foss audio slowdowner?
  • 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.

  • Why Dylan should not have received the Nobel Prize

    dylanology.substack.com Why Dylan Should Not Have Received the Nobel Prize (Dylanology 26)

    The first of three texts about Dylan as a literary figure, about reasons for being right or wrong, and about prose music

    Why Dylan Should Not Have Received the Nobel Prize (Dylanology 26)

    "It was therefore eerily portentous when on 13 October 2016, two things happened. Early in the morning it was announced that Dario Fo had died. And at 1 PM, it was announced that this years winner was Bob Dylan."

    Does anyone actually use Enlightenment?

    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 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.

  • Is there a clipboard manager with killring-like functionality?
  • 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.

  • KDE session crashing during Syu

    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

    Is there a clipboard manager with killring-like functionality?
  • 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.

  • Is there a clipboard manager with killring-like functionality?

    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).

    Borten Moe får strykkarakter av akademikerne

    www.altinget.no Slik ville Stortinget sett ut om akademikerne fikk bestemme: – Borten Moe (Sp) får strykkarakter

    Regjeringspartiene har mager oppslutning blant landets høyest utdannede. Kun én prosent støtter opp om politikken til deres egen statsråd, forsknings- og høyere utdanningsminister Ola Borten Moe (Sp). MDG suser derimot fram som landets tredje største parti. –...

    Ikke så merkelig at akademikere ikke liker Borten Moe. Og hvis MDG kan bidra til å få bort tellekantsystemet, så er de i hvert fall til nytte for noe.

    yo what lighter do you all use
  • I found mine on the venue floor after a Dylan concert. I've considered taking up smoking just to get some use for it. But it's nice to have on a hike as well. A bit more healthy too.

  • Comparison between the different nvim "bundles"
  • Yes, one of these days, that's what I'm going to do. I do find it useful, though, to try out some of the bundles, if only to get an idea of what is possible, and what I like (and what I hate).

  • OK, they say some content is needed

    That this will just be looking like a ghost town with just the welcome message and nothing else.

    So here goes: I haven't followed the discussions – if any – at r/bobdylan about the blackout. There was no discussion, was there? (otherwise I would have expected to see a refugee or two over here.)

    Comparison between the different nvim "bundles"

    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?

    What software do you all use?

    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?

    Welcome!

    I couldn't find a Bob Dylan community here, so I made one. Spread the word!

    Jeg liker reglene!

    "Her er det ytringsfriheten som gjelder! Ytringsfrihet er den friheten alle mennesker har til å gi uttrykk for det de mener og ønsker å si noe om. Dette medfører også at man må tolerere at andre har forskjellige meninger enn deg selv."

    Det var det verste med Reddit: den systematiske hårsårheten.
