the selected item directly, without having to C-v it afterwards. Besides, the mouse is a thing I want to avoid… I played around with some other functions, however, and I found out that cycling through the history items works fairly well for me.
Is KDE particularly sensitive to updates in the background? It frequently happens to me that the session crashes during or after a pacman -Syu update. This never happened while I was using cinnamon
I don't know if it is the same issue, but in general I've been having lots of similar issues with KDE and suspending. Not suspending, not coming back.
That's more or less what I do, but it's not quite killring'y. The workflow I'm looking for is: paste as usual with ctlr-v, then press some shortcut to replace the pasted with the previous item in the "ring", without having to go through the backwards process of first enabling klipper, then choosing item, and only then entering it.
But I'll play around with it some more and see what I figure out.
I'm currently using Klipper, and it's fine, I suppose, but I miss the ability to cycle through the previous clips with simple keypresses, like in the emacs killring (the only thing I miss from my very brief experimentation with emacs back in the day).
I wrote this eulogy to St Stallman already quite a few years ago, with the point that he may be wrong, but he is wrong in the right way, and that is a good thing. Still relevant:
Hehe. Sorry if I put you on the spot; that wasn't the intention, really. (And: IDMA. "I don't mind acronyms")
MOCs – I guess I use them all the time, but not in a systematic way. I'm a folder guy, so I use folder notes fairly consistently. I also try to use "landing pages" for specific projects, with links to all the various bits of contents, so that I have everything in one place. But again: fairly unsystematically.
In general all those kinds of systems tend to make me think that they require a whole lot of thinking about thinking rather than the thinking itself...
You're welcome. That whole film is fantastic, including a sequence where Levon talks about singing and drumming at the same time. He claims that it's in fact easier that way...
It makes sense that your young son likes it: when it was written, Robbie Robertson had to be quiet so as not to wake up his sleeping daughter. So there may be some kind of father/child thing with this song. Check out the BBC Classic Albums special, where this clip is taken from: https://youtu.be/VusxYu9Uycs?t=75
Just wondering: how would you characterize the general feel of the different nvim flavours: LazyVim, Chad, Astro, etc.? I'm not thinking functionality, which plugins are included, etc., but the way they feel when one uses them.
I tried out a whole bunch of them, as per Elijah Manor's excellent video about config switching (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkHjJlSgKZY)
I figured out LazyVim is trying its best not to look and feel like vim, with modal windows and fancy graphics and all. I didn't like that. I can't remember why I left Astro behind, but I finally settled on Chad, which at first I disliked because of the name, but eventually I figured out that that was the flavour for me: so many things just worked as expected, and there were so many times when I looked up something, and went: "Hm! That was quite smart, actually!"
So that's where I'm at – and purely for "feel" reasons. So: convince me: what am I missing when I don't use bundle B or config C?
How do you manage your trees? Myself, I use webtrees. The interface may be a bit "old" and the handling of media in particular could have been better, but it's an online solution (so I have my tree available all the time), it's open source, it's 100% standards compliant, and the community is wonderful, so ... What is your favourite programme?
