On your own hands

It's sad to see how some people don't take hold of their own life, and keep blaming others for whatever happens.

They don't seem to be capable of being responsible for their what they do, and simple have to place the blame outside themselves. Whatever happens to them cannot be their fault, there are no consequences to their actions.

Whatever happens, it the result of someone else's action, or it was their destiny. In their mind it's inconceivable that what's happening to them, is the end result of all their choices and actions up to that point. The only one they can take responsibility for what's going on in their life, are themselves.

Of course is a lot easier to put the place the blame on someone, or something, else. But, that doesn't make it so. At the end, all of our choices and actions have consequences we'll have to face, whether we like it or not.

The good or bad things that happen to us, are the direct result of what we have done so far. Of course, there are some things that are outside our power, and we have no influence on. But, at the end most of what we face on our daily life is a direct consequence of our own actions.

We can choose if we do what we need to reach our happiness, or let others do it for us. Yet, is our choice.

So, if you let others do the things you ought to be doing and they do it wrong, it's still your fault because you gave them the power to do so. If you don't want that, then do those things yourself.

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.
