I have looked all over the website but I cannot find instruction on how to

Re: [Trisquel-users] How does one respond to this statement?

[enduzzer]

So true. Patents stiffle innovation themselves. Patents beget patents. It's  
like trench war where patents are ammunition hoarded to counter litigation.  
It's akin to arns race. No innovative enterprise can afford entering the  
battlefield that is the marker without ammunition.

No, this is completely backwards. Incentives to invest and innovate in  
software are undermined by software patents, because they make it  
ridiculously risky to do so.


I think anyone who would make this sort of argument is either completely  
clueless about how software development works or what software patents are,  
or is actively attempting to bolster patent trolls by spreading FUD. I can't  
think of any other alternative.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Noscript installation

[onpon4]

That's not an answer to the question.

NoScript recently got (hastily) re-written to use WebExtensions, since that's  
the only API Firefox supports now. I assume the WebExtensions API NoScript  
now uses just isn't compatible with versions of Firefox prior to 56; LibreJS  
had the same problem. So you'll have to get the old version of NoScript:

Re: [Trisquel-users] How does one respond to this statement?

[masonhock]

Patents stifle innovation by preventing one from building on the work of  
others. It is inefficient to have to repeat work just because a component of  
your project is NIH.


The government should break up monopolies. Patents allow it to grant them  
instead. This incentivizes companies to pursue frivolous patents to hinder  
their competitors instead of coming up with new ideas.


"But how will developers make money?" I reject the assumption that coercive  
acquisition of wealth is the only motivation for innovation. Plenty of free  
software projects rely on volunteers and donations. Without software patents  
and proprietary licenses, they would be able to achieve even more because  
they would spend less time performing redundant work. However, even if we  
pretend that software cannot be created without a profitable business model,  
Red Hat proves that patents and proprietary licenses are unnecessary in order  
to profit from software development.


"But what if I have an idea that I can't realize without funding?"  
Crowdfunding or a Red-Hat-like business model can solve this problem without  
the disadvantages of antisocial software patents.


Software patents reward companies who can afford a large team of lawyers and  
punish potential innovators who have to rely on the strength of their ideas  
alone. They don't magically make people more imaginative.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How does one respond to this statement?

[leestrobel]

For me, the key fallacy here is the mistaken belief that 'software is the  
consequence of substantial risk-taking and investment on the part of firms'.  
Software doesn't have to be that way. Free software is the consequence of  
many people working together voluntarily, as part of a community movement,  
with no interaction at all with large firms. Anyone with a computer can pick  
up a keyboard and write some software - possibly contribute to a larger free  
software project.


The GNU/Linux operating system and most of the packages that comprise it are  
manifest counter-examples that disprove their point, that software patents  
are essential for software development (e.g. Firefox, X11, GNOME, LibreOffice  
...).

Re: [Trisquel-users] How does one respond to this statement?

[ablocorrea]

Adding to what Salman said, that explains why patenting programs is not  
generally allowed in the EU, it is still allowed to patent computer related  
stuff, like mp3 was for a long time or the rar algorithm ¿is right now?


Maybe those computer related patents could make sense if they lasted for a  
much shorter period than now.


You might thing that a car company needs 20 years to find a decent profit  
from another 10 investment in the development of a new engine, but claiming  
such with computers is just ridiculous. The profit will largely overcome the  
spends in less than a couple of years, having in mind that no company will  
spend as much time developing patentable stuff as car or the "general"  
industry spend.


To show that it is possible to get a profit, you can always refer to RedHat:

Re: [Trisquel-users] Quantum kicks ass

I think the fact it has the "Recommended by Pocket" section on the new tab by

seem to be tailored to my interests (which makes me wonder how they got this  
information in the first place). I know you can easily disable it but the  
fact that it is there in the first place by default really annoys me.


Also the fact that a lot of security-related addons are no longer supported

Riseup does any bug fixing or feature implementation, I hope they're doing it  
upstream or they publish their modified version of Roundcube.


I've had a quick look at ProtonMail and it seems to have free JavaScript  
client code. I believe we can get a copy of that Expat-licensed code by  
running:


git clone https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClient.git

I'm not sure if they've released the backend software. Probably not.

(Also, ProtonMail seems to want to provide IMAP/SMTP for desktop clients, but

All I've had time to do is install it, but noscript, privacy badger,

When I tried to start from scratch with an earlier version of Firefox
while distrohopping, I discovered the unpleasant reality that the
plug-ins for older versions of Firefox are no longer available, at least
from Mozilla.

That's probably no surprise to a lot of you, but if any of you are
inconvenienced by that, I believe I still have a profile with noscript,
privacy badger, etc. installed and no personally identifiable
information. I probably shouldn't share that with random strangers
online, but if you drop me a private email and you're a regular(ish) on

Re: [Trisquel-users] Technoethical T400s now available

[masonhock]

Have Protonmail made their webmail usable without proprietary JavaScript  
and/or added IMAP support so that webmail is unnecessary? I looked into using  
them a few months ago, and while they seemed great in terms of privacy their  
service was unfortunately incompatible with software freedom.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Technoethical T400s now available

[info]

You need to solder the wires on the BIOS chip pins (which is found between  
the RAM slots and the full-sized mPCIe slot, under the black protection  
foil). These pins are very tiny and the most fragile, especially the CS (Chip  
Select pin), and the GND (Ground) pin is particularly difficult to solder on,  
but besides these considerations, they are flash pins. The wires will be  
soldered on the pins of the BIOS flash chip.


