System overhaul

The more I see how the current political players at state level can regain the trust from the electorate without a mayor overhaul, but sadly I don't see said overhaul happening.

The three mayor parties seem to be blinding themselves to the fact that they are losing the support from the majority of the society. The leaders seem to automatically dismiss the fact that the population is dissatisfied with how they are representing us at all levels of government, and forget that their power comes from us.

What I find worst, is that elected officials tend to heed more readily what ever line is given to them by the political party, than the given by the people they represent or govern.

More often than not, the line given by the political parties doesn't match needs or wants of the population. Which only brings anger and resentment toward the both, the party and the official. This has been going for so long, that it has generated a high level of distrust and apathy on society.

It seems that even when people wants the system to change, more often than not we don't believe that it can be done.

To be honest, I have seen some signs that society seems to be flexing it's muscle to make changes happen. One example is with the tax on property at Cuernavaca, where the authorities are being made to back paddle the excessive hike on this tax. Granted, the battle hasn't been won yet, but no authority can actually dismiss the protests easily.

If this works, it gives me hope that the change the political system need in Mexico will come sooner than later. It might be a little thing, but we have to start somewhere.

Machenike and Linux Mint: quite a nice combo.

I've been using a Machenike L16A  with Linux Mint  as my daily driver for four months now, and I must admit that I'm impressed with how good the experience has been so far. The Machenike was recommended to me by a close friend about six months ago, since I told him that I was looking for a new laptop. He had bought one a while ago, and said that it was a solid machine. Not only that, Machenike laptops were quite a great value for the money since they are significantly cheaper than comparable laptops from the competitions. And to be honest, when I got my laptop i expected to be so, but not to the extent it has been so far. After four months, my laptop feels really snappy and the performance is just great. And since I upgraded to Linux Mint 22 Wilma, it only has gotten better. One of the areas where I see most improvement, in on the Bluetooth connectivity. It connects more consistently with the three Bluetooth headphone I use, and now I can see how much battery the headphones I...

Machenike L16A: a great value for the money.

I recently got a Machenike L16A to replace the HP laptop I've been using for about 4 years now, and it has been quite a good upgrade. The value for the price has been excellent, it has really felt like an upgrade. Specially going from 8Gb of RAM to 16Gb. I specially notice the better performance when at work, since I use a remote desktop. I simply don't see as much slowdowns on the same use. Most of the time, at work I've the remote desktop app, Firefox , Thunderbird , Spotify , or sometimes Rhythmbox , open at the same time and having 16Gb of RAM gives the performance I need since at time around 6-7Gb are used. I also feel the AMD Ryzen CPU has been quite an upgrade, since it has more cores and threads than the Intel CPU my HP laptop has. That makes for a better user experience. But, where I see the better user experience is on the keyboard, and display side of things. The keyboard keys got stuck often, making the track pad unusable and characters to repeat themselves. ...

Linux Mint 22.1 Xia: a solid point release.

It has been about a week since I upgraded to the Linux Mint 22.1 Xia,  and it has been one of the best point releases Linux Mint has had in a while. The change that has proven to have the most impact on me, as an user, is the ability to change the power setting on my laptop. I've seen a mayor battery life improvement when I set the power setting to power saving when not plugged in, and one of several hour. It has gone up from about 4 hours, to about 8 from a full battery charge. Other than that, it has been a great point release so far for my daily use. Now, I'm looking forward for Wayland to supersede X11 . And that's why I like Linux Mint, it give a modern OS that only changes things when necessary and it just works. It isn't at the bleeding edge of Linux, but I don't need to be at the bleeding edge. I just need at the system that just work.
