Indeed. > If non-free art is in the free repos or not makes a minor difference. > As long as there is no nonfree _software_ in it.. One important thing to realize, as Calinou pointed out, is that a lot of games' "data" is actually software. Just to give a few examples: - SuperTux's levels can have Lua scripts embedded into them. - Naev has Lua scripts all over its "data" (including missions and events, which are entirely Lua code). - ReTux's "data" includes "timelines", which are sequences of instructions in a specialized mini-language. In the next version (which is coming out soon), it supports basic "if" statements and even supports directly executing Python code, because I've found that trying to prevent these from being programs is futile. - Frogatto's "data" includes a bunch of programs of some type in it's "cfg" files (though I don't know what language it is). - Ren'Py games' "data" include Ren'Py scripts, which are (from my understanding) a superset of Python code. - All point-and-click adventure games (like Flight of the Amazon Queen and Beneath a Steel Sky) include scripts (programs) by necessity, in various languages.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is foxyproxy libre?
This is perhaps because, either the developers or packagers, don't make
a distinction between functional and non-functional data.
I personally think that functional data should have terms like
"font-${font_name}", "${package_name}-doc", "${package_name}-dev",
"${package_name}-mod-${modification_name}",
"${package_name}-addon-${addon_name}",
"${package_name}-${extension_name}",
"${package_name}-plugin-${plugin_name}", "${package_name}-engine" (if
the package needs third party non-functional data to work, but it should
not depend/recommend/suggest non-shareable non-functional data) or
"${package_name}" if it's the main program.
As for non-functional data, I think it should have names like "-models"
(I'm not sure, but I leave this here if 3D models are considered
non-functional data), "-levels" (id. "-models"),
"${package_name}-sounds", "${package_name}-musics", and
"${package_name}-graphics".
If I missed some particular case, please let me know.
Note however, that I didn't use "${package_name}-data" as I find it too
misleading.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Is foxyproxy libre?
It's not because of packagers that this happens, it's because of us game developers. Mostly because making a strong separation between software and non-functional data can sometimes be very difficult or lead to esoteric designs.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Make Mupen64 work faster
I'm not talking about a MMORPG, I'm talking about "Bill's PC"==Cloud Storage for Pokemon and if you have your own private server, you use your own cloud to store your Pokemon. But, yeah, they could make an engine that "just so happens to be compatible with Pokemon Roms". Be it with a rom scan or an importer that converts the blob assets in the rom to something that's compatible with the Free Engine or whatever and I guess you could use that engine to make a non-pokemon clone. It could be like a DnD clone. There's already a pokemon clone, but it's not free. https://steamcommunity.com/app/308520/discussions/0/618457398956473202/ Another good idea would be replacement sprites or midi mod for the original non-free content.

Where did you get $1500 from? The price isn't set in stone yet because development isn't finished, but this post suggests it's probably going to be around 500 Euro: https://boards.openpandora.org/topic/15724-how-to-calculate-a-price-for-the-pyra/ At the current exchange rate, that's about $540, a lot less than $1500!

