Thanks for the tip, GoldenDict looks nicer than MATE dictionary.
okay thanks but how shall i update to the unstable branch...
What steps are required?
sudo apt install artha goldendict
Yep. I'm using the TorBB and all his posts are definitely blank.
"The alternative would be to start a blacklist of people and
companies not to accept money from... that way looks really grim to
me."
If the interest of said company is clearly contrary to the actual goal of
your charity organization, it may not be a bad idea to blacklist them.

You can also access dictionary servers using the gnome-dictionary or
mate-dictionary utilities. I am sure KDE has something too.

I wonder what how you figure that it's not the best; typically when I
consider, say, a politician's views I will research where
Payments can corrupt. They can create dependencies and influence decisions.
Is there a threshold in terms of what payments are unacceptable? Should fsf
accept money that likely was made on software which is contrary to fsf
policies? Saying it is not a matter, is ignorance. I think google

Wouldn't all political parties argue the same way?

The good part about this is that the nature of free software makes it easy to
detect abuse.
For example, say RMS is corrupted by Stallman and tries to alter the
definition of free software. RMS isn't the final word. Free software is free
because of the nature of software, not because RMS's

The page you linked to says "patrons at $50,000".
Again, I wasn't directing any ire towards the FSF. I was merely challenging
your assertion that since they are a non-profit and legally bound to their
stated mission that they are incorruptible. Nothing humans do is
incorruptible.
I'm sure that the FSF is doing great things with the money

That seems to be the case. Isn't it amazing how you first spot the typos and
mistakes one second after you've submitted a first post? ;)
I stand corrected. Maybe I was thinking of foundations. Anyway, never mind
that part. Google giving to charity looks to me like buying face. Am I wrong
about that as well?
The comment above by healinghawk, and few others by him seem blank to me
while reading them via browser. I wonder what's going on.
"Charity" and "nonprofit" are not synonymous in the United States (at least).
A charity is non-profit but the reverse is not true. The FSF is a charity, a
501(c)(3) organization. It must work in the interest of the public. The Linux
foundation I was taking in comparison is a trade
I didn't know FSF was considered a charity. Must be my understanding of
English lacking in this respect. I thought it was a non-profit. I checked and
they seem to be synonyms. Charities have a bad name.

FSF a charity? Charities are more often than not for tax evasion. Besides,
Google is only buying face and making merit. In the past influential people
paid to the church to ease their conscience and absolve sins. This is the
modern variety.
Please explain how Google giving money to the FSF could cause the FSF to do
something against the interest of its own mission, and get away with it. I
don't see it.
Disclaimer, I am in no way badmouthing the FSF here. I'm just addressing one
of your points because there is logical error to it.
You write: The FSF is a non-profit organization, legally required to do what
it was founded for. It is therefore entirely incorruptible.
That is completely
The FSF accepts money. Not orders. It works for the public interest. It is a
charity (not a trade association like the "Linux Foundation"). And an
excellent one organization-wise:

StarDict (in Trisquel's repository) maybe?
Why? The patrons page states very clearly: "The FSF does not endorse the
activities of its patrons."
The FSF is a non-profit organization, legally required to do what it was
founded for. It is therefore entirely incorruptible. Donations from Google
cannot sway the FSF's actions.
I personally spend most of my time in a text editor: programming, writing
documents (in LaTeX), presentations (in Beamer LaTeX), etc. The time I have
spent, for 12 years ago, learning Emacs have paid off at least a thousand

I'm still trying to figure out which ones I like the most, and whether I like
CLI or GUI better.
But sticking with CLI programs, I really like Ranger. I still have Thunar on
the side because I didn't learn the commands to create, copy, paste stuff
without destroying everything. But
I had that problem as well, and if I remember correctly, fchmmr (Libreboot's
author) told me to simply use a full Trisquel USB stick, since I can choose
to make a netinstall from it anyway.
It's not fresh in my memory, but I think you can select manual install or
something.
Trying to use GUI programs whenever possible is perfectly reasonable.
It has been an off-and-on project of mine over the years to develop a large
enough repertoire of CLI programs so I could in theory go without X Windows.
Obviously, for things like presentation software, or pictures, or
Off topic but funny, I guess - I installed Xubuntu on a friend's laptop (the

Hi,
I want to read real-time data available with flash. Seems gnash isn't enough

My ugly solution would be to install flash on aonother browser (like icecat,

But as much as possible, I don't wanna go there.
