Tsikbal: from my perspective

As time goes on, Linux Mint has become the operating system that works for me for my computers. It simply works for me, and it has worked as a charm ever since Linux Mint 19 (Tara) came about. I personalize prefer the version using the Cinnamon desktop environment , since the desktop environment that better suits my needs and system work really well with it. There is also the fact that it it works great with the dual monitor setup I prefer, and that Remmina works really well on Linux Mint. The first Linux distro I ever used was Ubuntu , yet ever since they move away from using Unity I just haven't felt comfortable using it. Linux Mint, with Cinnamon, just gives me a better user experience. With each new release since Linux Mint 19, at least the base experience has remained there. There have been some improvements, like being able to creating app Web App to create direct access to most used web pages that have served to improve my experience on the end user side, but the best ...

I've been using a Linux distro on my personal computers for about 8 years now. The two distros I've used from the start are Linux Mint and Ubuntu , though as of 2019 I prefer to use Linux Mint.   At work, most of the time I've to use Windows computers mainly because that was the operating system the computer I had to use had installed. Yet, since last year I've been able to use my laptop with Linux Mint installed for work since we have to work on a remote desktop . I use Remmina , and it has work great for me. If I had issues with it, all can be attributed to a bad Internet connection or the server going off line. I didn't know much about it, but it has been really easy to configure to work as I want it to work. So much so, that I prefer it over the Windows option I was using before.   The best thing, is that it allows me to work from anyplace I can get an Internet connection. The flexibility I get from it means that I can use my time much more effectively...

After a few weeks working from home, I've come to use cash far less than I did before. Most of the purchases I do on regular basis, I can do using credit, or debit, cards of via electronic transfers. As such, I don't need cash as much as I used to. To be honest, even before the start of the pandemic my use of cash had be declining for some for years now. Working from home only accelerated the trend, with no sign that my use of cash would increase any time soon. As it stands, there is no really a good reason for me to carry much cash. The need of having cash with me, or at least large amount of it, is becoming less important for me. I just need small amounts, since most of payments I've to do by electronic ways. Most importantly, is that I can actually choose not to use cash on my every day life. In a way, I've seen this coming a long way ahead. Yet, it still got me by surprise since it came in a way I wasn't expected to come by. For me, not having to worry about hav...

As time goes by, I've come to the realization that the problem isn't the amount of information that its available online, but there are many who don't have a way to process information critically in order to differentiate which information is relevant and useful from misinformation. Most people just are able to just memorize facts and figures, but not processing information. The problem isn't the amount of information out there, but that our education systems put emphasis on memorizing, rather then on giving students the ability to actually process the information they come across, in order to learn new things and make decisions based on that information. Simple memorization is not longer useful, but rather the ability to process new information and to internalize it in order to be able to act on it in the best possible way according to the needs we have at the moment. What we need now, is that people are able to go through new information and have the ability to use it...
