Re: [Trisquel-users] Pretty new..
> It's got: 2x Genuine Intel(R) CPU 2140 @ 1.60GHz 1600,00MHz I believe the “2x” says the processor has two cores. (This means it's better at doing two things at once.) The model appears to be Pentium, which shouldn't fall behind Celeron, as far as I know. It looks fine to me. The rest should suffice as well, but like Magic Banana wrote, more RAM might improve your experience, as many programs nowadays consume a lot of memory. Trisquel should work for you, and if you find that the default setup isn't smoot enough, you can install a different environment on it, too. There's also a version called “Trisquel Mini” to download here, which comes with LXDE preinstalled, so it's to Trisquel what Lubuntu is to Ubuntu. (I'm not sure whether it's going to be continued in the future, though.) At any rate, good luck and enjoy Trisquelf! Run free, run GNU!

Re: [Trisquel-users] What service do you recommend to replace OpenMailBox
I know some people who've moved to Teknik. https://teknik.io/ I haven't tried it myself, but it appears to be all free software (mostly permissively licensed), and they offer a number of other services (e.g. blog, file upload, git repositories). All free of cost, apparently; looks good to me!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethical Javascript Reference
Not really; as far as I know, JavaScript programs are still programs like any other, so in order for them to be free software, they must be properly released under a free license. Usually you can find a comment about the license if you look at the script, which can be free, but could also be proprietary.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethical Javascript Reference
There is a guide on how to properly license JavaScript scripts here: http://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/free-your-javascript.html Indeed this has been written to be compatible with the LibreJS add-on, but the methods described there also allow one to easily see what the license is by looking at the script itself, so you might as well follow that rather than other types of formatting (which may still count as free licensing, but probably won't be readable by LibreJS). Note that LibreJS itself doesn't work very well, even if you follow the guidelines precisely, but the guidelines themselves seem good to me and will be useful if they fix LibreJS or someone decides to write a similar program from scratch.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Upgrade Trisquel? Remove Non-Free Software in Linux-Mint?
Yes, the MATE ISO is a live image; it boots into the MATE desktop and you can install Parabola from there (you still need to do it manually via the terminal, although there's a text-based helper [which may or may not work well], but you do get the comfort of a whole graphical environment). However, the basic installation doesn't give you the desktop, so you would need to add it and set it up yourself later. I'm a Parabola user and don't understand the internals of my system too well, but I've been able to set it up the way I want, mostly thanks to the great documentation from the respective wikis of Arch and Parabola. I always install a new system on a clean disk; if that wasn't the case, I'd probably be scared also. But as always, keep backups of all data that matters to you! That way you can recover reasonably fast if anything goes wrong. After the manual installation, once you have your basic system configured as you want, maintenance should be fairly simple. I installed GNOME, which took care of many things for me, but crashes too often with the latest updates, so I'm using Openbox now, which works well so far.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Decentralized Apps + Trisquel Integration
I don't dare compare the importance of decentralization with other good projects, but I do regard it as something very important. Here are a few projects that I know about and find interesting. A social network that has been around for quite a while is diaspora*. I think its future may have been unclear a while back, but as of now it's being actively developed by the community and things are looking well! I'm using in myself and I've had good experience with it. https://diasporafoundation.org/ Another social network more often compared to Twitter is GNU Social. The already mentioned Mastodon should be compatible with it, at least for now, as far as I know. I don't use it, but I would place much trust in GNU Social, since the GNU project is like the embodiment of passionate freedom. https://gnu.io/social/ One program I plan on using is GNU Ring, a secure and distributed (peer to peer) network for text, audio and video communication. I've tried using a long while back and it worked fairly well. Nowadays I can't get it to run on my installation of Parabola, but I keep an eye on it and I think it's the best thing of its kind we have now. The developers (Savoir-Faire Linux) appear to care about freedom very much, too, as demonstrated by them joining the project with GNU. https://ring.cx/ For media sharing, I would have to recommend looking at GNU MediaGoblin. It aims to be a decentralized network for sharing text, images, video, audio, 3D models and possibly more! As of now, the federation part of the program has not been completed, so there are but a few instances which can not really talk to each other. But hopefully we'll get to see a breakthrough in the coming days! http://mediagoblin.org/ I've also read about Syncthing, a program one can use to synchronize data across multiple devices. I suppose one would need to have a server or another device always online to get the best out of it, but I guess someone might find it useful even without that. https://syncthing.net/ One thing I've been interested in is distributed search engine. I know about Seeks – which appears to be unmaintained – and YaCy – which is written in Java. Fortunately I've recently found out about another such project: PeARS! It's a fairly young project that I couldn't get to work myself, and I couldn't find any simple way to find out what's new and what's being worked on, but Mozilla did entrust them with some funds, so let's hope these PeARS will come to fruition! http://pearsearch.org/ And last, but certainly not least: GNUnet! I'm not sure what exactly this is or how it works. I came to understand that it's supposed to be a distributed network similar to the internet (or maybe the World Wide Web?). To me it's a bit confusing and difficult to use, but I came to understand that many people regard it as interesting, useful or important, and that it's supposed to have some very cool features, so here it is! https://gnunet.org/
