Re: [Trisquel-users] I cannot see easily which layer I am selecting now on Gimp
I think we have inadvertently walked on a dog's dropping around post #7 and slipped into the Troll Lounge.

> You cut the body of the dolphin without respect, at ease. You actually started it by cutting its right tail fin. I did not know it was a dolphin, I was transforming what I thought was a dog's mess into a Scottie, putting life back to it. > that is not your work, originally. You would rather have that kind of respect, like mentioning the initial source and its license Given the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License under which we are posting in this forum, I originally posted it as a Modified Version of your work right below your original production, which made it quite straightforward who was the original author. The whole thread got erased for some reason, so the original reference got buried in the void. Someone else must have hit the wrong button. I cannot modify my post here because you have replied to it, so I shall post my derivative work again and duly mention you as the original author and myself as derivative artist. If you are still not happy with this, you can always request a removal of my earlier post and refrain from posting your works here in the future or from complaining about derivative works for which there is absolutely no ambiguity about who is the original author.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Helping with documentation
Log in, go to the documentation page you would like to work on and click on "Edit" on the top right of the page. You will access the source of the page and everything will be quite straightforward. Of course, if you are unsure of what you have to do or afraid of breaking something, you might ask away here or contact one of the current editors listed at the bottom of the page. This is a collective edition work so any change can be undone by going back to one of the previous versions. Thanks for getting involved in updating the doc.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Pinephone Community Edition
Please do not mention this either, we had to send him half planet Cabbage before he accepted to even consider it. We do not hold it against him, though, he seems to have been quite trigger happy recently. Rumour has it that he managed to delete his own thread. The TLCDC is still inquiring about it so I cannot comment further. We have a feeling you might have missed this post of ours, for some reasons it got both unduly indented: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-9-etiona-0?page=1#comment-151656

I have no idea how to reword a painting.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Pinephone Community Edition
By the way, we are keeping some of your ant bots prisoners until we have fully managed to reverse-engineer them. We might also test their resistance with some new powerful chemical. We will not torture them, though, it is useless now. We can exchange them for a few of these giant cactuses you busted. Of course they are not ours but we have a deep interest in herbology, as you know.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Pinephone Community Edition
Indeed. A long way from the secret giant cactus.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel and Jami
I do not have this problem on Trisquel 9. Nor did I have it on Trisquel 8. I am not using Libreboot though.
Re: [Trisquel-users] I cannot see easily which layer I am selecting now on Gimp
Indeed GIMP requires to understand how layers work, while many users simply do not need them.

I always have a secret microform copy of this forum. Those are necessities to rue stupid users or something.

That's an illusion put into your head by mobile phone manufacturers and service providers. Billions of people lived a happy life for centuries without mobile phones. Most of them did not have internet either.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Etiona
I knew something fishy had happened when they suddenly vanished after a fierce, protracted fight. I must have let the microbot queen too close to the secret micropodule. I now understand why she pretended to be dying for so many days. How many half cabbages shall I send in exchange for your silence? I would not like everyone to learn that I am using a secret microcomputer to test flatpak and guix on Trisquel 9. Blast, I just ruined your hopes of cabbage shower. Were you eyeing another castle in the sky? There is a small castle nearby, I might ask the owners to invite you.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Etiona
You are right, I cannot reveal anything here, except that it is secret. You might find some clues in this nearby thread, however: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/pinephone-community-edition#comment-151402

[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 9 Etiona
I am not, for one, and at the same time I am, depending on which machine you are talking about. There have been a few things I wanted to investigate on Trisquel 9 so I installed it on a secret microcomputer but am still running Trisquel 8 on my 'production' PC. T9 obviously feels quite mature now so many users might indeed have forgotten they are running a beta, or should we say gamma version.

I have already switched to Ubuntu Gnome 14.04, it runs fine on the 2011 eeepc. Also, I totally unplugged my main OS from the network to avoid methane contamination from cow wind breaking. I am writing this on a vegetal manuscript in a 1756 bottle of rum.

What about Yuri?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone know what happened to boba?
I think it is usually attributed to Pavel Aleksandrovich Tolstoy Jr, but originally suggested by Jesus. I am not sure which Jesus though, there might also have been a few of them, more or less famous in their respective towns.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone know what happened to boba?
According to Tolstoy, one should not resist evil.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone know what happened to boba?
Does it mean we can keep the items we collected at the workplace then? I am getting anxious about them items.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Pinephone Community Edition
Sure. I like the compact models especially.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Etiona
Thanks. I have indeed a memory of out-of-the-box fit with a Macbook, keys, connections and everything. Only, the user wanted a jukebox and the sound was almost inaudible. Because there are two standards for combo jack connectors: the universal standard, and the Apple standard. Everything else was working fine so I flew back to my place with the laptop and kept searching until I found some nice drawing about the jack standards. I only needed to play wit the pin configuration of the soundcard and switch the base channel for the mic channel. Another option would have been to invest in a $2 adapter but my friend was too greedy for that so we went for the soft way.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Etiona
The issue with scrolling on the sound applet is indeed gone, as I think you reported somewhere. Are the function keys operational on your install(s)? I will need to check the key bindings further but as it stands the volume keys are not working (sound-off, volmue+ and volume-).
Re: [Trisquel-users] About the Duckduckgo default referral
> instead of being given the opportunity to check a box to allow it. That should rather read "instead of no-referral DDG (html only) being the predefined default search engine". No need for box checking, users would only need to change the default search engine to DDG-with-referral if preferred.
[Trisquel-users] About the Duckduckgo default referral
As mentioned in a now defunct thread, Abrowser is sending the ?t=trisquel string by default to DDG. I found out that LinuxMint for instance are explicitly mentioning their referrals on their "Partners" page (see screenshot or on their website) and how they get some of the ad revenue back. Would it not be better to mention it somewhere here, maybe nearby the donation corner? Again, I am sure some users might be happy to contribute that way if they do not have enough resources to donate. It was a bit awkward to discover it by chance, instead of being given the opportunity to check a box to allow it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Optimizing Trisquel for Offline Computing
I had completely forgotten about it because I have not been needing offline resources so much recently, but HTTrack allows you to download the whole content of most static websites for offline browsing. https://www.httrack.com/ You can install it from the Add/Remove Applications.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone know what happened to boba?
The data is gone, I was stupid enough to hit the wrong button and confirm, which in the current settings permanently wipes everything away, posts and replies. Lots of stuff just went back to the void where they belonged, freeing some storage space for better use. I cannot really regret that. Most valuable stuff is still in the mailing list archives. I will now focus on sharing my Trisquel experience wherever applicable, outside the Troll Lounge.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone know what happened to boba?
you are safe, that's what counts. I seem to have morphed into a penguin in the process, but yes, I am safe, thanks. We can call off the bounty hunters. Oh my, yes, please do. I had to start the random morphing process in order to escape them.
[Trisquel-users] Anyone know what happened to boba?
I am awfully sorry for the fuss, I had difficult times with the email provider I had been using for the boba account. My email address got blocked for unknown reasons, they just would not tell anything, except that they would not tell why. They also blocked the new address I created in order to ask for a new account here. The name of the provider is "mail" followed by the usual commercial ".com" suffix. I will be boycotting them too. My email address being blocked, I thought it better to erase my account here but seemingly hit the wrong button. I did not expect all the posts and the answers to vanish altogether, only the poster to turn to "Anonymous" or something, as I have sometimes seen in older threads. I have now asked for a new account with this email, I hope it will be validated. I have no idea whether deleted posts from a deleted account can be un-deleted on the forum. Many of them were arguably not a big loss for the community but I agree with andyprough that some answers were valuable material.
