The Internet should be built on open standards...

The importance of the Internet can't be understated, after all it has permeated into almost all aspects of our life's. We use it for work or play, sometimes for both.

It's a great forum where we all come together, to share with others or to look up new things. It's a gathering place where everyone is invited, and free to engage as best he can. In many ways, is has become a place to launch new ideas to the world or to start great changes.

This is why it is vital to keep the Internet free to all, and without a central control. Information should flow freely between individuals and groups.

Equally important is to build it on open standards, so anyone can work with them and so everyone has access to the data contain on the Internet. If the standard is close, there is a real danger that any data on that format could be lost if the owner of that standard goes down for any reason or chooses to stop supporting it.

Open standards are vital because of this. Since the standard is developed, and supported, by several individuals and groups the risk that it wont be supported in the future is less likely. Not only that, because there are several developers working on it new features can be added faster, and bugs can be corrected faster.

Security would be greater, since patches can be set up sooner. Also, the code is being scrutinized by several people looking for any code that can be harmful that'll rise the red flag faster and explain things a lot more clearly.

So, let's move the Internet so open standard and keep it using them. Only then, we can have a free Internet for all to use.

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.
