Song like the toast to Danny Whizz-Bang

I’m seeking a song that I was reminded of by the music that plays being the toast to Danny Whizz-Bang near the end of Peaky Blinders s01e06 about the 44 min mark. If that song were sped up just slightly, it is very close to the song I seek.

It is probably something similar to Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, Band of Horses, etc., but may not be. It may play in a montage in something like Ted Lasso, Severance, The Pitt. I vaguely get the feeling of birth and death at the same time.

The only lyrics that come to mind are probably completely wrong. Just one like. “The are gods in the ”. Or dogs. Dang it. I don’t know.

Rhythm is 1/2 rest, 1/8, 1/4 •, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/8^1/1^1/1. Music notation hard here. But that is down uuuupp doooown doooown down uuuuuuuppppp.

Losing my mind here.

We Overhauled Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy - Another VC funded bait and switch

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/43801404

Following in the footsteps of Hashicorp, Hudson, etc. Zed has chosen to cash in the good will of its now substantial user base and start going to full corporate enshittification. Among other things like minimum age nonsense, they have also added binding mandatory opt-OUT arbitration.

I find such agreements very troubling, because it gives up public funded dispute resolution for private which nearly unanimously benefits larger entities, it lowers transparency to near zero, and eliminates the abilities to act as a class and to appeal. But I worry most will just accept it, as is the norm.

You can however opt out by emailing [email protected] with full legal name, the email address associated with your account, and a statement that you want to opt out.

I'll just consider my days of advocating for Zed as an interesting new editor over and go back to Neovim bliss.

NeovideProject - A macOS application that manages Neovide instances per Git repository, providing a seamless project-based editing experience.

I like smooth scroll. I love Neovim. So I use Neovide. But I really wanted a nice way to manage instances per git repository / project, including server / remote socket management and allowing files to be opened into the correct instance. It detects running instances and opens into or switches to them accordingly.

This is also integrated into Finder and open via a swift wrapper. So one can, for example, use raycast to quick switch projects.

Check it out if that sounds interesting. There is also a longer video guide on the Usage wiki.

Zen Browser - A very nice, Firefox-based, clean UI browser

This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension.

In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. Here it is on Github, also.

Dear YouTube; About that Chapter Skipping Feature

Please, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, allow us to disable this chapter skipping feature (the one where tapping left or right to bring up the scrubber, then double tapping the other direction because 100% of people want to skip that direction some unit time - 10 seconds by default). This ends up feeling random and is just vexing.

It is the worst feature added to any software, maybe ever in the history of computing. How many hours are wasted trying to figure out where one was in this video? How much power and network bandwidth is consumed fighting this feature that I’ve not seen a single comment online of anybody benefitting from ever.

This feature is adding to human suffering by wasting energy and damaging people psychologically. Go please, look online, and consider castigating the creator of this feature in the public square. And then take a good hard look at yourself for not stopping this evil from ever being added in the first place.

Yours aye, Sane People

Has The Browser Company made any statements about Manifest v3 and Arc?

I’m curious if they have made any public statements on the topic. Now that the deprecation of MV2 is back on a schedule, a lot of Chromium forks will be affected by the change.

I’m a huge FLOSS and Firefox fan, but Arc’s UX is unparalleled in my view and I’ve switched for the time.

I can’t find anything on their website, YouTube, or Discord that makes a firm statement on the topic, but it would be very reassuring if they would or have.
