Re: [Trisquel-users] What kind of email services are you using and recommend and why?
Anyone knows Protonmail? https://protonmail.ch/ I'm not much of an expert but I've read this has been created in order to fight mass surveilance.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!
I still have to hold alt- and my system is fully up-to-date. My transparency setting isn't bugged either.
[Trisquel-users] Your opinion on publishing scripts/patches under Apache License 2.0?
I have obesrved that some hackers[2] over here are contributing scripts (in bash, java, perl, python etc.) / patches which spans only under 100 lines of code. Free Software Foundation RECOMMENDS Apache License 2.0 in such cases where the code length is less than 300 lines.[1] Your thoughts?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!
I see. cooloutac, or grinchier on IRC. I find your answer a little bit rude. Maybe I will just ignore your posts here from now on and your endless blabbering on IRC. Have a nice day.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Your opinion on publishing scripts/patches under Apache License 2.0?
I would even go further and recommend the Expat license, which is shorter than the Apache License 2.0.
Re: [Trisquel-users] RAID + LVM
Impressive.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Your opinion on publishing scripts/patches under Apache License 2.0?
The FSF recommends the Apache License because it also protects against patents. Also, note that you don't have to include a copy of the full license with the Apache License, so the actual text you have to include is shorter than the Expat License.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!
I'm the one being rude? lolYa i think thats a good ideabtw your gf looks cute.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!
well thats pretty strange i've never had to hit alt and only hear people on trisquel 6 having to do that. Its the whole reason i installed compiz in the first place to help a user on irc make his panel transparent, and I assume why a_slacker asked me how I did it in the first place. Are you on a fresh install? What video card do you have maybe? mysterious.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What kind of email services are you using and recommend and why?
Certainly if you're the public enemy number one, you are fucked. But that's way beside the point which is protecting the general public against unwarranted constant surveillance, panopticon style. We can't and on the other hand don't have to make things impossible but just painful enough to stop this current total information awareness bullshit. Every little bit helps and we should come up with a solution to get people off facebook and google.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tweak your browser to enhance security and privacy
So I went to a porn site and did the see the icon pop up briefly for the first time for a domain. But its weird, it should be popping up on alot of other sites, even with noscript and an adblock installed.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What kind of email services are you using and recommend and why?
If you send any mail to anyone in the US or EU they can get your emails, especially with their prism like technology which collects everything going on the lines, every country in europe has this, including germany. Still best to use something like pgp/gpg encryption. But even then, hypothetically speaking, if you become the most interesting man in the world, the NSA can crack either of them, and even if everyone you know was using full disk encryption, they might be able to crack some of those too with cold boots.
[Trisquel-users] Mate Panel Applets and Layouts?
Hi! I'm running the Mate desktop in Trisquel 7, and notice a couple of things: 1) the network manager applet seems to be missing. Since I connect to my home wifi connection automatically, the connection works, but I do not see a way to select networks, from a panel applet, nor can I see the connection status. There is no option, on Add To Panel, for the network manager applet. 2) Mate Tweak Tool shows only 1 possible layout. Where can I get additional ones, such as the traditional Trisquel layout? It's easier to use a single-panel Mate layout with orca. Thanks, Dave GNUSocial: https://social.mayfirst.org/davehunt/
Re: [Trisquel-users] RAID + LVM
As far as I know, those flags were used to prevent the kernel to activate mdadm while migrating from a previous raid system. See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2014-February/038095.html Ubuntu Server doesn't have those flags anymore, so I decided to remove them to see what happened.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Your opinion on publishing scripts/patches under Apache License 2.0?
If the patch or script is contributed as part of a larger work it is sort of customary to use the same license as the larger work.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What kind of email services are you using and recommend and why?
I agree.

I have the same problem with NetworkManager in XFCE. network-manager-applet is even visible as list entry in the options of the notification area, see screenshot: http://hub.vinzv.de/owncloud/index.php/s/JKsQETDRZbq8W8D vinz.