Re: [Trisquel-users] I've started a Patreon page
I'm not very familiar with any platform, but have you heard about Liberapay? From what I've read, it's a libre (free software) platform for recurring donations; they even handle translations with Weblate, which is also free software, I believe (although the Esperanto translation is in dire need of correction). Here's a link if anyone wants to take a look. https://liberapay.com/
Re: [Trisquel-users] Moving to full FOSS, need advice
I didn't have many problems with Parabola. I think all problems I ever had in Parabola (or Arch – the parent distro – back when I used it) were caused by myself being careless (not checking the news before updating, forcing updates, or ignoring bugs). Those kind of mistakes usually aren't hard to fix, though, thanks to the great documentation (mostly coming from the Arch Wiki). If you want a stable system that's simpler to maintain, with lesser chance of your system breaking overnight, I guess Trisquel would be a better choice. If you're prepared to deal with some problems, should they come up, I suppose either one will be nice.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Moving to full FOSS, need advice
Hello lodonnell921; welcome to the forum! Debian itself should contain only free/libre software by default; as far as I know, it only makes it simple to add non-free software. If you're careful, there shouldn't be a problem (of this kind, anyways) with it. The release date for Trisquel 8 is unknown, but it's being worked on. I myself use Parabola and I'm happy with it. Parabola has a 100% free/libre kernel with the grsecurity patches in repositories. I'm using it as my main kernel and it works very well. I'm not sure what the situation is like at Trisquel. I believe that moving away from proprietary software and even proprietary and/or centralized services is a great thing to do, so I strongly recommend doing so. One doesn't need to free their digital life completely overnight, but it's something that we should certainly always strive for; freedom is very important, after all. I guess that would be my advice. :) By the way, I've noticed that you use the term “open source.” While it basically refers to the same software, the term “open source” comes from a different movement and doesn't evoke/convey the idea of freedom that we mustn't forget. Calling it “free” or “libre” software is generally preferred. See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
Re: [Trisquel-users] Do you use GIMP or Krita? Why?
I've used both and I think each is suitable for a different activity. Krita works very well with graphic tablets and feels tailored towards people who use them. However, it also has some neat editing features which should allow the artist to do pretty much all of their work in Krita, from start to end. GIMP, on the other hand, doesn't feel like a drawing program at all; at least not by default. I often read it's intended for photo manipulation rather than image creation, which is also what I use it for and I have to agree with the saying.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Canonical is killing Unity 8, will ship GNOME as default
GNOME does not do that. Perhaps it would be possible to implement with an extension, but I'm not aware of any one like that. However, GNOME does have a menu on the top bar, but that one typically has but a few options and must be specially supported by the application. It's mostly utilized by native GNOME applications, which, in turn, usually don't have a traditional menu bar. Other applications will only show the “quit” option there.
Re: [Trisquel-users] My parents think if I advise someone how to use free software I might go to prision
I feel like one of us is severely misunderstanding the term "religion." As I understand it (still after checking the dictionary), religion is belief in god(s). If I simply believe in God, there is no exerting control over weak-minded and there is no appeasement to servants; there is only faith. What you describe sounds to me like organized churches, which do have flaws, may be controversial and some have indeed brought many bad things to people over the years, claiming it was in line with religion. But that is not the definition of religion at all. If one was to idolize the four freedoms as the sole commandments from some sort of a divine being and would decide to devote their life to supporting these freedoms, they wouldn't be doing something immoral or obstructing human progress. These beliefs wouldn't lead them to any wrong actions; contrary, they would prod them to do good in this world. As I understand it, religion is simply belief in something greater above us, and that by itself is not a bad thing and is not harmful in any way. Some forms of it may be unethical and harmful, yes, but that's not what I'm arguing for here. To me, saying that religion is bad is like saying that computers are bad. Most computers may serve to violate the freedom of their users in some ways, but it would be wrong to universally declare the invention computers as bad because of that; that would make little sense.
