Libre Ang Open Source, Free Software

Mahalaga ang Open Source o Free Software dahil ang ginagamit nating mga
programs sa ating computer ay kailangang malaya nating nagagamit. Kung
bumibili ka ng mga software mula sa lehitimong nagbebenta nito ang
software mong nabili ay hindi mo pa rin maaring ibigay sa iba para
magamit nila. Ngunit ang Free Software ay maaring mong ibigay sa iba,
suriin para baguhin, o kaya ay gamitin naaayon sa iyong pangagailangan.

Kaya naman maraming developers sa buong mundo ang nagbibigay ng kanilang
talino at panahon para mapaunlad ang Open Source at Free Software. Sila
ay hindi binabayaran (ngunit ilan sa kanila ay empleyado ng mga kompanya
at organisasyon). Sila ay kusang gumagawa para mapabuti ang software sa
computer natin.

Parami ng parami ang gumagamit ng Free Software. Kung gumagamit ka ng
Firefox browser, ito ay produkto ng Mozilla na isang matagumpay na
kompanya ng Open Source. Ako ay gumagamit ng Linux. Ang Linux ay isang
operating system na gaya ng Windows at Mac OS X ngunit ito ay libreng
i-download at gawa ng mga developers sa buong mundo nang walang bayad.

Dahil libre ang Linux, hindi mo kailangang kopyahin ito ng ilegal. Hindi
mo kailangang nakawin sa may ari na tulad ng Windows XP mula sa Microsoft.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

Reflections On My Blogging: Keeping It Honest

When you're facing a white, blank screen trying to decide what to write, it seemed hopeless and hopeful at the same time. It's like watching a boat with its sails unfurled but there's no wind, yet you wait and then see the tide turning. You have to stop the distractions. Shut the door. Wait until your breathing is regular and your mind relaxed, like your wrists on the table infront of you. I imagine me looking sideways but not hearing anything. The sounds come much later. I see the big mass of color first, the greens. Just the vegetation, moving, not even individual trees, not leaves, just the big green. Then behind it the blue sky, unfocused and floating. Do not concern your brain with the details. Forget the words and the punctuations. But be mindful of the flow, trace the outlines, hear the motions. Sometime these things don't have a name, give it a name. How do you give something a name and still be honest? How do you keep your writing honest? I...

Webapps in Unity

So it has been 4 months since Ubuntu 14.04 came out. This is LTS and supported for 6 years by Canonical. The first mobile device with Ubuntu pre-installed is promised to come out later this year, 2014. It's time to check out how the apps perform so far. It is a good idea. I use Gmail and Twitter and Facebook. Why not a webapp in a desktop? So I start the Twitter and Gmail webapp. So far it has crashed my computer 6 times. Not a very good sign. On the other hand it does work but not as stable as opening them in Firefox. -- Use my PGP key if you want to encrypt your replies/messages to me.
