controlling dissent


This law encourages IT companies to  to educate and raise awareness with  
their users about the types of content not permitted under their rules and  
community guidelines. The use of the notification system could be used as a  
tool to do this



I defend Freedom and value the right to free speech for anyone whatever his

I fear that this law will mostly target activist that fight for justice or  
try and raise public awareness

Re: [Trisquel-users] When will Trisquel 8.0 (Flidas) release?

2016-06-03 Thread dguthrie

It's made by volunteers so there is no guarantee of anything.
Something like Debian is surely more likely to keep going for years, possibly  
decades from now because it has strong support from various companies, a very  
large community and pool of users (relative to Trisquel) among academia and  
software developers. It forms the basis of many distributions so probably is  
most likely of all the distributions, along with Fedora and RHEL, to be  
around for the next few decades. Ubuntu could die easily if Canonical went  
bankrupt as it is basically snapshots of Debian unstable and a testbed for  
Canonical's projects.
Point is, none of us have to use Trisquel. We choose to because we like the  
community and want a distribution based on just free software, but we are, to  
a certain extent, flailing in the dark, trying to find our way with  
technology.
Yet we have the freedom to choose our path, and that's powerful. It's what  
makes free software great.
Yet I totally see where you are coming from. We need more direct  
participation in Trisquel's development. If not I might well pack up if  
things get really slow due to what is essentially bureaucracy.

Re: [Trisquel-users] netinstall; first timer's question

2016-06-03 Thread dguthrie
No, you don't have to edit the file. Let's imagine the following scenario. I  
run FVWM, and when FVWM is the only window manager installed, running startx  
on its own should begin FVWM. Now I want to switch to Ratpoison. I delete  
FVWM and install Ratpoison, then running startx starts Ratpoison. I believe  
it points to another file with the default Xsession or something (it's quite  
confusing in all honesty). There are several ways to start multiple  
environments. I can run startx ratpoison or startx openbox begin Ratpoison  
and OpenBox respectively (as far as I know those are correct). However it  
opens an Xterm and prints all the errors which can be annoying, especially on  
Ratpoison. So you edit the ~/.Xinitrc file to specify what startx does, for  
example this works: exec /usr bin/Ratpoison I'm not sure how ~/.Xsession  
works. Here is a forum posting about it:  
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/47359/what-is-xsession-for
You should try and look more deeply into the subject of X sessions. I am not  
very experienced with it, it's quite confusing.

Well, Google Chromebooks come close as they have Coreboot. They are also not  
locked down that much; they can be unlocked and re-flashed with upstream  
Coreboot and most support GNU/Linux reasonably well. You're also not paying  
the Windows tax which is something I suppose. Yet it hasn't led to a  
revolution of computing in freedom.
Canonical have not made in-roads selling Ubuntu-powered laptops. Perhaps they  
should partner with stores like Best Buy in the USA to promote and sell  
GNU/Linux-powered laptop and desktop computers. Who knows what might happen?  
I think they may have already tried though, and maybe the cruelties of the  
market prevented it happening.

What I mean regarding startx being problematic is that you have to specify in

If you know how I am sure it's pretty straightforward. It has been going

Definitely. In my experience, LightDM needs some tweaking but is functional

I see what you mean. But I don't see how hate speech has even a remote chance  
to be correct, anywhere, at any time.


Let me rephrase that: I don't see how "attacks on a person or group on the  
basis of attributes such as gender, ethnic origin, religion, race,  
disability, or sexual orientation" can potentially be the correct way to go,  
in any context.

I would go back to your previous link:  
https://askubuntu.com/questions/33640/kworker-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-hogging-so-much-cpu


There was a good set of instructions there, that should be relatively simple  
to carry out:
"If you find the system unusable due to excessive kworker activity, I would  
recommend trying to do fewer things. If you think you're not doing anything,  
try shutting down long-running services or timers (RSS readers, mail readers,  
file indexers, activity trackers, etc.). If this doesn't work, try  
restarting. If your system allows you to enable or disable hardware in a  
pre-boot environment, try turning off hardware you aren't using. If it  
happens on every restart before you do anything, you could try uninstalling  
things, but at this point you'll want to be running syscall profiling tools  
to track down specific applications that seem to be causing this overload."


