[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Do DRM free games matter even if the game is non-free?
"Should it not be an individual's freedom of choice to choose what the fuck they run on their machine?" I never argued against that, you got me wrong. I don't think that the way Chris is doing his business is wrong, and i don't think that Debian does something wrong. I just say that it's pretty alike and I didn't like Chris's "we shall not even speak about anything proprietary" comment while making compromises themselves. I also don't like the negative attitude in this forum towards debian while at the same time everybody is fine with chris' doing.
[Trisquel-users] System lag writing on SSD with LUKS
Writing more than 1 GiB or so, of random data or regular files on an SSD results in system lag. The partitioning is xfs inside of LUKS. Any idea would be welcomed.

[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Do DRM free games matter even if the game is non-free?
"Why not?" I don't know, but I can't think of any developer studio that succeeded that way. You think maybe it's because people don't really try, but i doubt it. "With the same (wrong) argument, you could state that free software will never penetrate the server market. Wait..." You're comparing apples with bananas here ;) The os that got so popular for running on servers was developed over decades and is a collective effort of countless volunteers. It's also based on the lucky fact that somebody like rms developed the GNU system and released it under a free software license. He wrote a free operating system that was able to compete with other ones available at that time. If a second rms would come along and write a free game engine that is as powerful as modern game engines and make it as easy to make a great game based on it just as it is to make a great distribution based on GNU, then i would not doubt that free software would soon penetrate the game market. But that's very unlikely to happen.

No
[Trisquel-users] Re : Do DRM free games matter even if the game is non-free?
I don't know, but I can't think of any developer studio that succeeded that way. I gave the extreme example of Chris Roberts' Star Citizen. t3g gave the example of Shenmue 3. Those are not free software games but, again, I see no reason why players would donate less to games that respect their freedoms. Anyway, making money is no justification to preventing people for non-commercially sharing a game or making the software the software a blackbox that potentially harms the gamer (DRMs are common in modern games), where the bugs cannot be freely corrected, where modifications (such as mods) cannot be made, etc. Those are fundamental freedoms. And besides crowd funding, there are other ways the society could come up with to encourage the creation of games. Like a (compulsory) tax on Internet connections where the user would decide where her tax money goes (à la flattr).
[Trisquel-users] Re : Do DRM free games matter even if the game is non-free?
1. What is the limit? At some point, people will not be able to pay for the freedoms they deserve. Like jxself wrote, it is "a slippery slope". That is the reason for Sect. 6 of the GPLv3: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html#section6 2. It is not right to forbid players to non-commercially share their games (including artworks). It is not right to forbid anyone to non-commercially share anything!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Google Chrome For Trisquel
Chrome is proprietary and therefore, at a minimum, is a security threat for you. Chromium isn't much better either: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/List_of_software_that_does_not_respect_the_Free_System_Distribution_Guidelines#chromium-browser
Re: [Trisquel-users] What games do you play on your computers
Hi, I love playing games. But I have a problem, some game runs with low fps like Nexuiz, cuz fully libre systems just not enough for playing some games. My fully libre laptops are Macbooks 2,1. So, for play some games I must to use my not fully libre systems like: i5 3570k 4000hd, i7 3840QM 4000hd. Here no libre BIOS/UEFI/EFI and all backdoored CPUs.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Do DRM free games matter even if the game is non-free?
You indeed need to show something (like past projects people liked) to have a successful crowd funding. But, again, every studio starts small. Independent games are getting stronger and stronger (I have heard of Braid, Super Meat Boy, Binding of Isaac, Hotline Miami, ... or even 2048, which is free software), many players seem to enjoy testing games made in the so called game jams (creation in 24-72 hours of a game respecting a theme). Their respective authors could certainly crowd-fund more and more costly/sophisticated games until reaching the fame of Chris Roberts who raises $89 million for Star Citizen.

