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.

"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."

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.

'not speedy, but ongoing' - That sounds like E, alright ...

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?

TeXStudio for the convenience of compiling and managing multi-file projects; (neo)vim for serious work with the tex files.

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 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'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).

That's exactly why I'm wary of Family Search. In principle, I love the "open source" character of it, but that also means that one is not in control of one's own tree.

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.

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:

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.)

I agree that the source linking in familysearch is excellent. I'm a bit weary about using it as my main tree though: the lack of control, over the data and the architeture, the latter-day saints connection, and who knows when they will start charging? Etc. All the reasons why open source and open standards are always to be preferred. But I do admit to having a tree there ... :)

Nei, jeg har heller ikke reagert noe på /r/norge, men på alle mulige andre /r/'er hvor krenkelsesvilligheten er så høy at man blir utelukket bare man nevner feil navn. Det var bare så deilig å se det skrevet eksplisitt at "her gjelder ytringsfriheten og Norges Lover", i stedet for "dette skal være et varmt og koselig rom med blomster i vinduet og prikkete gardiner, hvor alle skal føle seg hjemme."

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?

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