Re: [Trisquel-users] My parents think if I advise someone how to use free software I might go to prision
Please don't say that. Religion is not inherently unethical. It can be unethical and bring bad things, but it can just as well be ethical and bring much good. Religion is broad and diverse. It has many different forms; people can perceive and follow it in many different ways. But I don't think religion by itself sets a concrete idea which we can classify as ethical or unethical.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is WPS office a viable resource?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Libre PC users X200 , T400, C201 needs some help
Hello! I played your game (HTML5 fullscreen version) for a few minutes. I used Libreboot X200 from Minifree. (From what I read it should be near equivalent to the T400 and perhaps superior to the C201.) On it I'm running Parabola GNU/Linux-libre with GNOME Shell 3.22. Test was done in fullscreen on the laptop's display. Game didn't work in Web (Epiphany), so I resorted to Iceweasel. The game ran quite smoothly all the time, although I only got through the first few screens, partly because of somewhat confusing gameplay (and interface), as well as the control keys probably being more difficult than intended with the Dvorak keyboard layout. I only experienced lags and stuttering when I tried to record the game with GNOME's in-built desktop recorder, but that holds true for the whole desktop, so I don't think it should be a problem. When it comes to the general performance of X200, I'd say it's fine. Everything usually runs well and there are no problems with the usual workload. You can even play SuperTuxKart on low settings, which came as a surprise with the fairly recent requirements increase. Personally I find my computer to start lagging a lot once put under intense (usually graphics-related) pressure, but other owners I've talked to didn't seem to share this problem. I hope that you'll decide to go with a Librebooted laptop and continue releasing your code under free licenses. :) Run free, run GNU!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Development of Trisquel 8.0 "Flidas" Software proposal by category : Graphics
For the photo manager, I'd like to mention gThumb. I only used it briefly a long while back, but I remember it being pretty nice and working with images in already existing directory structure. It also seems to be more actively developed than F-spot.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Development of Trisquel 8.0 "Flidas" Software proposal by category : Graphics
From my experience, it doesn't. MyPaint is a painting program aimed at graphic tablet users, resembling a traditional drawing experience in many ways. While it does offer advanced functions, it's image manipulation abilities are very limited from what I can remember. I don't think a selection tool is even present. I don't think the average user would utilize MyPaint a lot. GIMP is aimed at image manipulation and while complex, I don't remember seeing any program that would be notably simpler yet offer advanced enough features.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Need a reliable VoIP soulution with video.
There are some good options posted above. I have also tried Jitsi a while back, with account at Ostel, and it worked well, but the setup was a bit complex. Ostel website for a free SIP account: https://ostel.co/ I second Jitsi Meet for a simple solution. It runs in a browser, works well and is easy to use. I found it to work better than Firefox Hello, too. I only tried the live web instance, but I believe you can use it on your own server, too. You need to make a link and share it to start a conversation, which may or may not be feasible for you. I think it may be the best solution for now, though. Website: https://meet.jit.si/ I think the true replacement for Skype and similar programs will come from the secure and decentralized alternatives, prime examples of which are Tox and Ring. They are both similar, but neither is complete and ready for mass adoption. There are people who use them without many problems, though. Tox is probably more advanced feature-wise. When I used it, it usually worked well, and I liked the UI. What I had my doubts about was the approach of the developers/maintainers towards the project, which seemed quite chaotic. The organization also went through some internal problems, but hopefully those are resolved by now. Tox consists of a core that many clients have been built around by many people. Most of them seem dead now, but the two that kept around are uTox and qTox. Website: https://tox.chat/ Ring is still lacking some features compared to Tox, but the development is led by a company who already has experience with VoIP software development. They seem to take a more serious approach to the development, and have more concrete plans for some of their work. There is an offical client for GNOME and unofficial for KDE, but of course they may be used in any environment. Website: https://ring.cx/ Both Tox and Ring use a long string of characters you need to give the other person to add them/call them. You only need to do that once, but there are efforts to simplify it. Someone people made websites where one may register to assign a name to their Tox addresses. There's been talk about integrating some of those websites into a client, but I don't know how that ended. Ring is now working on implementing searchable profiles directly on their decentralized network, so the feature is expected to come in close future.