[Trisquel-users] Nautilus will add native support for Google Drive and require an opt-out. Thoughts?
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/09/gnome-3-18-google-drive-nautilus-support Something to keep an eye on with Trisquel 8. That is if you still use the Gnome stack instead of Nemo (Cinnamon) or Caja (MATE) for your file manager.
[Trisquel-users] Re : MacBook 1,1 to Libreboot in software way
60Hz must be the refresh frequency of your screen. It is the limiting factor in this case. But, yes, you only want an Intel graphical chipset (before the Skylake microarchitecture). Linux-libre (hence Trisquel) perfectly supports those chipsets.
Re: [Trisquel-users] MacBook 1,1 to Libreboot in software way
theres a decent gpu here: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/geforce-8400gs-1gb-pci-express-20-video-card-gnulinux-full-low-profile-brackets also if you rely need graphical performance i think as the board can support a 32 core cpu(2x hex core) you may not need a external gpu obviously most people wont be getting a 32 core cpu but even a good dual core cpu with a gpu like the one from thinkpenguin would be fine for just about any graphical program i can think off it might not run a 600 fps but still
[Trisquel-users] Re : MacBook 1,1 to Libreboot in software way
Right.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Re : Wi-Fi and Hybrid graphics
Sorry. I believe that installing a single piece of non-free firmware is a lesser evil than wasting raw materials by getting rid of hardware. Ecological devastation is (for me, at least) a greater issue than that of software freedom.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Nautilus will add native support for Google Drive and require an opt-out. Thoughts?
Google Drive isn't SaaSS. It's online storage. As long as Nautilus is using libre software to access it, and it looks like it is, there's nothing unethical about it. You should encrypt any files you put on there, though. And please, don't refer to this as requiring an "opt-out". Nautilus isn't going to in any way use Google Drive without your action. It's just going to enable you to use it like a USB drive if you give GNOME access to your Google account. I and probably many others don't have Google accounts, so this will not even affect most of us. And the few who are affected are only affected positively.
[Trisquel-users] Microsoft Officially Announces VP9 Support In Edge. Opus may be coming soon

Re: [Trisquel-users] System lag writing on SSD with LUKS
Hello. Buy an HDD. That's the best you can do. SSDs are not what they say they are. The root for marketing, politics, etc. is to convince; to lie, in other words. SSDs are not well prepared for writing but for access and above all for CACHE. I think of 2 options: 1- SSD has the OS and you can put the /home in the HDD. Use ext4 without journaling in the SSD and u can use xfs or ext4 in the HDD. The system will be boost with this. 2- It may be that your installation was "craped" and you need to reinstall (never heard of this on linux but I know it happened in sum Windows PCs but the rate is nothing). It may be due to the cache for the SSD stuff is broken or something. Anyways, some questions: a) Which kernel version r u using? b) hOW MANY FILES ARE THOSE 1GB? And directories? c) R u copying from where to where? d) You should check your cables. It may be that. If it is a cables issue, it is for sure the power conector (molex). But try replacing both (on every Disk that is beeing used for your copying) e) Please, post the components of your PC/NB and don't forget to mention the power suppley model number.

[Trisquel-users] Recommend me software for screen recording
Greetigns ladies and gentlemen: I've used recordmydesktop to make a tutorial; it works well but it encodes in ogv. It shouldn't be a problem but kdenlive and openshot video editors don't work well with ogv and the Pitivi version in Trisquel is extremely unstable and it is imposible to work with it. Suggestions please.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Recommend me software for screen recording
Recordmydesktop ? Kazam?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Recommend me software for screen recording
I will try kazam. It seems to be able to record on avi and I think it is compatible with every video editor.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What games do you play on your computers
I play Tile World. It’s available in Trisquel’s repositories. You move the character with the arrow keys. The objective is to reach the goal of each level. Doing so involves finding your way through mazes, dodging monsters and solving puzzles. Each level consists of a grid of 32×32 tiles. There is a fixed set of different tiles, all with different characteristics. Many people have made their own levels and shared them online.

Re: [Trisquel-users] System lag writing on SSD with LUKS
Can be encrypted? I am with a "NO NAME" chinese ssd and no problem.
Re: [Trisquel-users] System lag writing on SSD with LUKS
I also have and HDD which works surprisingly good considering it's 5400RPM. To answer your questions: a) 3.13.0-52-lowlatency b) As little as 2 files totalling 2,2 GiB, the first is written very fast and when in starts with the other there is a delay accompanied by intermittent system freezes until the operation is over. c) I'm copying from HDD to SSD (/home and also root). d) There aren't many cables to my disposal from what I'm aware. e) The system is a HP ProBook 430 G2 with the SSD on the M2 slot (Adata SSD Premier Pro SP900 128GB M.2). After I enabled discard in crypttab and grub I see slight improvement but the problem persist. Also, I noticed similar behaviour when writing to usb stick (first file is written fast and at the second is a short delay), but there is no system freeze because the OS is not there probably.
