Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
In defense of my friend Jxself You asked for technical resources: 1.- Calling things by its name is really important for a technical person. From doctors, to mathematicians, to sysadmins. It is important for all of them to use proper technical names in order for them to express the exact thing they want to say. 2.- The article was written by Richard M. Stallman, probably the most important person on the GNU/Linux community, both technical,(as he decided a lot of important stuff of how the GNU system works), and morally (as his opinions matter a lot for the community). 3.- The article speaks of technical matters, as it explains the difference between a Full Operating System and a Kernel. 4.- That website is full of technical resources that will help you to improve your knowledge of topics of the GNU System, like the sometimes wrongly called linux terminal, that in reality is GNU Bash, (just type help on your terminal and see the input). See: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/ 5.- That same website is full of resources that will help you to understand the legal aspects of free software licenses, that by your line of work, you will probably need at least have some understanding of them. See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html#TheGNUsystem and also see https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/copyleft.html So I think Jxself was trying to help you rather than "just saying that", and he gave you actually a really good answer. But I do think is bad for you to say just "linux", if you want to improve your technical knowledge of a system is important to at minimum know its name.

Very cool, impressive!
Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
Sysadmin and programming? Iwouldn't choose a forum, but more like wikis, books, anything like that. I could have recommended things like codecademy but javascript and stuff. But I'm aware of an intro for LISP (for example) on the emacs documentation. I like Archwiki, For IT, I think there's some good stuff on Youtube (can't remember the names).
Re: [Trisquel-users] No grub file
This part isn't straightforward for me either, so I can't help. And there's no such file on my Debian nor on my Trisquel. But reading it again, you can still do as it was suggested, and extract it from the ROM, modify it, re-import it in the ROM, and (sorry for not being more clear earlier) flash it, but not with hardware, only software. It's about flashing the ROM from the CLI. For details, please read above.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
Do you Sir reply just to say That? I know is Gnu/linux, it was not on purpose when I forgot to use the GNU. Is it to bad just to say linux instead of Gnu/Linux? I think if you reply only to make that annotation, and don't give a answer to the question baing made... well... I don't see the point of it! But sure is Gnu/Linux not just linux. You have reason on that, my fault!

What were the results of that attempt?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tehnoetic X200 Tablet and T500 now available
I did what he asked - give him time to try the diplomatic approach.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tehnoetic X200 Tablet and T500 now available
So richard was asking you not to attack them publicly, but you're doing it anyway?

It doesn't raise valid ethical concerns, it's just useless. Like upstream Winetricks and unlike Wine, PlayOn(GNU/)Linux should raise concerns. It may still be trolling because: - Do they ship PlayOnLinux without patches to get rid of nonfree recommendations? I don’t know, in particular: - Does Ututo even exist anymore? Apparently not.