[Trisquel-users] Laptop shuts down after waking up from suspend

Starting just yesterday, I noticed that whenever I suspend my system, the laptop restarts after I try to wake it up.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Make Mupen64 work faster
That's pretty awesome! I hope nintendo doesn't descend from them like locust and they probably would especially since the assets are in the repo. A better free implementation would be if it was ported to C++/SDL2 and it was free/contrib where it would point to address points in a rom (ideally ripped from a retrode) or a homebrew "Lebrémon" game where you "Gotta free 'em all". Instead of "Bill's PC", you could put it on "Red's Private Server" because there is no cloud, only somebody else' Computer.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Personal Digital Assistant
I wish the Pyra would take off. I hate smartphones and I would rather have a class of mobile computing that's dead in the consumer market, a UMPC, but I don't think they can enough people willing to spend $1,500 for a dual core machine just because it's a fully open modular platform with a physical keyboard that's the size of a gameboy. It's $1,500 for the prototypes because they can't find enough people willing to spend $1,000 on it because it's such a niche product. (and the designer isn't planning on making much money on it, only a 5% margin. I think it's niche not because people don't want it, but because people want a powerful phone and don't want to pay for it so they have a contract subsidize it. Also, the market doesn't know there's a viable interest for slider phones, they haven't been selling well because the ones left had crap specs or have the narrow keyboard. But $1,500 sounds like a lot for a Pyra, (and it is) but the way it's designed, it would last me 5 years and $1,500/60 months==$25 per month. I think the creator needs to do something like a patreon and use each individual's contributions as their personal credit towards a Pyra.
[Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 asks twice for user password
During startup, Trisquel 7 has normally been asking for my user password, but today it started asking for my password _twice_, once right after the Plymouth screen passes to my wallpaper, and again after I enter my password, followed by a grey screen, and then my wallpaper again, whereupon it asks for my password once more. I have not tried to go past the second request, as I do not know what I am authenticating at that stage. Any ideas ? The following two kernels exhibit this behavior: Linux-Libre 3.13.0-67-lowlatency and Linux-Libre 3.13.0-66-lowlatency Linux-Libre 3.13.0-65-lowlatency behaves normally.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is foxyproxy libre?
Actually, I would try to simplify things a little more:
* "${package_name}-${addon/extension/mod/plugin_name}" (considering only the
scripts and executables)
*
"${package_name}-${addon/extension/mod/plugin_name}-(graphics|models|musics|sunds)"
(for non-functional data related to the above)
* And of course, the corresponding "-dev", "-doc", "-engine", "-help" (that
is available for viewing through the "Help" menu of a program), "-locale",
"-src", both for "${package_name}" and for the previous three items above.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 asks twice for user password
Just now I tried a couple of restarts, looking for messages during shutdown, and the double password request vanished. I had not asked for any software update/upgrades, however, so the behavior hasn't repeated. I was puzzled by the fact that the previous kernel, Linux-Libre 3.13.0-66-lowlatency, showed the same behavior this morning, as it had not done so previously.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Make Mupen64 work faster
I don't think Nintendo has developed a Pokemon MMORPG, so it would actually be very significant if someone were to develop something like that (obviously not including any Pokemon characters, but using original monsters) and make it libre. I suspect such a game done right, before Nintendo decides of its own volition to release a Pokemon MMORPG, could make a huge impact.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What DE do you prefer for Trisquel 8?
It's based on Gnome. I'd have to say, the Manjaro implementation looks amazing! It looks like what Windows 10 should have been.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 asks twice for user password
Maddening. Does it randomly whichever kernel I choose from the Grub menu. Sometimes three starts in a row. I just tried it on Linux-Libre 3.13.0-59-lowlatency. Same random behavior. Must be some app that I installed yesterday; all from the Trisquel repository by apt-get install. Something that needs to be run with authentication that's in the startup menu ? I'll look in BUM.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What DE do you prefer for Trisquel 8?
I wouldn't say the best options in that case because battery life is outweighted by many other functionalities for beginners/newcomers. But if you're interested in battery life without going for the tiled window managers, Openbox+dzen2 is an even less demanding combo.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What DE do you prefer for Trisquel 8?
Yep, I'd say that's accurate. I'd also say it's accurate that if it runs Windows XP, it can run MATE.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Make Mupen64 work faster
Yeah, but there are legal issues with sharing copyright & trademarked content content like the music notes, wave tables, images, dialogue, in-game scripting, etc. I've looked at the github page and except for the wave tables, (of which I couldn't find) it's all in there. Like I said, a more legal way to do it would to be to design a rom importer where it scans the rom for the asset files in that binary blob and converts it to something else like a bitmap spritesheet, midi files, wave pcm files and lua scripting.

Re: [Trisquel-users] asus/kfsn4-dre libreboot
Thanks for posting those details. Also all roms is executed on GPU and i think this is not security hole, but if i have free vbios i will use it. I agree with RMS in that firmware like this stored on ROMs or burned-in microcode inside a CPU shall be considered hardware rather than software. The particular ethical issues related to software therefore do not apply to them. That, however, does not make malicious hardware good. We simply need to reject hardware-implemented anti-features on other grounds than the four software freedoms. I'm not saying that your Nvidia card is malicious (I don't know) but just wanted to make this point on hardware and software.
[Trisquel-users] Abrowser Add-ons Lisit: Please update VimFx

Jaded is right - I ran it on an absolutely crappy atom with 1gb ram (full ISO, not mini).

I installed Trisquel fallback and it ran flawlessly. Laptops from 2005 can run it just as good if not better.
