As far as I know there is NO equivalent to Microsoft Publisher.
Some people have mentioned Scribus, but Scribus is the equivalent of a
complete Desktop Publishing, say InDesign or Quark. Maybe LibreOffice Writer
has some of the functions, but none of the templates.

It's not about signatures. It's about what comes AFTER the kernel. The init

according to their policy. Some are tolerant with some proprietary code, some
bundle code they're not supposed to. Minor derivates only work

Sorry, but you seem to have a prejudice. I don't know a site for which the

It's easy to deny (read AND write) or allow (read AND write) but would mean
tinkering to allow read while denying write.
I'm sure patches are accepted though.
I believe you are correct, but still it's the best choice if you need to run
dos in a computer. And the project is very FLOSS minded so it's something
that we should perhaps try to understand (it's DOS after all, you can't be
picky with something that is older than ourselves :P)

1. Trisquel users are already running non-free software on their computers
(Bios, etc).
I hate to repeat myself. Please, throw away your computer now, you are
running proprietary software. Don't try to rationalize, justify or minimize
that fact. Throw your computer away now, and also
There are a lot of examples of absolute unethical actions. Human slavery
is one of them

Overall positive, but they don't seem to get the subtle details and tend to
focus on specs and refurb, but hey, it's a mention of a freedom option going
out to a Linux audience.
It's not free software AFAIK, but I have a simple e-reader the cheapest K*
from Amazon. It's an e-ink screen and I don't have it connected to the
internet or registered to an account. PROS: you can easily load books onto it
via its USB cable, which I get from sites like booksshouldbefree.com
So, you have realized that my argument was right and now instead of
acknowledging that, you try to attack me (in my decision to use Debian and
still be a part of this community) to make it look bad. That would be almost
a ad-hominem fallacy.
I have made my point. He who has hears, hear.
I don't think it's possible to understand a system to this extent.
Why?
@GNUuser that was certainly not an attack, but an honest question (which you
chose NOT to answer). I do NOT agree with your argument in this case, or
the fact that you generally view so many posts as arguments (you vs.
trisquel). I am honestly, confused, as you don't seem to share the

The non-free BIOS--which is an issue for the majority of computers now
available--has troubled me too as there are few (almost no) free options. In
general you cannot buy a new modern computer to escape this problem.
But how does that have anything at all to do with Trisquel, or Debian? It's

Yes, I am sure, because most people here do not have a computer with a free

I could argue that you first paragraph makes no sense and such... but the

I had no idea there is a CC 4.0. 3.0 fit me well. That is not a good reason.
Back in the days when GPL v3 was fresh it was unclear why to upgrade. Years
later I found out what TiVo was. I am still against the phrasing GPL vX and
any later version.
While it is true that free software is about the 4 essential freedoms over
the software, RMS himself has said that this is not just a technical matter.
It is a social matter, free software should bring us a free society.
And in a free society you can't have freedom unless you are free from

I came across this post
(https://trisquel.info/en/forum/how-install-chromium-0) from 2012 and

You cannot trust proprietary developers.
They say it's a security update, while in reality it could be the opposite.
It's so naive to believe them, these criminals.
Jerry Springer... i hope you're joking ;) no, i don't find that interesting

What is special about Clarendon?
It's one of the oldest and most popular typefaces that survive today. That's
why I chose it over Canada Type's other possibility, Informa Pro.
You know, you are kind of funny... You say I recommended non-free software in
this thread. Mind to show us where I wrote that? If you will be so kind

the software list, install the Intel update, remove the non-free repository,
reload list again, and you are back to having access to free software only.

I have NO issue with you saying I, and i agree, probably
I also never said you should be banned (i think you should) - but I never
said that. which i stated elsewhere in THIS thread. I just hoped you'd
leave, and not return...
I'm not going to debate this with you further - i view it as a waste of time.
It's YOU now, that needs to read more
I'd try supplying the full path to qrencode
I don't believe it has. I don't think it is top priority considering we have
several quality free browsers anyway; Abrowser (Firefox) continues to get
better with each release.
The user agent string is easily spoofed. I imagine spammers would be spoofing
legitimate browsers anyway.
It works now. I can't understand why that would make a difference. Is my
shell script looking for qrencode in the working directory?
I'd guess that PATH= probably has something to do with it?
I have qrgui working now. I'll do some final polishing, then post the final
version.
sebelius, Yes. That is how it seems. When a security company is involved in
the following type of activity, where should one go? To another proprietary
vendor? Heck no!

/me breaths a sigh of relief. sorry, perhaps after reading/replying to GNUser
