Re: [DNG] Website changes
The contents on github are now slightly behind what we prepared for the website as the links point to the jessie torrent (I will fix that in the next push soon). Translations should be in good order aside from that.

If you’re looking for a browser that’s exceptionally good at displaying modern web-sites and keeping capitalists ‘out of your business’ try the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB), https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html . If you’re still concerned with ads and privacy, but are sticking with one of the ‘big 6,’ try the addon AdBlocker Ultimate (AU), https://adblockultimate.net/ . TBB with AU seems to be one of the better combinations to view websites as intended while maintaining your privacy.

How do you switch of keyboard layout? On the terminal you can use loadkeys XX (where XX is the selector of the natioonal language, pt for Portugese), under X11 you can use setxkbmap XX instead.

[snip the specifics] This demonstrates how good documentation in the right place can make software an order of magnitude more user friendly, without dumbing down the software. This is excellent. I have a suggestion for the ISO section mid-page on https://devuan.org/. I think it would be clearer, for the rushed reader, if you made section "ISO Guide" into an ,and moved that whole section up to the very top of current section "Get Devuan". If you don't like having a subservient section header directly below its parent section header, insert a sentence like "Before listing the download sources, a word about the different ISO images available and their uses.". I'm worried that, the way it is now, a rushed reader might click on a mirror and never see the ISO descriptions. I wish every software project were as serious about documentation as Devuan is. This addition is excellent.

Hi I've been having issues to make my keyboard accent keys work properly. I use the english language as default, but sometimes I make use of the brazilian portuguese version. If a word such as "é" is typed, the result is "´e". As if it didn't recognize the dead keys as such. I already tried selecting all available layouts without solving this. Anybody has any idea on how to fix this? ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
[DNG] IceCat
So, this is yet another limited browser that many modern web-sites find repulsive to connect to. It is clear the problem is not the browsers themselves, but economical and political. It is economical, because a browser that is heavily biased towards privacy is detrimental to advertising, especially targeted advertising. It is political because the world as a whole with globalisation, is becoming even more capitalistic. Websites that offer services completely for free do not fit in a capitalistic world. Readers can try to argue this is not 'always' the case, which need not be mentioned as it should be obvious, that there are website owners who commit themselves to offer a service for free, but this is far from being the norm, which matters most. So, privacy lovers are essentially a political minority that is trying to dictate to the majority. For the majority money comes first, and that, comes from targeted advertising. Even people who code for open source projects do it for their own gains: some do it for their CV, others do it for their research, still others do it for their business, and maybe a tiny fraction for their commitment to open source. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