Check your system. Are you running any email programs, RSS news readers, any  
programs like "recoll" that index files and keywords? (Run the "ps -A"  
command and look for "recoll" or "recollindex"). Any "activity tracking"  
programs?


Is there any hardware you can disable without harming the functioning of the  
way you use your system?

Well, I suppose to understand Marxism you should read the Communist  
Manifesto. When you read it, don't forget that it was written in the 19th  
century (indeed, Marx and Engels thought it needed updating, especially notes  
on literature at the time). It is quite interesting to read, and is pretty  
short. It is relatively easy to find Marx's work in stores, and many charity  
shops/second-hand book stores, but it is also public domain, for example here  
is the Communist Manifesto on Project Gutenberg:  
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/31193/31193-h/31193-h.htm (note that when Marx  
refers to the party he means a group of likeminded people, not an organised  
political organisation, like say the Green Party or the Social Democratic  
Party).
To understand libertarian socialism you could read some books by Noam  
Chomksy. A rather long introduction to this is found in How the world works  
which is a collection of Chomksy's speeches and interviews put into a more  
readable format, you can probably find it in a book store. A list of his  
works to which links are provided if there is the full text or a sample  
provided: https://chomsky.info/books/. If you go to the homepage and select  
'articles' it has them ordered by date, and most if not all of them on the  
website. Also of good note is this article, it has a link to a PDF of Powers  
and Prospects:  
http://www.openculture.com/2014/05/read-9-books-by-noam-chomsky-free-online.html  
(that website is great in general and has links to many freely available  
works of many authors, such as short stories, interviews, and video content).

The free software movement (free in bold because you seem to be legally

of speech is something rms (for instance) has a long history of advocacy.  
Also, when SOPA and PIPA came people had fear that it could become an  
instrument of censorship and even more massive surveillance. Just the same as

I'm perfectly fine with that.


Allowing unrestricted free speech is at least as dangerous as heavily

By definition, they fit free software way more than that "imaginary" EU bill.  
But let's say it does belong in the main forum for a second, because I'd like  
you to answer the other part of my statement.


I say "Imaginary" because this is the 3rd time I'm pointing out that the  
discussion revolves around nothing concrete.

Would you care to provide some actual sources?
Because I don't see the point of going on if it's a philosophical debate  
about the concept of free speech.

some cat thread some crazy troll made once, and it got moved to the troll

Can't they just install lightdm, with either unity-greeter or the  
lightdm-gtk-greeter, or even GDM?
Add the MATE development PPA as directed here:  
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-mate then do the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment lightdm unity-greeter Et voila!  
A working MATE desktop that you can start graphically, no fiddling around  
with startx (which can be problematic when you have more than one environment  
installed, as you might well end up doing).
I believe that you can set it to start automatically without having to put in  
your login credentials (that's how the LiveCD works, it skips the login step  
because there is no username/password). Text login then startx is generally  
only used for really minimal systems that might only run a window manager,  
e.g. Ratpoison, which I'm running right now to type this. You can make your  
own files that would make Ratpoison list itself in Lightdm or GDM.

hate speech is defined by the EU as including ‘incitement to hatred’,  
which is both circular and so vague as to mean almost anything.
What this means is lawyers can use this loophole to give their own  
interpretation on whats hate speech and use it on their advantage to ban  
almost anything.
That would be the legal system being used (again) for the interests of a few

