Free thinkers...

It's impressive that many people out there don't have a clear background of many subjects not because they aren't smart or intelligent enough, but because their understanding of many basic concepts is lacking or there are several misunderstandings about what is happening.

To make matters worse, people are not willing to take a look on what's going and how things happen. Most are contempt with having a shallow view of what happens around them, and the consequences of events can have on theirs lives. They seem to be happy, or just be contempt, to accept whatever media or other outlets tell them is going to happen.

Consequences are not thought, so when they arrive the surprise that comes with them can be quite a shock. Some even feel offended because no one told them about them, even when just having thought their actions before hand could have prevented any harm.

Not only that, they don't stop to think what they should do. They just do as they are to do at all times, it doesn't seem to matter what they personally think or feel about anything. It seems that many have become a sort of automated machine that can be told what to do, and how to do it.

We need to educate people to think for themselves, and to seek information relevant to their needs before making any decision. Also, they should be able to take the responsibility for those decisions, to accept the consequences and to learn from them. In essence, there is a dire need for free thinkers.

If not, we could end up having a disparate society. Where the top members can manipulate rest of society, just because they don't question why they have to think or act a certain way.Any freedom will be traded to become sheep.

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 going for the long-term support model was the right choice.

Ever since I stared using  Linux Mint  with the long-term support mantra with the version 19 Tara release, I've come to prefer Linux distros  that use development model rather than distros that release updates more often with shorter support windows. Even though I upgrade to the new Linux Mint release as soon it becomes available, knowing that I don't have to rush it and that the testing to make sure nothing is broken with the new release is a bit more intense, gives me feel a bit safer about thing will continue working as I used to and expect them to. Besides, all the apps I use are updated as continuously. As such, I don't need to worry using versions of those apps that fall behind. Not only the that, with updates to Linux Mint come as needed and the point releases keep bring the big releases that weren't included at the original release of the OS. For my needs, Linux Mint cover them all, and it gets better with time. With each release, Linux Mint keeps feeling like ...