[Trisquel-users] Content sharing in schools
Hello! The headmaster of a (fairly small) school I used to attend has recently been considering using the services of Google to share files (such as documents and presentations), usually made by teachers, with the students. Their idea was to use Google Drive and only share the files with students, but that would also require them to use or create a Google account, which really seems like a bad idea. The system the school uses now is custom-made. The problem with it is that it is somewhat difficult to use and needs a specialist (the creator) to make some changes. So they apparently want something that has a simple interface and will allow them to manage things by themselves. I would like to ask if anyone has experience with similar things in education, and if anyone has advice on what programs with simple interface one may employ to share files. Or, while at it, what programs can be used in schools in general. Would ownCloud make a good option here? Thank you in advance.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot use Adobe Flash for class anymore
Well, that's certainly an unpleasant situation. Others already gave some good advice on here, so I'll just wish you good luck! As for the technical side of things, you might want to try Shumway: https://mozilla.github.io/shumway/ Shumway is an experimental add-on for Firefox, developed by Mozilla, which should translate Flash into HTML5 on the run, or some such. In my experience, it has often been lacking, but it worked better than Gnash or Lightspark did, so certainly do give it a try! I'm not sure if it works well with Gnash and Lightspark around. I had some issues with newer versions of Shumway and Iceweasel, that is, it only worked with direct links to the .swf files. But there's a #shumway channel on irc.mozilla.org, so you can find support there if you experience issues like that. Run GNU, run free!
[Trisquel-users] Syndie? Distributed forums?
So recently I started looking for good software to use for group discussion, something like a forum. I don't want to rely on an third party provider, though, so I looked for something decentralized. I found Syndie https://www.syndie.de/index.htmls and I thought it sounded very nice, so I installed it to try it out. I have used it only for a short while, but I wasn't really able to do anything so far. I'm a bit confused about how things work internally, the program crashes sometimes and the UI is confusing and features poorly drawn icons. I find the idea very interesting, though. Does anyone in here have experience with Syndie? Or do you know about similar software that allows for decentralized forums and discussion? Please, do share your knowledge! :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Syndie? Distributed forums?
Syndie just told me that it's reccomended to run I2P. I don't know if it's a requirement or not, but if it is, then that would probably be a deal breaker for me. (Not that I can't use I2P, but I'd like something that's not as complex. Dealing with I2P AND how Syndie works seems a bit too much.)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Syndie? Distributed forums?
In the chart, there are also full-line arrows pointing to the same archives. At the bottom of the chart it says those represent non-anonymous connection, so I suppose the anonymizers are optional. If I had to choose, I guess I'd use Tor. I guess I'll just try getting Syndie to work as-is for now, though. I'll see if I can figure it out and make it work.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Syndie? Distributed forums?
Gobby looks nice, but I need something that doesn't require everyone to be onliene at the same time. I thought about trying out mailing lists, but I found an extension for MediaWiki that might actually work for me, so I'll see if we can use that.

Re: [Trisquel-users] New free user
As far as I know, Cyanogen Mod is not 100% free software. I'm not a smartphone user, but from what I've learned, Cyanogen Mod may be more freedom-friendly than Android, but still contains non-free parts and firmware, which is required for most phones to work properly. I believe that the only 100% free mobile operating system is Replicant, which is supported by FSF. http://www.replicant.us/ As for computers, most of them still contain a non-free BIOS. This problem is being tackled by the Libreboot project. http://www.libreboot.org/ For complete freedom, you can purchase a laptop from Gluglug, but it is a bit dated. http://shop.gluglug.org.uk/ I personally use Lenovo B590 with Parabola. I had to buy a USB WiFi card, but now it works properly. I think ThinkPenguin is one of the best choices, though. A company called Purism crowd-funded a high-end 100% free laptop recently, but they failed at making the BIOS free, so a performant computer with Libreboot seems to remain a dream for now :/

Looking at the paragraph right above that one, it says: It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request on every browser (except chrome*). Therefore they show up in neither our logs, nor your url history. As for other info, it doesn't seem to say. However, considering that it focuses on privacy, and unlike similar services (cough cough DuckDuckGo) it's free software, I'm going to trust it and most likely use it in close future.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Searx metasearch engine

Re: [Trisquel-users] Some free mmorpg?

[Trisquel-users] Disconnect? Internet privacy?
Hello! I have been trying to make my internet life a bit more spying-resistant. I figured that the next best option after Tor and similar would be Firefox (and derivatives) with add-ons. I always install HTTPS Everywhere, uBlock, Self-destructing cookies and NoScript for that. Some time back I was also using Disconnect, since it seemed very nice. But recently I visited their website (https://disconnect.me/) and found out that they have a free version and a premium version with added functionality, which is also commercial. That worries me, because although commercial software can be libre, I'm not sure that's the case here. Can anyone confirm if the Disconnect Premium add-on is proprietary? If so, do you know any similar software to Disconnect? I want to be safe, but I'm hesitant about supporting a company that produces proprietary software. Thank you!
Re: [Trisquel-users] How Does linux work? is it fair to all women?