Re: [Trisquel-users] EU: All your internet are belong to us

2016-06-03 Thread dguthrie
The second video is featured on the so-called "Prager University". It is  
about as reputable an 'educational institution' as Trump University, a  
pathetic commercial entity offering "business education", which is known to  
bully people into blowing all their money on worthless courses in real estate  
to get rich quick. TrumpU takes after Trump himself, it seems.
"PragerU" is run by the far-right talk-show host Dennis Prager (or at least  
is tarnished with his name), a man who likes to peddle the narrative that  
there is an attack on religious freedom, i.e. the freedom to oppress others.  
This view is exacerbated by campaigns by secular organisations to reduce the  
state funding of religion.
The video takes a similar line. It says that there are efforts to ban speech  
that is considered "hurtful" and "hateful", and the video specifially  
mentions the efforts to prevent "freedom of religion".
This is the most utter crap. For a start, it ignores the history of Europe,  
where religion (the dominant force being Christianity) has been part of the  
general oppression of freedom of expression for centuries. Look at Spain,  
with the Spanish Inquisition (and the Catholic Church's alliance with  
Franco's Fascists), and Nazi Germany's pact with the Catholic Church to  
protect itself. Look more generally at the denial of women's reproductive  
rights and rights to schooling. It is just the most stupid argument.  
"Sensitivity-based censorship" is presented with absolutely no evidence  
whatsoever. There are efforts to separate the Church and State further in  
many European countries, but religious leaders enjoy little fear of  
oppression and censorship at the hands of the state. There is healthy debate  
about the role of religion in modern times, and religious leaders are  
welcomed to express their views in throughout the media. Religion is largely  
respected, and it is declining. However, this represents Christianity, as the  
dominant religion. Islam is not widespread (although it has a wide presence)  
and in recent months has seen backlash and attacks by far-right thugs. We  
should of course not that this does not mean an attack on freedom of  
religion! People are still allowed to express themselves freely. I think that  
the emphasis on "criticism of religion" is perhaps support for Marine Le Pen  
(in the video, the words "criticism of religion" are put over France) who  
frames anti-Muslim rhetoric as "criticism of religion". There's something  
insidious about that whole video...
Now it attacks 'Political Correctness'! It's such a load of crap. This leads  
back to the issues of freedom of speech in general vs. the moderation on  
non-public forums. It's all a load of double-standards anyway. American TV  
won't allow swearing (they say 'darn it' far too much) but they are happy to  
show graphic images of dead people in far-off lands. They frame accusations  
of a general criminality among black people as polite 'analysis' of events,  
and blame illegal immigrants for undercutting the American wages.
They talk about the 'political correctness' at American colleges and  
universities, but this is generally about the supposed "suppression" of  
activities that are nationalist. That video gives several examples but does  
not give us the full story, or even links to news articles about them.
The video says that "few conservative speakers are invited to speak at  
colleges, lest they be 'disinvited' later". This is, again, a theme of this  
comment thread. There is not an attack on free speech. The conservative  
speakers could go to speak wherever will take them, voice their opinion on  
the internet, or in the conservative mass media. It is not an attack on free  
speech to no-platform someone.
As for trigger warnings, I think they can sometimes be used to the extreme,  
but often they are reasonable. For example, the comic book 'Tintin in the  
Congo' was only recently translated into English. As Tintin books are  
generally read by children, a warning was written saying that it reflected  
the society in Belgium at the time, which was supportive of the brutal  
dictatorship in Central Africa, and as a result some of the material in the  
book is shocking by today's standards. What if that warning was not included?  
It might upset some children that African people are portrayed in the fashion  
they are in the book.  The example of the trigger warning in the Great Gatsby  
perhaps goes a little too far but perhaps a note in the preface about it  
reflecting mysoginistic attitudes of the time would not be unreasonable. To  
be honest though, the fact that so much mysoginy still exists, which the  
video completely brushes over, would make it seem not particularly shocking  
in my opinion. I think there is a certain irony that the video is attacking  
trigger warnings when these are reasonable under freedom of speech... if that  
is, indeed what the video cares about, rather than the

Serving as an elector does not automatically translate as being a member of

Sanders was actually an independent having left the (socialist) Liberty Union

Carter or Nixon.


