I think it's stretching it to claim that any media channel is telling the
whole truth. Even those who seek the truth have to beware of their own
desires and bias.
Rather, I go for viewing as many different sources as possible and weighing
up the evidence (as much as that is at all possible).

I don't have many details, but the basic principle is that two different

@Liberty: MD5 is essentially not unsafe simply because it was possible to
produce checksum duplicates. Try to modify any file inside the ISO for a
specific purpose and produce a duplicate MD5 checksum which matches the
current one. Good luck.

But I couldn't guarantee that it would do any good.
CPUs also have some microcode burned into them.
In fact, any phone is connected in a way that your position can be learned.
Traditional phones are always in one location, and cell phones can have their
location detected by triangulation.
Actually, it's not a bad thing that your position can be detected,
necessarily. It's good in

That would only be true if phone manufacturers are required by law to really

I've tried to run Trisquel on qemu with the -net none option in order to

by qemu/KVM is still very slow and I don't know why. On youtube I see people
running VM on qemu very well.
Check your BIOS setup, perhaps the virtualization support is turned off?
It is a fact that collisions exists in MD5 and the internet is abundant with
information about it. Some have even made executables with different
contents, with the same MD5 signature. Here is a pretty good explanation:

Why don't we start a wiki page with trusted/free PPAs?
There are problems with the currently available solutions such that we
haven't moved forward with anything. From insufficient ram to non-free
software issues. It may be possible to do a custom board with more ram
though. A future project. I'm sure an expensive one at that.
I believe for cards 10 years+ old there is a free software driver. There may
be a non-free driver for newer cards.
No, because coreboot (a free software BIOS) will technically run on a handful
of desktop x86 systems out there.
