Just because it’s Inauguration Day doesn’t mean the time of mourning isn’t over for the recent passing of President Jimmy Carter. Flags are supposed to be flying at half-mast but some places governors due to political concerns have ordered them to full-mast because of Monday’s events in Washington, DC. President Carter is a great man who deserves to be remembered and properly honored. For all he did in his life, he deserves better.
I heard that TikTok is coming back online for Americans. It will be interesting to see what happens. This whole thing seems nefarious to me. I don’t trust it.
I run Linux Mint as my desktop and laptop operating system. It is free, open-source, and runs well on older hardware like mine. They released a terrific upgrade with some new and updated features so I have installed it on both of my machines and they run very well. I can do everything on Linux that I can do on Microsoft Windows without the bloat and slowdown.
Among the many things I like is when Linux Mint does an upgrade it doesn’t take forever to set up. I use Linux Mint 22.1 for web browsing, media, word processing, and playing games like Tetris and Solitaire and much more. So, It’s been fun setting things up and customizing the look on both machines.
Many machines are going to be without support from Microsoft as Windows 10 support ceases soon. I suggest Linux Mint for anyone who needs a fresh, modern operating system to keep their older machines running. There is a lot of support out there to help you get it running and use it for everyday tasks and the like.
I am not sure if this will make sense to many, but I believe a great leader is someone willing to serve. In my mind I believe you lead by example and that requires getting your hands dirty and doing some heavy lifting. Anyone who expects to get things done needs to inspire others and that means doing things that might seem impossible. There is a concept called servant-leadership and I buy into that a lot. Sometimes we can have too many chiefs and not enough workers too.
I worked from home on Friday due to winter weather making it hard to get around safely. Fortunately things melted enough so that I could get back to the office today. Let’s have the best day possible good people.
Every Sunday around 7pm I feel that Monday is inevitable and I get all anxious and stuff. I know the weekend must come to an end but still.