I suspect Duke's association with the KKK is always brought up by people  
because of what that organisation did in contrast to what the SWP or LUP ever  
achieved in US politics. Sanders I believe became independent due to the

I think you are banking that I didn't watch your video. I wish I didn't  
because it is a load of utter crap, but there we have it. I will tell you why  
it qualifies as hate speech.
He starts with "The Zionist media". This is to feed into his racist  
narratives of his other videos, that there is a conspiracy be Jews to take  
over the world. It was the same narrative peddled by the Nazis, and David  
Duke's other Holocaust-denying associates, such as the Ku Klux Klan, who are  
very fond of using Nazi imagery.
"The reason why the Zionists who have so much ungodly influence in the  
American media, and they've got the politicians in their back pockets, and  
they've got the big banks and the big money who controls the politicians...  
Goldman Sachs, they control the Federal Reserve, they control the World  
Bank..."
This feeds into the narrative that the Jews rule the world, are trying too,  
or are extremely close to doing so. It is simply not true. He keeps  
mentioning the "pernicious Zionist influence". It is just a load of rubbish.  
It is convenient for people like Duke to use the injustice of the Israeli  
occupation to peddle their conspiracy about Jews, but they don't, for  
instance, criticise the mass-incarceration of black people, which they  
support because they are a bunch of white supremacists, and justify violence  
and murder of these people in the past and present based on religious  
references and pseudo-scientific doctrines, the same that justified slavery  
and imperialism. Examining the video, it becomes clear that Duke probably  
doesn't care all that much about these people dying, or at least has  
convinced himself of it because he wants to justify his conspiracies about  
"Zionists". Hate speech is justification of violence and stigma. Duke wants  
to create stigma and anti-Semitism, so this qualifies as hate speech. It is  
disguised so that at first it might seem justified, but anyone watching the  
whole video can probably tell that the conclusion of the video is pretty  
outrageous and designed to forment tensions. It is thus hate speech, and I am  
pretty surprised it is still available.
It just goes to show that the ferociously-authoritarian EU is really not  
doing its job, is it?
Note, there are legitimate criticisms of Israel. It is just that this is used  
as part of his hate speech. The irony is that people like Duke say that it is  
not anti-Semetic to criticise Israel, when he is deliberately confusing the  
two issues of the State of Israel and Jewish people to justify his  
anti-Semitism.

Indeed.  The Kochs and Goldman Sachs are not interested in your liberty, 
in the meaning the word carried before it was hijacked in the insane 
dash to weaponize economics.  Conservative libertarians took a decent 
ideology (although ideologies are, after critical analysis, or, even 
more devastating, deconstruction, the ideas of dead guys, males, mostly 
dead white males. dead rich white males - I won't call them men - 
they're monster boys in adult bodies) and spun it into neoliberalism, 
so, about 36 years later, the Sixth Mass Extinction could come for our 
species any day now.  This is because this sort of libertarianism thinks 
it deserves our money, so it does the old fashioned thing and steals 
it.  The overexploitation of the life system under this harebrained 
ideology gone mad had 150 species per day going extinct a while back, 
according to Guy McPherson, an acacemic field ecologist before he headed 
back to the land, knows these things.  We're in a really dumb 
predicament.  No one ever said the aristocracy was intelligent. 
Descartes, an aristocrat, could dissect a live, unsedated dog and swear 
it felt no pain, when the scientific method of which he is remembered as 
a founder was purportedly based on observation, on objective 
observation.  That dumb crap, masquerading as thought, remains a part of 
the basis of western culture.  In the words of my friends in grad 
school, we're fucked, since we didn't stop polluting the life system and 
creating one desert after another 30 years ago like James Hansen told 
Congress we had to do.  On that happy note, I'll step away from the

one humans did not create, no better than Descartes.  Go Bernie!

It makes me think about that Voltaire quote. Wait a second:
if you want to quote Voltaire on free speech, here’s something that he did  
write once, in his 1763 Treatise on Toleration: “The supposed right of  
intolerance is absurd and barbaric. It is the right of the tiger; nay, it is  
far worse, for tigers do but tear in order to have food, while we rend each  
other for paragraphs.” That’s something probably everybody on the  
Internet could stand to think about, ourselves included.if you want to quote

On the other hand, if it's not clearly defined, it's clearly a censorship  
tool.

So, what about the actual text? How loosely defined is it, in practice?

