Re: [Trisquel-users] Guix on Trisquel
The package contains just the tarball and an installer script that I have written, you will have to run /gnu/guix_installer/setup first. When your guix installation is broken, you can stop the guix-daemon and remove /gnu/store and /var/guix and then rerun /gnu/guix_installer/setup again.

from addons.mozilla.org (calling it with no argument display usage info):

It is not perfect. For instance, HTTPS Everywhere has "Multiple" for a
license. In that case, there is a free software license among the
"multiple". But that is not necessarily the case and "Multiple" had better
be rejected to err on the safe side the classification of the future add-ons
with the same license.
We could imagine a one-day "event" where every volunteer would be given a
page number (to be written twice in argument of the first script) and would
take care of the 25 add-ons on the related page, up to the inclusion in
Abrowser's catalog if they are free software.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Guix on Trisquel
With a fresh install of Uruk, I ran $ git clone https://notabug.org/isengaara/debian-guix-installer.git $ cd debian-guix-installer $ make $ sudo dpkg -i guix-installer.deb and got (Reading database ... 259417 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack guix-installer.deb ... Unpacking guix (0.14.0) over (0.14.0) ... Setting up guix (0.14.0) ... I then ran $ guix package -i hello and got bash: guix: command not found and ~/.guix-profile was not created. Is there a step I'm missing? I tried $ sudo apt install guix and got guix is already the newest version (0.14.0)

Re: [Trisquel-users] News Media
What MD is asking for is nearly impossible. Alas... Although, most of the population is liberal if you think about it. So... that to me says go for something that is liberal leaning. Ignore anything though related to fox news or the sinclair broadcast group. That's my stance. I say this because, extremism leads to the wide door. Moderation leads to the narrow door. In usa, everything is so political that shouldn't be... such as the NRA and their crazy ass stance on guns... war being honorable is a conserative idea I get the feeling... lying. stealing, scandals, those last three used to apply to both sides equally... But if you want my opinion listen to what people say, how they say it, and how often they are challenged. This is always a good way to find the truth. and last but not least, if you think both sides of the fence are equally bad in your country... look for what other countries say about the country your in. Those are my thoughts. ps, this last option may take longer then you think.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Disconnet addon will not install in Abrowser
Privacy Badger works fine for me. I used it since it was in beta, and it has improved a lot. Though even when in beta let me tell you, it has less issues than disconnect. irony right? yeah...
[Trisquel-users] Re : Disconnet addon will not install in Abrowser
Indeed. The real solution is to add the free software add-ons to Abrowser's catalog, https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons that is also accessible through Abrowser's menu. I do not know who takes care of that list. Adding add-ons in decreasing order of popularity (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?platform=linux=users lists them in that order) looks like a good strategy. However, https://addons.mozilla.org lists proprietary add-ons, hence Abrowser's specific catalog. If I find time, I may try to automate the license check.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Disconnet addon will not install in Abrowser
I still can make a test with Panopticlick to test it. Indeed, I succeed to install addons with the right-click method. Thank you. But with all those warnings from Mozilla website, I have to admit this is not... very easy to think about this. Even the mouse pointer turns to forbidden link when you point on add to Firefox button. And this may be a prejudice for us when a new user install Trisquel as ABrowser is our default browser.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Disconnet addon will not install in Abrowser
I believe that quidam sets an older and more common user agent to mitigate fingerprinting. You can right-click on the button "+ Add to Firefox" to then copy the link and paste it in the address bar.

Thank you, I've already herad about it but I can't install it at this adress on Abrowser https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/umatrix/ The website asks me to download Firefox. As well on Chrome and Opera website for their respective browsers.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Disconnet addon will not install in Abrowser
Thank you guys for theses good links. If I "quite" understand what's going on with addons on Firedox 57, I would really appreciate your advices on how to get some good addons on new Abrowser. I miss for example a good video downloader and I used Downthemall with unplug. I have uBock origin, httpseverywhere, privacy badger and Greasemonkey with View Tube script but this is not working for downloading every video. Thanks in advance.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Disconnet addon will not install in Abrowser
I just installed uMatrix to try it out. According this thread on reddit (last post): https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxAddons/comments/35ytka/umatrix_privacy_settings_other_addons/ You want to keep NoScript for the XSS protection. uMatrix will block javascript very well. But once you allow some javascript, it steps aside. NoScript will still scan allowed javascript for obvious XSS attempts and prevent it. I don't have the 'Privacy' tab and can't seem to find info about it. Did you do anything to make it visible or so?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Disconnet addon will not install in Abrowser
>Even Supertramp83 have NoScript installed on Abrowser I don't use Abrowser but vanilla Firefox on Debiannino. Btw I'm considering removing noscript as it would appear to be redundant with the umatrix addon. o/
Re: [Trisquel-users] Guix on Trisquel
I recently created a debian package, so I can install guix on many machines more quickly. https://notabug.org/isengaara/debian-guix-installer The next step will be building a debian package for the libreboot tools (patched flashrom and cbfstool). The software has been built on Trisquel 7 but it will run on any system as it is statically linked.

I'm afraid I haven't come up with a solution to automate this ideal behaviour. I'll keep looking into it but most probably you'll have to change the address manually or continue the conversation once someone else has (either by manually changing the CC or by answering via forum).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Disconnet addon will not install in Abrowser
It seems it still remains possible to get Chrome and Opera addons in Firefox 57 (so Abrowser57) through Chrome Store Foxified addon (MPL v2) https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/chrome-store-foxified/ as says this french article : http://www.papergeek.fr/firefox-comment-y-installer-des-extensions-google-chrome-opera-81008 I don't really like this option, but even if Chrome Store Foxified addon should work on Mozilla 57, Firefox website tells me to download Firefox. Have I missed something ?
