[Trisquel-users] Because of Trisquel 7, I have abandoned Google for DuckDuckGo, its default search.

Unlike Google, it doesn't collect your data, and it is mostly open source.   
And even better, DuckDuckGo is rapidly growing!

Re: [Trisquel-users] an observation about YouTube

IE would have to support full screen for the JavaScript video player to take  
advantage of it?  I know almost nothing about coding so I'll defer to your  
guess.  It also seems most likely because it would be pretty bold of  
YouTube/Google to cut out Microsoft, right?


Re: [Trisquel-users] an observation about YouTube

If you're right, is YouTube's decision contrary to net neutrality?  They're  
not throttling by speed; they're throttling features.  This is assuming that  
there isn't some other explanation, of course.


Net Neutrality:

"the idea, principle, or requirement that Internet service providers should  
or must treat all Internet data as the same regardless of its kind, source,  
or destination"

I think that it's worth having this kind of discussion.

I didn't ask for help to use YouTube, IE, etc.  I just wanted to talk about  
whether Youtube/Google might give its web browser preferential treatment via  
YouTube.  And what the boundaries are, if there are any here.

Would someone kind enough to clarify me cpu upgrades in 3 libreboot laptops:  
X60S (with S, it´s my model) , X200 and T400.
I suppose that X200 and T400 can be upgrade to Intel® Core2 Duo Processor

Any problem with microcode or anything ?

Not just xfce, gnome and many other packages is broken by default in trisquel  
8.0, because fildas repository is not complete, so you should download  
missing packages manually , some times you should download more than 20  
packages( I hope Trisquel team will fix this problem )

[Trisquel-users] Does the news about the LTS Kernel Provide advantages for Trisquel?

2017-10-04 Thread dhood
I saw this article stating that the Linux LTS kernel will go from two years  
of support to six, how does this help/change things for Trisquel? Will there  
be any impact at all?


The article:
https://fossbytes.com/linux-kernel-lts-releases-6-years-support/ 


Re: [Trisquel-users] Should I refuse to buy from Technoethical?

2017-10-04 Thread dhood

Hi Time4Tea,

For me it is a balancing act. I didn't have a free system to begin with (like  
most people) and as I said I use my system every day for personal and work  
purposes; I don't buy or use systems just to tinker with. My system needs to  
be stable, it needs to work, it needs to be complete, and needs to be well  
supported by a stable community. My goal is to use only free systems, but  
until free systems can meet those four basic needs I don't see them as an  
option and I am not willing to undermine those needs to get there.


The issue here is that I do not believe the Libreboot/Minifree/Technoethical  
community is stable and could implode at any time. I am not willing to gamble  
with my every day tools in the name of software freedom. I will take steps  
though. I use Trisquel, I have an X200 as my primary computer, and should  
Libreboot take the steps needed to show me it isn't an unstable one person  
show where that leader can't seem to not start fires online I will dive in,  
not a minute sooner.


With Libreboot I am looking to see if 1) It rejoins GNU, and 2) The larger  
management team holds for a period of time with no drama and with growth.  
Just being endorsed by the FSF doesn't do it for me, it did before the  
kerfuffle, but now I need to see additional steps. Again, I had a non-free  
BIOS before so nothing has appreciatively changed for me. Libreboot, or  
possibly a fork of it is a potentially exciting upgrade path I am watching. I  
bought my x200 with Libreboot in mind, the kerfuffle caused me to take a wait  
and see approach. I received my x200 the day Libreboot announced it was  
pulling out of GNU for context.


With Minifree/Technoethical I am unlikely to support them at all. I am  
unimpressed with the immature leadership of both places. Neither company  
sells anything that is so unique that I can't get it elsewhere from a more  
professionally run outlet or simply do it myself. I make these votes with my  
wallet every day, it is normal marketplace behavior.


I hope this helps to clarify my position for you, Be well.

Not exactly, it's a problem of misunderstanding of how JS is supposed to
be freed/liberated, and also a misunderstanding of what are DOM/HTML/JS
event handlers/listeners. Happens with most web designers nowadays.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Uh oh - ArchiveOS listed Trisquel

2017-10-04 Thread Adonay Felipe Nogueira
* About Uruk and Trisquel

I agree, perhaps Uruk should rejoin. I don't know the real internals of
Uruk, but if it also has means for providing translations for stuff that
Trisquel's upstream doesn't have (Ubuntu), then as was stated here in
this forum multiple times: the upstream must be improved, not Trisquel,
in order to provide these translations. Remember, one can contribute to
*free/libre* parts of non-free/libre software *if* a *free/libre*
derivation/adaptation already benefits from free/libre part. However,
this doesn't mean we must recommend the non-free/libre software to the
general public.

* About Debian, Ubuntu and Trisquel (and also gNewSense)

If I remember correctly, back when Trisquel (and gNewSense) started, and
also still today, Debian (and Ubuntu) have/had different goals, not
related to the essential freedoms of the software.

* GuixSD vs. Guix

GuixSD is a system distribution (see the "SD" in the name), but it's not
"the" FSF's. The GNU Guix package manager (no "SD") is part of the GNU
project, but not a system distribution.

Just to make it clear: You can hire a computer technician to do so, I

Also, it's perhaps possible to buy an external device that connects to

In the me_cleaner github wiki there is a lot of documentation. I applied the  
latest version of the tool that uses this finding:


https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/wiki/HAP-AltMeDisable-bit
http://blog.ptsecurity.com/2017/08/disabling-intel-me.html

and in the latest iteration the intel me was disabled as documented by  
Positive Technologies and the partitions of the ME were almost all erased  
(left BUP and ROMP).

I think that this is the way to go for the latest hardware.

I hope libreboot will support this.

Here the message from the intelmetool  after disabling the ME:
