Application Migration III

This is a very nasty application.
It gets your permission and stays like a snake under the grass.
It reinstall itself without your permission.
It pretend to transfer an application and FREEZES at 90&.

I have removed it's installation for the 4th time today.

I am sure it will come again from the backdoor I have opened but I will Unstall it again and again.

I do not need it.

I have been using Application II to bring down 200 applications I was using.
I have deleted 35 totally and still had 165 left.
I took off the 4GB Micro SD card and put 16  GB card and tried this application III update.
It is running very very badly.
First of all it secretly hang around even after removing it's installation it go on boast about it's application performance showing  it's promise in sort of a video display.

In other words virtual memory but does not do a thing.

It is very very slow with frequent advertisement freezes.

For the third time I had installed it and after two applications transferred to SD taking hours it practically disappeared from my phone.

Thank you for your flight and I will never use it again or recommend anybody to use it.

All this tactics is to lure you to paid the paid subscription.

Not worth a subscription at all.

If you PAY you are stuck with this application.
It will be like a hungry leech having a meal after one year.


Utility Value of Linux

Utility value of CD/DVD Linux is unparalleled but value of a Unix book written by a panel of experts cannot be overridden by a single utility displayed in the Web.

This is what has happened to The Web and it's Education potential.

A guy or girl in early educational level having learned few tricks posts as Gurus to gullible web users.

I believe they have never red a book from cover to cover including related references.

In fact Web has become a hindrance.

I used to write a piece in the blog site when ever I encountered misrepresentation by rivals and I will continue to do that as a teacher for adults for a lsignificant part of my life.

The teachers job is not to spoon fed or make DIY at every turning corner but to guide him through the MAZE of misinformation and come out unhurt or broken down in soul but enrichment.

The Grand Web has failed miserably.

It is politically FAKED news

But academically it is the misrepresentation of facts in a statistical sense or a forum.

I have over 4000 books including about birds gone into extinction in Ceylon.

I have over 400 CD/DVDs which I have used at least once.

But I move on, not to the next best thing but to a utility that is light weight.

In the days of Windows, I used Open Office for productivity and to remove Macros.

Moved onto LibreOffice but my workhorse still is AbiWord which takes about few MB of RAM (I have a piece here about it in this blog post).

The pdf or the portable document with only a few KBs does my job.

Coming to png or portable network graphic, I use GIMP for editing my photos and when sending out through the Web it is converted png.

Microsoft till recently did not have pdf or png facilities but millions use it and clutter the Internet traffic.

Thank God the Android another Linux derivative but commercial one, came into squeeze  Microsoft by it's bulky neck, if not it's trunk.

One company cannot rule this world.

Unfortunately China and it's OS and cellphones trying the same spoilt exploits.

It can do it within it's borders with an iron fist but not in the democratic world exploited by big companies including Facebook and Twitter.


Linux Desktops and Productivity

This is to disagree with some of the comments circulating in the Web by paid pro Microsoft (rather micro shaft) guys and girls.

The simple letter signify my intent not to dignify the business trend and money.

It comes from two philosophies.

1. Small is beautiful!

2. Software ought to be FREE with ability to tamper with the CODE.BASE, so that there is no final product but an evolving ecosystem.

Linux does both with front end desktop's commanding status and back-end rigid style of organization.

I mean command output from a black terminal.

I never configured a server in Linux and let the router with Linux Samaba like utility to do me honours with 13 computers at home at different levels (all dismantled now).

I always hated black terminal but my output sky rocketed when X-system was adopted for user friendliness in desktops.

My current love is Plasma Desktop coming from Mandriva and SuSe KDE desktops background.

I did not like the rigid commercial Redhat default desktop.

Now coming to Desktops if you install Debian 10 in your computer you have all the desktops in one go in one installation.

When you boot up with a user logging you can pick and choose your own favorite desktop.

Coming from Puppy base, I use dogs names or monkey names as user logging.

Bono or monkey is my favourite user name with Gnome Desktop.

Other users will have a different desktops.

Our dog Zimba has his own desktop and all it's photos and few videos in that home folder.

I did not have a good video camera 10 years ago and Zimba passed in away 2016.

Then two years of relative hibernation and now coming back in style with Puppy in USB stick and AbiWord (removing all Macros from LibreOffice) doing the page formatting effortlessly for publishing.

So do not listen to these command guys and others struggling with micro-shaft word processing.

There are over 60,000 utilities in Linux and pick only the 10 you use frequently.

This piece unfortunately coming from an Android Nokia.

The Lineage OS is not popular yet and standalone cellphone production is stifled by Chinese mass production and trying to entice with their own OP system is ridiculous attempt.

I DO NOT use cheap Chinese products including margarine with short chain fatty acids that destroy your liver (not alcohol by the way).

They break down in less than a year of warranty and my intention is to boycott Chines products at all cost.
