After nearly 20 years of using Thinkpads, I can hardly function with the
crappy keyboards and touchpads that come with lesser laptops. I've tried
using Chromebooks. The weight difference was negligible the build and
hardware was wimpy, even compared to an X60. I missed my trackpoint and
I have a few thoughts for government intelligent agencies and people here
too...
IF you have to spy at all there should be some requirements:
1: You cannot spy on your own citizens without jumping through many hoops
meaning if they are criminals or history of wrongdoing.
2: You cannot
Three new devices are now certifed by FSF. First is Vikings X200, second is

I *can* understand your perspective, and am fully aware I'm naively
optimistic in my thinking. However, I do still think there is reason to have
hope for change.
>If amd can do well without the libre software segment they probably will.
In theory, this is a perfectly reasonable assumption.
>Good, but irrelevant to Trisquel.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as
Trisquel, is in fact, Trisquillo-GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to
calling it, Trisquillo-GNU plus Linux. Trisquel is not an operating system
unto itself, but rather another free

I'm not saying Russia, China, or basically any government and powerful enough
company are saints though. Speaking of France 'I've seen the subject twice I
think), the
Good, but irrelevant to Trisquel.
Exactly.
I just wish it didn't load up that childish cartoon image by default. The
Libreboot logo is clean and attractive, although I don't know how they've
avoided being sued by John Deere yet.
No. RMS appropriately posted that only on his personal site, not on the FSF
site, because it's irrelevant to software freedom.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving doesn't care what your stance on taxes,
climate, or abortion is, and rightly so. To get anything done in politics
you have to
That's a very legitimate point. Wikileaks is looking more and more like an
arm or tool of Russian intelligence. Has it EVER posted anything
embarrassing to the Kremlin or damaging to Putin's interests? Instead it and
Assange seem intensely motivated by animus against the mainstream, big
>have the power we need to win over AMD, provided everybody who cares even in
the slightest for this puts in the time to make it known.
I am not sure. If amd can do well without the libre software segment they
probably will. That is what amd and intel have been doing.

re '1 or 2 CPUs supported: both are AMD Opteron 6272 2.1GHz 16 cores per CPU
(32 cores if selecting 2 CPUs)'
2.1GHz isn't especially fast but with 16 cores would that be like 2.1GHz X 16
= 33.6GHz?
I guess it's like $2500 to $5000 USD.
I don't imagine they can guarantee against MITD
yes, old news
IT dawned on me I might be wrong but I was too lazy to check.
but yeah it is still a free software license. :)
so no big deal.
wha? why?
What is that supposed to...
I don't even...
meh... w/e still amusing. heh.
Wow, fast responses. Thank you.

Exactly this.

Trisquel is fully free. Even free software has (security) bugs. Developers
can respect the essential freedoms of the users (by picking a free software
license). They cannot promise to not commit any error, to be perfect.
The same actually holds for governments: the "Declaration of the
AGPLv3: https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/blob/master/LICENSE
I am going to play devils advocate here, with a pinch of genuine ignorance.
Drivers aside, principles aside, what actual harm can non free gpu firmware
do? What's the difference than say the software on my calculator? Could it
not just be considered some sort of "soft circuit"? I understand
Because there aren’t fully free computer OS's. And Trisquel is not more
free than others if it can be hacked! Simple as that.
