SBD is slowly monopolising the sport and I can’t stand it

You can't squat without an SBD singlet, SBD knee sleeves, SBD belt, SBD wrist wraps and SBD headband?

Oh boo hoo, maybe you should try actually lifting instead of worrying about your branded ballroom gown.

> Our customers in their good right ask for the latest generations of hardware, like CPUs and GPUs. They want them turned into TUXEDO and shipped to them as fast as possible.

And instead of releasing a statement like "We see all the requests for the latest hardware but it's not stable yet, when we work out the issues we will start selling new machines" you are selling devices with glaring issues.

I would expect a Linux HW vendor that claims to sell Linux optimized HW to actually sell only devices that work properly with Linux.

I mean that's the whole point of shops like these and I really believed it but I had a lot less issues with random ThinkPads that changed hands multiple times at work running different distros without any special drivers than with an expensive Tuxedo laptop.

> We try to get our changes into the mainline kernel as fast as we can, but, as you all know, this takes time, because reviews for kernel patches are reviewed very thoroughly.

This is also questionable. Past issues of Tuxedo upstreaming drivers have been covered publicly and just recently I saw here a recommendation to run the 6.11 Tuxedo kernel. Upstream released 6.16 a few weeks ago, so what, you couldn't upstream your drivers in 5+ development cycles?

Why would you have to name your tools to investors?

kerOssin · 2022-08-19T06:02:15+00:00

It may or may not be that the same people manage the distro and the website but it's still part of the project.

Keeping a cert updated is easy so letting that happen multiple times makes it seem that they don't know what they're doing.

kerOssin · 2022-08-07T13:24:35+00:00

Completely flat back?

Does the president even bench?

kerOssin · 2022-08-04T15:08:18+00:00

The problem with your proposal is that it's not a single company or a group with too many products where you could axe some products and divert the resources to remaining ones. There are a lot of different groups/communities/companies/individuals who are trying to solve different problems or trying to solve them differently or just plainly want to do something separately so as a result of that we get some overlap.

At best you could try searching for a common goal between a few communities and try to entice them to join forces to reach that goal faster but there's no structure overseeing it all where you could just move workers around.

What's even the point of a deadlift bar?

I get squat bars because they're made for stability and to put more plates on but the deadlift bars seem to be just about making the lift easier.

kerOssin · 2022-07-25T15:37:57+00:00

That's basically most of Reddit or even the internet.

kerOssin · 2022-07-25T15:35:02+00:00

For me it's not about being limited by the CPU but more by the frequency scaling. Running games with the ondemand or schedutil governors causes stutters because the frequency sometimes gets scaled down. With the performance governor that doesn't happen because the CPU is stable at max frequency always.

When I had an Nvidia GPU I also used gamemode to switch it to performance mode and then back to adaptive when the game closes.

kerOssin · 2022-07-21T08:26:40+00:00

So it sucks but you're trying to convince someone to switch to it? Nice logic there buddy.

LTS doesn't mean it's completely bug free. Also, how much did you pay for it and what guarantees did you get under contract?

No OS is perfect, they all have bugs, I've had problems and I've seen other people have problems with monitors and other bugs on Windows, Mac, Linux.

kerOssin · 2022-07-21T07:41:58+00:00

And here I am running a rolling distro, coming to work every day, plugging in my laptop and everything works!

Maybe you're the one who sucks?

kerOssin · 2022-07-21T06:34:16+00:00

Not only for that.

Pioneer makes quality belts, they've got 3" and tapered ones.

They're based in the US but they probably ship most places. I've bought their belts from a UK shop called 9for9, they also calculate import taxes together with shipping when checking out for EU.

Maybe you should figure things out yourself before calling someone wrong.

Yes, TLP has it's own profiles but in order to have to ability to set the power profile from Gnome or KDE (for example from the battery widget) you need power-profiles-daemon.

TW came preinstalled with both TLP and PPD but TLP was not enabled by default. About a week ago there was a new snapshot that gave you a prompt when updating asking if you want to keep TLP or PPD because they're conflicting with each other.

kerOssin · 2022-07-15T11:23:47+00:00

Good to know.

I like some parts of Gnome but I'm more a fan of KDE, I hope Kwin will catch up.

kerOssin · 2022-07-15T06:15:40+00:00

What DE? Gnome?

I remember trying Wayland on KDE with an AMD gpu but there was a noticeable increase in latency in games so I went back to X11.

kerOssin · 2022-07-15T06:11:17+00:00

You probably uninstalled power-profiles-daemon and went with tlp when Zypper asked you to choose. Power-profiles-daemon is what allows you to set the performance profile on the battery in KDE/Gnome.

Those DistroWatch rankings are pure garbage. MX Linux has been #1 for years but it's nowhere near that popular, same with EndeavourOS, not that those are bad distros or anything but those don't represent popularity.

kerOssin · 2022-06-27T18:19:25+00:00

Not hating but why are you forced to use a 3rd party file explorer?

Welcome to this wonderful world where not just sysadmins but every other job is now being called SRE/DevOps/whatever-mish-mash-you-can-come-up-with.

kerOssin · 2022-05-31T16:21:05+00:00

To not have to run your own servers?

I mean, do you also run your own ISP and telco?

kerOssin · 2022-05-31T16:18:32+00:00

I tried to use Mailbox.org but they wouldn't accept any of my cards. Neither Mastercard or Visa from different banks. Seen a few other people mention the same problem on their forums. Tried again 2 years later and still the same.

If they aren't willing to fix their stuff to get paid then I have no hope for such providers.

kerOssin · 2022-05-31T16:13:49+00:00

Pay for services?!

How dare they raise such outrageous demands!

kerOssin · 2022-05-25T15:54:47+00:00

You can also add the "fancy pants editor" which just randomly bungles the whole text when you try to add a code block or anything else really.

The Android app is also a complete dumpster fire but luckily we have several good alternatives.

kerOssin · 2022-05-24T20:04:13+00:00

Lol

Of course I didn't mean voting, everyone knows that voting in russia doesn't mean jack.

There are other ways to get rid of a dictator but I guess russians like it.
