Light Weight Window Managers of Linux

Long time ago when I was new to Linux, I used Light Weight Window Managers.

Out first computer (bought for my son) which is defunct now had only 2MB of Video Ram and 512MB of total RAM.
Hard disk of 2GB.

My new Samsung cellphone has  8GB RAM and 128GB hard disk which would last a decade.

I am addicted to KDE plasma.

It is time I reflect on Light Weight Window Managers.
I got hooked to Linux due to them.

Ancient Civilizations and their Demise

 Ancient Civilizations and their Demise

 

My premise is that preclude to their own demise, all ancient civilizations engaged in Wars of Attrition.

That premise is valid, even though we have not entered the World War III yet, all the indications are we are ready for one.

Lack of diplomacy is the Cardinal sign of War of Attrition.
Diplomacy takes a second fiddle at the time of war.

I leave it at that.

Other reasons without order of merit are;

1. Communicable diseases.
2. Famine
3. Catastrophe due to fire, floods, extremes of weather, volcano eruptions.
4. Meteorite hits. 
5. Alien wars fought on this planet where fleeing aliens wars pursued to extinction 

What happened to;
1. Sumerians
2. Incas
3. Ancient Egyptians
4. Ancient Pacific Islanders
5. Harindajaro Harrappans

Human Dimension, Open Inquiry and Quality of Information

Human Dimension, Open Inquiry and Quality of Information

This piece is based on Open Inquiry envisaged by Kalama Sutta of Lord Buddha. 

Lord Buddha when asked by Kalama "Who is telling the Truth", of course Kalama having listened to many opinions in circulation, gave him several qualifications, before accepting something as plausible. 

Buddhist monks of yesteryear had expanded the qualifications to 10 but I say unlike monks Buddha never counted his fingers when dispensing a valid question. 

He was brief and precise. 

Buddha was very good at counter questioning, too. 

I have a longer piece here in this blog, on Kalama Sutta and you are free visit. 

Before validating Quality of Information, healthy dose of skepticism and a liberal sprinkle of satire are fundamental in the cyberspace.

In a scientific sense, Data become garbage and statistical analysis becomes random manipulation, as required by the corporate needs.

Coronavirus and Big Pharma are current examples.

My book, "Coranavirus Who  cheated us Locally and Globally" was published with that sense of skepticism and satire.

It took sometime for the global community to be aware and wide awake with current events.

If the sale of the book was an indicator of "Open Enquiry" my humble attempt was a success.

The Human Dimension was tragic reminder of the insensitivity of the CDC hierarchy of the American Scientific System enwrapped in corruption.

Death due to vaccine far exceeded the number of death due to virus itself.
That is a human tragedy.

It will take sometime for the scientific community to gather any form of credibility in the minds of average citizens.

The role of media was bizarre.

No point crying over proverbial spilled milk.

It is now sour anyway.

The premise here is that American Administration does not want it citizens to be Free Inquiring. 

Free Inquiry is not in the American genes. 

Americans should always swallow what the government is saying as the gullible truth. 

Ukraine is winning. 

We are a democracy. 

Russia is no military power. 

Zelensky is clean and he never smoked stuff. 

We do not employ "Truth Embargo". 

Alien visitation was simple imagination. 

Bob Lazar was a fictional guy and was clueless in physics. 

This list is endless and I will leave at lucky number 7.
