Neon User Edition-6.6

Read thid peace until the last line.

I have given some instruction how to prevent Arsenic Poisoning.

I loved KDE during 32 bit Era.

PCLinux Fullmonty was my favourite.

Then, I discovered GNOME and remained stuck to it.

Currently KDE Desktop is a mystery for me. It looks like it is trying to catch up with the lost time. 

Problem with KDE is it does not have a Repository or a Package Manager of its own. It is trying to fill up the void with SNAP or Flatpak

I love Dolphin File Manager. I discoved thay Discover Utility in Dolphin can add additional packages which are not present in Synaptic Package Manager.

I install many applications but never test them in real life, simply because over 30 years I have gone through most of them and I have my own favorites which I am comfortable with and second nature to me. Addiing an application to the system and never using it a bit of crime as far as RAM and Resources of one's computer.

Do not be greedy.

Coming back to Neon User 6.6 it is very attractive. For some unknown reason Debian Forky (Testing ) does not support Blender but Neon User does support it. I was addicted to Blender during 32 bit era but never mastered it.

I am not sure the current version and what I know is with its dependencies it consumes memory or space upto 1.2GB.

So if you have resources I recommend User Neon and do not waste your time until KDE Desktop come into circulation. I think Neon has a Developer Edition, too.

It takes a long time updating a few applications.

I am up by 5AM in AUSTRALIA and me typing a comment using the cellphone has become a habit. 

I used to be up in CEYLON by 4.30AM with birds chirping. The birds come to our rooftop garden for drinking water. I keep a fresh water bucket kept for them drink. Otherwise, the magpies swallow my guppy fish who stupidly come to surface expecting fish pellets from me. Wild Guppy fish know how to hide.

Mynar is my favourite.

Coming to birds crow is the last visitor and he comes at 7AM since my wife put some bread crumbs. I have banned throwing  CEYLON rice to birds especially the Red Rice which has lot of Arsenic. Arsenic get deposited in the ovaries and they become sterile. 

Paddy cultivation and DDT destoyed our biodiversity.

That is the bottom line.

I stopped eating rice in CEYLON for the last 15 years since I react to one or two of the 5 nasty chemical residues in our rice.

By the way, arsenic does not cause any symptoms but it is the chronic poisoning that vauses multiorgan damage.

Remedy for arsenic poisoning is very simple. 

Sock rice on water the day before cooking.

Drain the water with arsenic.

Wash again throughly to get rid of any remaining arsenic. 

Arsenic is water soluble and any water body had residual arsenic.

Be obsessed with this routine.

Usually arsenic remains in the leaves of paddy leaves since paddy leaves are recycled there is no way to prevent this. Feeding them to cattle is not a solution and they get poisoned.

It is a Vicious Cycle.

PS

In this blog piece I have extensively written about the rice SAGA including microplatic pellets in our rice. Just Type rice and you would get other peaces.
