The Dawn of Everything: Introduction

A few months ago, I was perusing a book shelf inside a book shop (evidently) looking for a book(Géohistoire - Une autre histoire des humains sur la Terre by Christian Grataloup) about how geography partially determined of the evolution of mankind that I might read later because on a complete struck of luck my gaze was captured by this book with a beautiful golden lettering on blue cover. After rapidly looking through the book and looking on the Internet what people interested/researching in history and ethnology were saying, I decided to take it home.

Using remote desktop system VNC on Gnome

I have been wanting to use my ancient iPad 2 which still works like a charm instead of buying a new tablet. I have succeeded in jailbreaking it and downgrading from iOS 9 to iOS 8, but in any case it is nearly unusable to browse the web because of obsolete webkit and certificates. So I started thinking about using it as a remote desktop access device. However, here again its archaic encryption features made it hard to fine tune the right method so it took me a few hours to finally be able to use VNC under Fedora 40.

A Separation: how to control without physical violence

A separation starts with a couple about to be ripped apart, as the wife left the marital home and seeks to offer their daughter a better life, and as the father has to take care of his disabled dad and get involved in an imbroglio with another couple and their daughter.

In countries where cultural and religious pressure dictate the daily lives of people, and intrinsically the interactions between men and women where superiority of one gender over the other primes above all, one usually imagines a kind of abuse that is physically and psychologically showing. However, instead of the usual trope of fanatics wielding their justified will onto helpless women, the film shows a more subtle image of how men impact the lives of their female counterpart as their will is imposed and immutable. As the movie progresses, we spiral into the inevitable for women who, despite their efforts and cunning, cannot escape their fate as they lie in the wake of men’s selfish tyranny. But boy do we see them fight, fight to survive as well as combat the crushing layers of authoritative judiciary and executive powers, where ultimately flight to another more open country is vital. Ultimately, Mixed with the more assertive excess of strength, the strategy of subjugation highly effective through using emotions of fear and culpability.

Undersea Minerals: not the electrifying discovery thought out to be

A few weeks ago, HBO show Last Week Tonight aired an episode about deep sea mining where they exposed how companies and in particular disruptive ones such as TMC, The Metals Company, are searching the ocean floor to find rare-earth elements. Mining companies have begun to look at previously unattainable places in abysses as new potential mineral rich locations now made valuable since the increase in demand for rare-earth minerals. HBO show Last Week Tonight Researchers have found those minerals inside nodules lying on the deep ocean floor, their layout waiting for companies to just scoop them up seemingly making the industry less polluting and resolving mankind’s crisis in transitioning to greener energies. As the show displays, while these places seem barren, they are nonetheless inhabited with life and the machinery employed to displace tons of these little rock formations would undeniably destroy the environment of those organism and microorganisms and we would ultimately lose natural wealth. The company MLC had commanded an environmental study to take a look at the rate of destruction mining these locations would involve and weigh destruction to benefits.
