Has Batalanda Man gone bonkers?

I think the Batalanda Man has gone bonkers.
 

His plans are obvious.

1. He is going to charge Rs.50,000/= from every eligible candidate over 18 for his election campaign.

Solution is simple, if 50,000/= is deducted from any soul he or she should not vote for him.

2. Second important thing is DO NOT cast the Second Vote.

Keep it VOID since it is not mandatory.

If your first choice is not coming to power why vote for a second choice (vote)?

This is the ploy to hoodwink Tamils and Muslims.

This is the ploy J.R.J. devised to lure the minorities of the North and East.

Without them 50% cross over is impossible.

If Muslims or Tamils do not have a first choice they should abscond.

They should never use the second choice.

The "Divide and Rule" British method is enacted by our Bogus Raja.

There is no choice except to vote for somebody for Tamils and Muslims living in Sinhala majority areas.

3. Ma Ra Ya is planning these from behind the scene.

This man is only a decoy.

4. After the election average citizen will die of starvation.

Carrot is already over Rs.1500/=.

This is to lure the Estate Tamil (Vegetable) Vote.

Nobody will buy these vegetables after the New Year Election.

5. My guess is what ever the election, it has to be held Before April Holidays.

By September Ceylon is a Sinking Ship.

6. Bottom line is we should abolish this Post of Presidency and go back to parliamentary democracy of old days.


In two sessions of parliamentary elections Ceylonese will learn again to live in harmony with an amiable Prime Minister.

Another Presidential term is an absolute disaster for Ceylon.

China, India and USA are eagerly waiting for a "lame duck" President who will sell our land and our soul even to the devil.

7. We can turn tables

Giving the post to the N.P.P. guy is an absolute disaster!

He cannot get 50% and Tamils won't trust him and Muslims will be ambivalent.

I will not voice my opinion after the election is declared and I would come back during the election for  "on the spot" inspection.


Tuxedo Linux

I am very supportive of Tuxedo Linux and I am waiting for it's Cosmic desktop.

I am just writing it's latest Iso into a USB stick.

Report when I have finished testing it. 

The Cosmic desktop is not available.

1. FireFox my favorite (apart from Falcon and Opera) is sleek.

2. It is Ubuntu based which is bit of downside since Canonical is going through a sea change.

Ubuntu 21.10 is OK but 21.10.1 is wobbly with old computers.

3. It is KDE my old desktop "flame" but an avid user of Gnome new desktop is Superb.

4. Wireless connectivity is effortless.

5. No Synaptic, SNAP or FlatPak which restrics the availability of software.

Since it is developing its own hardware, I have no qualm about it and they probably port only stable applications to cut down on customer complaints.

The other side of the coin, is when guys and girls looking latest and cutting edge utilities they will not join the band wagon.

5. Office is there as usual my faourite AbiWord is not there.

My conviction is any distribution who do not port this versatile (almost command line utility as a long tern Linux supporter, I will not change my habits.

Take a leaf from Parrot OS which is scaled down but very versatile without scarifying security.

Overall a good effort but it won't be my workhorse for any stretch of imagination.

I am a NUC guy and it only spends only 8 Watts typing this message and no irritating FAN hissing in the background.

In fact I bought a second hand SATA of 500GB and because it was giving a hissing noise I removed it from my NUC and put my OLD Toshiba SATA disk back.

In any case, two of my latest currently working books are there.

I did not copy them to a USB stick.

My saying, if the the old stuff works for YOU Do Not Change.

Carry on Regardless!