The T400s is nothing like the T400, structure-wise. The board has the  
components differently arranged, the screw's positions are different, both  
RAM modules and both mPCIe slots are easily accessible from the back side of  
the laptop. The '4' in the model name "T400s" is only because the screen size  
is 14 inch (with LED-backlight and 1440x900 resolution). The T4*0s series are  
very different than their T4*0 counterparts. If you want to make a  
comparison, it's safer to make it with the X2*0 series.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Technoethical T400s now available

Can you show where it needs to be soldered?  Theres no way you can use a  
pomona clip like on the t400? I would say im decent at soldering - not great.


And besides the soldering, is it bascially the same as a t400?

I did mark it as "not spam", and its funny you mention switching emails - I  
finally just switched to protonmail.  I havent totally switched everything  
over - which is why I used gmail by mistake on this account.


Thanks again.  

Re: [Trisquel-users] Technoethical T400s now available

[info]

The T400s requires soldering, and you need more experience with it than  
soldering on the X200s and the X200T chips. The T400, T500 and X200 don't  
require soldering (clips are already available).


To enable communication that has been broken by Gmail, you can "mark as not  
spam" my reply to your enquiry.


Off-topic:

I guess many spam e-mails start with "enquiry", but you shouldn't let your  
e-mail provider decide what's spam and what not. Best would be to self-host  
your mailbox (a BeagleBoneBlack board should do the job fine), the second  
option would be to choose a different, more ethical e-mail provider like  
Riseup, ProtonMail or OpenMailBox. I haven't used them myself, but I've read  
good reviews about them from the free software community.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Global Value Chains and the Missing Exports of the United States

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

This "almost invisble" value associated with things that come from
people's knowledge and information is indeed a new thing that most
financial statistics tend to miss.

There's a term called "intellectual capital" that is used to describe
the discrepancy found when subtracting "tangible asset values" from the
"business' value in the market". Personally speaking, I tend to take
speeches and articles which talk about "intellectual capital" with a
grain of salt because most of these either:

- fail to address the urgent need for sustainability (with all the
  pillars taken as important, not just the ecological/environmental
  one), even if it means slowing down growth, taking steps back or
  slowing the "progress". The lack of observation of the other pillars
  also means that they fail to understand the importance of free/libre
  software *philosophy*;

- use the term "intellectual property" to join completely distinct
  concepts (copyright, trademarks, patents, non-disclosure agreements
  and other things);

- mention variations of "to competete" verb and of "competitive
  advantage", which don't have solid origins (sarcasm: thank you very
  much Porterism) ([1]);

- make use of a misinterpretation of Darwin's work to justify that the
  human being was already born to compete and so social and economic
  life must also mimic this. This misinterpretation is known as
  social/economic Darwinism. It must be noted however that the term is
  *not* related to Darwin's work, nor it's original idea --- of
  collaboration and rational thinking. It's related to a
  *misinterpretation* --- which fosters competition ([2]);

- ignore at least one of UNESCO's report ([3]);

- dismiss the capabilities theory/approach of political philosophy and
  one of the essential capabilities: the need for the end-user/consumer
  to have full control of his environment and the related materials
  ([4][5][6]);

- and with all the previous points, so fail to understand or mention the
  importance of free/libre software philosophy and how it prevents the
  tragedy of the anticommons ([7][8][3][9]).

I haven't tried Firefox Quantum myself yet, but I will report back if/when I  
do.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Free-software-compatible oEmbed service for videos?

[leestrobel]

I spoke to one of the guys at Disroot about this and he recommended uploading  
the video to their cloud service (cloud.disroot.org). You can't embed it into  
Diaspora from there, but you can share a link to family and friends that  
allows them to play it in their browser, which seemed to work well.


I highly recommend Disroot - it's a great service with some awesome features.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trouble Getting Trisquel 8 to install in UEFI Mode

[ablocorrea]

Good thing about Fedora is that the have a freedom policy concerning that  
everything that is in their repositories is free, although their kernel has  
lots of bloobs.


If I were you, I would give trisquel 8's installer a try once you have grub  
installed from Fedora. I am still pending to write a script to be able to  
update my grub configuration from Trisquel without the need of logging into  
Fedora everytime I update the kernel, as grub is not functional in my  
Trisquel. Just let me know if you decide to follow this path, so I  can post  
it here. Probably it will be done before the end of the week.


Cheers.

Well, in this case, the suggestions given by Magic Banana work well
together with mine. ;)

The extra line that you said gets inserted is because you forgot `-n',
if you absolutely don't want `-n', then remove the `p' flag from the `s'
command.

[Trisquel-users] Noscript installation

[stone]

Hello,

I cannot install Noscript.

I go to the Add-On Manager to install the NoScript Security Suite and allow  
the installation, but Abroswer tells me NoScript is not compatible with  
Abrowser 56.0 and Icecat tells me NoScript is not compatible with Icecat  
52.3.0.


Any suggestion?

Thanks!
