Few days ago was released Grub Customizer 2.5.5, the new release comes with  an improved kde menu compatibility, translation updates,  preserving quote charachter, replaced update-grub by grub-mkconfig + output_fileGrub.

If you didn`t hear before about Grub Customizer, it is “a graphical interface that allow you to configure the grub2/burg settings the easy way, this done with focus on the individual list order – without losing the dynamical behavior of grub. also it is possible to do grub2/burg recovery & configuration using a live cd, to use this option you need to install  Grub Customizer  at the live system before using it.

Larry Page is not being completely honest! The manner in which the PRISM program/project works does not need access from company administrators or owners, so called “direct access”; the access to the information is already there. These tech company CEOs take for granted the actual intelligence of most end users of their products. All it takes is a little digging and reading to go from ignorant to informed on these things especially on exactly how the internet works/functions in the U.S.A. I find Larry Page’s remarks just as laughable as Al Gore’s claim to “inventing” the internet/world wide web!

If you, as an end user, are reading this post; I challenge you to research these matters yourself. It really is quite simple with all the “information sites” that exist on the web today ie Wikipedia, & other online encyclopedias that actually list source material, as well as highly respected tech sites and blogs that also list their source material. Be warned: this is only the tip of the iceberg and these tech CEOs know and understand this; they are scrambling in attempt to perform DAMAGE CONTROL to save the company and what little trust thay have left from their products end users/consumers.

Am I a skeptic? I believe someone has to be or needs to be at this point in time! If your not just a little skeptical of the government, tech companies, and the people that are in charge of these agencies and companies; you need to be, even if just a little skeptic. For your own personal protection and security! I know I was a part of this community for over 14 years!