Hello and welcome! First of all, 'Linux' is just a part of a bigger system called 'GNU'. People often call this combination 'Linux', but properly it should be called 'GNU/Linux', since all the operating system like Debian, Blag or Trisquel are actually a part of GNU/Linux family. Now, to answer your question: I'd say yes. I'm not entirely sure what do you mean by 'fair to all women'. An operating system is a computer program; it's a tool used by the user. Free software will only be unfair to women if the user will use it to do things unfair to women. Personally, I don't know any software that would discourage fairness to any gender. In case you were worried by the software community and development, I think you will be happy with GNU/Linux. Like you probably already know, not all software is free. A lot of people develop and use non-free software, which is wrong, because freedom is a very important value. Most people don't realize that and use systems that disrespect people, such as Windows. Then we have GNU/Linux family; most of systems in it are only partly free, though. It's better if you use system like Fedora or openSUSE than if you used Windows, but it's best to use a 100% free system, like here Trisquel. Trisquel is the most user-friendly out of the 100% free systems. If you can make it work, I reccomend you to use it. If your hardware doesn't work with 100% free software and you can't afford new one, you can have a partly free system for now (I'm assuming you use a non-free system, so it would be an improvement for you.) Now, about the community. Communities are made of people who have something in common (As in, an artist community is made of people who make art, for example.) Free software community is usually very friendly and nice! That's because all of them care for human values. People who use non-free systems can be any way, but people who use 100% free systems do so because they care about freedom. And people who care about freedom also usually care about other important human values, such as respect, kindness and equality. If someone decides to use free software, they want to support something good in life. If you look at various free software projects, you can see that they are generally very friendly and open to everyone. As a great example, I'd like to use the GNOME project. They work on providing people with a free desktop environment, the project is participated in by both men and women alike, they make annual meetings and events, and they even participated in Outreach Program for Women! To sum it up: If you choose to use free software, you shouldn't run into any ethical problems at all. And if you do, they can be easily fixed, because it's free software and you have complete control over it. Community-wise, free software community is very helpful and friendly. So your daughter can go ahead and give it a try! :) I hope my lengthy post was helpful. If you run into any problems, I'm sure you'll be able to find help here. Also, have a nice day!

Re: [Trisquel-users] ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** Is webmail a service as a software substitute (SaaSS)?
Technically, yes. Service becomes a substitute for Software in whatever you use it for instead of software that you control. You can use a client to fetch, write and manage your e-mails and contacts, but the messages are still being stored on someone else's server. Therefore, using your own client does give you control over some things, but most of the process still goes through the server. I personally do use a mail service. I don't consider SaaSS by itself to be as bad as proprietary software. Taking someone's freedom away is never good and doing so can and does have severe far-stretched consequences. However, not everyone can afford or knows how to set up and manage their own mail server. Then some people offer them services of mail hosting. Some of those are bad (most of them are), while some of those can be nice, respect the users and follow noble ideals (Riseup, OpenMailBox?). That still doesn't make them good, yes, but I wouldn't call them evil. We should try to regain control over all our services, but these are an acceptable temporary solution for me. TL;DR: Yes, mail services are SaaSS. If you use a good one, it's acceptable when better options are not accessible. In my opinion, that is.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Multiplayer online games for casual players
Thank you! That looks like a very nice resource! I haven't stumbled upon your website before, but it names some games I also haven't found yet. I will definitely check at least some of them out and probably report my findings back here, unless someone does first :)
[Trisquel-users] Multiplayer online games for casual players
Hello! Lately I've been thinking about how games affect our social lives. I have met a lot of friendly and interesting people thanks to multiplayer online games. Unfortunately, most of such games are non-free and therefore not an option. During my search for free multiplayer games, I came across a lot of nice resources, such as https://libregamewiki.org/Main_Page The problem with most games I tried out is that they are incapable of NAT traversal. That means players either have to set up their own server, or forward their ports, neither of which is something a casual user can always simply do. Therefore, I'd like to ask everyone to share any good games they know. The game must be playable for two or more players, simple to set up, work across the internet, without port forwarding and/or setting up your own separate server. If the game relies on servers, but there are usually public servers available, that's okay. Here go my contributions: Xonotic Probably one of the better known free games. It's a fast paced sci-fi arena First Person Shooter. I usually find public servers and a friendly community: http://xonotic.org/ Teeworlds A battle arena arcade-like 2D game with cute characters. It's quick, simple and fun. I usually find public servers there: https://www.teeworlds.com/ Lix If anyone remembers Lemmings, this is it's clone. You get little people spawning and you need to guide them to the goal using your wits and provided tools. I used the public server, which was empty, but worked fine: http://asdfasdf.ethz.ch/~simon/index.php Hoping to learn about more from you! :)
