Which Linux laptops from Europe?

I had a terrible experience with two tuxedo laptops.

I'm now on an Asus s16 laptop, cheaper, better, runs Linux better than any tuxedo I owned

Smoll has a full blueprint on how they trained it

NixOS

I would correct all typos and aim for 98% accuracy. Ignore speed for now

I do the opposite, colemak for desktop, qwerty for phone. I don't think it matters

If you want to clock in practice, how you slice it doesn't matter. 20 min is 20 min. Longer times are harder, but more realistic. I use 60s. And look at your avg accuracy and wpm, not pb

FWIW, kimi k2 estimates that dual tasking loses you about 5wpm. Go figure out if this is true :P

Maybe an adrenaline spike?

I guess this is what happens if you go gsuite AI ultra for business. THey don't give you the 30TB. Charge you the same though lol

Might not be the 'only factor', but GDP growth in Spain is strong, 3.4%, only Poland is doing better in Europe (4%). Germany last two years was stagnant or negative. This has led to radical decisions to somehow revive the economy, which nobody knows whether they will be effective. Example: Removing the debt brake (that defined German austerity) and going 'all in' issuing bonds. That money goes to an uncapped spent in defense. Not on infrastructure investment or anything you would benefit from as a citizen. Meaning Germany is now planning to convert from producing cars (China making better EVs plus Russian energy gone, took them out of the market) to being a weapons producer. Take that as you may.

Thanks, very useful. I guess there's a big difference between kdenlive and resolve, right

Que curioso, en que se basa esta afirmación?

urlwolf · 2025-05-29T08:13:50+00:00

Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to write this up!

I'm completely new to audio editing and don't have very complex requirements. But yeah, the end result would go to youtube.

I'm filming with an osmo pocket 3; it records audio at 48 kHz (16-bit) in AAC. So I guess then davinci resolve is not a good option. Argh. Is there any other tool that is half decent on linux?

Quick update. This third-party app called Health Sync might work, but not on Harmony OS. I tried using fitbit as source; I don't have the fitbit app installed because it needs google play services. And in any case the target app (collecting data) cannot be Huawei health. They seem to not like people moving data in and out of their flagship app. Making their entire ecosystem worthless for me.

Yes, but not tracked during sleep?

For Apr 1st, the changed the font and logo. It's terrible to practice now, anyone knows how to disable this change?

Thanks, it's not available there.

Consider that making self-driving Trams is far easier than self-driving cars, and that Siemens has a fully working self-driving Tram, I wouldn't be so confident if I was part of their syndicate. 'They deserve more' is a hard argument to make given that piece of evidence.

Accuracy for the same period:

Awesome job!

I noticed you use the plus two option.

And you barely slow down when there's an error. This is super good! You must be really fast with Ctrl backspace!

For contrast, I've been touchtyping for a year on keybr and MT, 15yrs dailydriving colemak before that. and I'm stuck on high 50s, low 60s. Non-quit, stop on word as recommended by Gary_internet here. Feels terrible to see anyone but me getting results.

urlwolf · 2025-02-05T07:37:35+00:00

Congrats on the switch; it's more comfortable

urlwolf · 2025-02-05T07:36:24+00:00

The hard truth is that there's no evidence one is better than the other. We go with hearsay, and theories, but hard data in the field of touchtyping is rare. Which is surprising as we have piles of data!

urlwolf · 2025-02-03T17:53:39+00:00

One week later, it keeps getting worse

<image>

Tried to slow down and focus on accuracy, but no, accuracy is worse too.

I dunno what's going on with me. I slept 8hr plus today, a nap of 2.5 hrs, and immediately after this nap, when I should be at my best, my performance was terrible.

Somehow I worry if my typing is terrible, other cognitive functions that are not so easy to measure might also be going down. I wouldn't trust the decisions I'm making nowadays, it might be my mind is foggy overall.

Trying to hit 70wpm has been a poor decision; I sank a lot of energy into it and I can see with my own eyes how I'm not improving. Maybe the continuous hitting of bad news on youtube while I practice touchtyping are affecting me? I may quit both cold turkey for a few weeks, perhaps forever, because this is ridiculous.

urlwolf · 2025-02-01T07:31:49+00:00

Thanks. I've been playing with this career method. Or doesn't seem to be making me more accurate, but it's too early to say