I think you can install a minimal base system from any ISO. Just do the text  
installer and leave all desktop out. Then install X and add MATE or any other  
DE. You'll have to install all other programs one by one if they are not  
included in MATE. The usual repos are there, so it's no big deal if you are  
missing a few bits. Add them when needed. That's how I did a base system and  
added X and CDE.

You can remove unwanted/duplicate packages with Synaptic package Manager

The NetInstall will propose you eitheir a command line installation or a

2016-06-03 Thread adel

Hi,

I installed MATE [1] with Trisquel and noticed that I had a number of  
duplicate programs (eg. two different file browsers).


I can avoid duplicate programs with netinstall + MATE, right?  Are there any  
extra steps necessary for a fully functional desktop with GUI?  Will MATE  
launch automatically when I subsequently turn my computer on?


If I use netinstall+MATE, will I still have all the BASH programs (not sure  
how else to describe these) that I need to fix my computer fans [2] etc?

I think that if it is self-hosted by definition it should have its own  
repositories if it is building its own packages.
Although I think if you wanted a distribution on a shoestring you could make  
it completely source-based and just specify how things are built, rather like  
the Gentoo packages. It could still qualify that way.

Re: [Trisquel-users] EU: All your internet are belong to us

2016-06-03 Thread mnaus

Let's look at this from a different angle:

Just because a private property is located on and accessible from a public  
road, doesn't mean you can enter that property.  If you enter that property,  
that does not mean that you are free to do as you please. It is still private  
property.


For example, the entrance to my home can be accessed from a public road. If I  
let you in my house and say, "You can stay as long as you are civil", then  
you better be civil or you can leave (actually, if you are so 'uncivil' to  
the point of hate speech--you might not be able to leave my house; OK OK,  
you'll leave...but in a pine box!)


Apply this to private websites that can be reached from public roads (the  
internet). You do not have to join those websites by signing up and making a  
promise to abide by their rules.  If you do, however, why are you surprised  
they will exercise control of their own property and enforce the agreement  
you signed.


Incidentally, and this is really germane to this entire thread, here is a  
relevant part of the agreement we all signed in order to be able to post on  
these threads:


Respect among community members

Discrimination -- Do not discriminate against people based on age,  
gender, sex, sexual orientation, disability, religion, ideology, ideas,  
social class, nationality, race, intelligence, or any analogous grounds.
Profanity -- Do not curse or use hard language here. Social norms differ  
from place to place; hard language can deter people from our community.
Incivility -- Do not insult others here. Disagree and challenge ideas  
instead.


Code of conduct

The forum / mailing lists exist to foster the development and use of  
Trisquel. Non-constructive or off-topic messages, along with other abuses,  
are not welcome.

Do not send spam.
Send all of your post / e-mails in English. Only use other languages on  
forum / mailing lists where that is explicitly allowed.

Avoid sending large attachments.
Try not to flame; it is not polite.
Use common sense all the time.

These parts are decisive:

Profanity -- Do not curse or use hard language here. Social norms differ from  
place to place; hard language can deter people from our community.


Incivility -- Do not insult others here. Disagree and challenge ideas  
instead.


Based on the following, you might be able to argue that this thread should  
exist in the Troll Hole. One can make a stronger argument that it shouldn't  
exist in these forums at all:

My opinions (if anybody cares):

No *speech* should ever be outlawed (what ultimately makes disgusting speech  
stronger with the argument: "we are right; that is why they censor us") in  
the public space, Internet included: anyone should be allowed to write/say  
whatever (s)he wants on his/her *own* site/newspaper/radio or TV  
channel/etc.;

Google/Facebook/Twitter/etc. can apply, on *their* sites, any rule they want;
If those rules involve editing/removing content, then  
Google/Facebook/Twitter/etc. should be considered "editors" and be held  
responsible of anything written on their sites (like newspapers' editors);
No law should ever apply to a specific set of corporations (doing so - but  
does it? - the EU implies that Google/Facebook/Twitter/etc. are the whole Web  
and that they are in charge of its governance);
