Thanks, very helpful.
Do you know how can I switch between window managers? I can't find it in
system settings.
Neither. If you look at the script LibreJS complains about, you'll see a
clear license notice at the top. It's a libre script. But LibreJS depends on
certain stylized comment to detect this, and the script doesn't use that.
I don't think this system of automatically loading JavaScript onto
For me, Libreboot and Replicant come to mind.
They are both so damn important and have severe problems (replicant doesn't
support a single device with working wifi, libreboot is limited to very few
mainboards).
Besides, I immediately think of reverse engineering of wireless card
firmware.

I think this, too.
Also, I think there should be a variant of a Web browser that executes
JavaScript, but only (by default) loads stuff locally, off your own disk, not
from servers. This type of thing should be how we run HTML/JavaScript
applications (what people tend to call Web

I looked for something like this for the last years?

ok thanks for clarifying
Well, it comes with Abrowser. If it's not Free Software, Abrowser isn't,
either.
I've read quickly and found no great explicit worries. But we still need to
take a more close attention, as I am not expert on legal reading so may be a
small line compromising the project. And also because Hello relies on OpenTok
by TokBox to work.

that has low power consumption and is around as powerfull?
I also like that openmailbox offers a owncloud service for free. I just
wanted 2GB instead of 1GB, although I wonder how hard it is to offer so much
space without being one of the big companies offering tracked-based ads.
By the way, openmailbox is still needing more donations for the 2015
Hey there quantumgravity.
Well, being myself a user who uses TBB as the default browser for a long time

really miss anything. Just be careful, it might get addictive ;) Also, it's

2. Can I create a graphics card or a wireless card? As in, create it myself?

It didn't crash after I'd entered gnome-panel in the terminal but I got this:
Panel leaving: a new panel shell is starting.
(gnome-panel:2003): EggSMClient-CRITICAL **: egg_sm_client_set_mode:
assertion `global_client == NULL || global_client_mode ==
EGG_SM_CLIENT_MODE_DISABLED' failed
Can I keep launching panel from terminal repeatedly till it crashes or just
once after starting up the system. Can I stop the process and relaunch it
again if that is a good idea at all?
I think that would be fine, but only if accepting a script caused it to be
stored permanently, like a user script, and with proper controls to determine
whether and from what source it should auto-update, again, like a user
script.

I have. He expressed disagreement:
That would be ideal from our point of view, but it would mean more
compromise or inconvenience for the service developers. (They want to
distribute JS code so that the service will work automatically for
ordinary users.)
In practice, some of them do
Honestly, if rms talks about *practicle* problems with your approach, it's
really time to give it some serious thoughts.
That said, I think you are exaggerating the problem. I can't think of
any situation that requires interactivity in a Web page, and many
websites do work just fine as
the license of the software running on their servers is a minor concern. It
would be nice if they released the code, but it's not a necessity.
There's a strong ethical obligation to share, especially for something that
would be generally useful. Please don't try to present it as it would be
You say that he's exaggerating the problem but honestly
it's more that you're doing the opposite, probably because
you're too much focusing on your own browsing habits.
What situations are you thinking of that require interactivity in a Web page
beyond what the browser provides on its own?
Require in a technical sense like can't be done without javascript: none.
Require as in won't run today without javascript: an aweful lot.
I gave it some thought and agree with rms even more.
You're proposal is completely beyond any practicability.
Who is supposed to write all the replacements
That's right, and I still disagree with you; I already pointed out the
implications of your logic.
Do you want to require *any* webserver to free their code from now on?
You can't tell other people what software they run on their computers, and
you can't force them to share the code.
You
No- it uses WebRTC. I just tried it out today. It runs like magic. I used two
laptops (Each with the latest Abrowser and Trisquel 7), and Hello worked
perfectly.
I'm inclined to agree with Quantum. It is not an obligation for the server
host to release the code they use, as long as it's possible to develop your
own server by filling in the holes and reading the client's source code. If
for some reason this is impossible, then there is a problem. But,
I want to point something else out:
Freedom is our reason for wanting to do something about JavaScript, but there
are other reasons to reject JavaScript on the Web that other groups can get
behind: security, privacy, and simplicity. The EFF could be a massive ally
here, for example.
With
I'd say- Replicant drivers as well as support for newer devices (Most people
give you a crazy look when you suggest an S2) and Libreboot.
I've at no point said it's an obligation, only that it should be presented
with a stronger argument that it would be preferable if they did or in an
ideal world, they would. Those are not strong enough. Sharing is good, and
sharing the software that they make would be a contribution to
I've at no point said it's an obligation
In your previous post, you said, There's a strong ethical obligation to
share, especially for something that would be generally useful.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.
Yes, ethics and legality are different issues too. Ethically, they should. In
doing so they can make a contribution to society. Legally they don't have to.
What's right and what's legal aren't always the same thing. (It really is too
bad that the
I think this whole discussion was about an ethical obligation, not a legal
one (which obviously there isn't)
Could someone make a business of buying Chromebooks and selling them

It can't? A bit of a forum flame war waiting to happen then (surely a forum
somewhere will have a WebRTC v. SIP discussion, right?)
There are challenges in meeting the FSF's RYF criteria: https://fsf.org/ryf
Sure, someone could.
However, based on the wiki page, it seems that the freedom aspect of the
Chromebook Pixel is questionable at this point.
I'll try to pick one up and take a look inside.
