Re: [Trisquel-users] Brave and Epic Privacy as alternative browsers for Trisquel 8
Well, I have had rare occasions when using Abrowser a page would not open, but Tor Browser did. SO I think it's not related to DRM or non-free stuff, but maybe some kind of rare JS code that Abrowser doesn't understand (it never seemed to block JS just failed to load the page after several minutes of trying). Tor Browser just blocks all JS by default and so opened the sites with no problem. However, apart from Tor Browser (90% of the time) I only use Abrowser just fine and don't recommend any other browsers. Oh and IceCat too! I use that sometimes and really enjoy it, but not for general use. Yeah, I am a Firefox kinda guy, with Tor Browser, Abrowser and Icecat all being basically based on it :P

Brave probably needs a bit of work. Its default plugins are questionable...
[Trisquel-users] Bluethooth speakers - How and Should I?
Hey guys, A friend gave me a bluetooth speaker and I wanted to use it with my Librebooted T400 running Trisquel 8. I notice the light indicator of bluetooth is always on in the T400 display, but I don't know which software should I install to detect and use the speaker. Also, I wonder if a device such as this could use it's connection to the computer to inject some kind attack? I know that when connected to a smartphone it has keys to change to next music on youtube and such. Is it safe to use these devices? Thanks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 preloaded software
> where (link) can I find the list of preloaded software of Trisquel 8? The most reliable way to see what software is already installed on your system is to open Synaptic Package Manager. This will show you every package installed and allow you to add/remove packages. You can also go to Add/Remove Applications for a more simplified list of programs that only includes graphical applications and excludes things like libraries, but this list will not be as complete as that in Synaptic. > This to avoid downloading a software once again, if this software is > already installed in the new Trisquel 8 version. This isn't really something to worry about when installing software from the Trisquel repository. If the package is already installed, the package manager will just upgrade the package if there is an upgrade available, or it will do nothing if there is no upgrade available. I recommend reading this page https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-software-installation-trisquel-different-windows for some general information on how package management works in Trisquel, and reading this page https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-updating-and-removing-software for a guide on how to use Synaptic Package Manager and Add/Remove Applications. > New in town Welcome. :) signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Brave and Epic Privacy as alternative browsers for Trisquel 8
> www.epicbrwoser.com. This is proprietary software, so it will never be included in Trisquel. I'm also skeptical of claims that it is privacy-respecting. Without the freedom to study the software, we only have the company's word that the browser is not malware, and the privacy features advertised, (private browsing by default, removal of Google tracking from Chromium, proxied search) all seem to be things that you can have in a free browser, so there is no reason to give up your freedom to get these things. > www.brave.com This is apparently free software judging by the license (though it might have other freedom issues like DRM), so in that way it is better than Epic Browser. However, the Basic Attention Token integration is not something I expect everyone to want in their browser, and I don't see how it is particularly privacy focused. It does block third-party ads that might track the user, but you can install an adblocker in Abrowser to do the same thing, and Abrowser won't replace these ads with local ones. > If, for any reason, the preloaded Trisquel 8 Abrowser doesn't work, I use > an alternative browser to surf the Internet. I find that whenever a site doesn't work in Abrowser, it's usually because either (a) Abrowser's privacy settings block something that the page is trying to do, or (b) the site requires support for DRM. If such a site works in another browser, that might not necessarily be a good thing. Can you give some examples of sites that don't work in Abrowser? signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[Trisquel-users] Brave and Epic Privacy as alternative browsers for Trisquel 8
Hello, as alternative browser for Trisquel 8 I suggest www.brave.com and www.epicbrwoser.com. If, for any reason, the preloaded Trisquel 8 Abrowser doesn't work, I use an alternative browser to surf the Internet. Do you know or have you already used these privacy-oriented browsers? What is your opinion about the Brave and Epic Privacy browsers for Trisquel 8? Thank you and... Happy New Year!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Insert a character without typing it - Command Line *nix
Yes! I did it! This does the job: $ eval cat $(echo -e '\076') test_file I remember reading about eval just a few days ago, and the role it play in a security bug in bash, because they where using eval a lot in the code and that ended up with file names or strings executed as code. Just exactly what i want.
