"WINE and ReactOS happened before the source code leak, therefore that
argument can't stand."
Only for code that went into WINE and ReactOS before the leak. The provenance
of code that goes in afterward would have the potential problem that IrishUSA
pointed out.
It appears the story, as posted by the Register, may be somewhat
sensationalist: https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37283 gives
a clarification.
Regardless, there's probably not much that can come from it besides a minor
privacy review (and Heather's spark idea, which sounds
Only thing I'd use it for is some twisted modern equivalent to what I did to
the $200 winshit ecch's pee CD I didn't have to keep in a safe place any more

I put it in the microwave for exactly 15 seconds and looked at the pretty

After some time i was able to fix all my problems :)
Libreboot do not work.
Coreboot works ! I build with no microcode updates and with seabios!
Coreboot have one bug also but in irc we fixed configuration file generation!
Also no boot wait!
System boot super fast !
Lilos, how did
I don't understand why a server isn't an option for you.
To me:
* people I communicate with are 99% on non-free providers. So my emails are
compromised anyway.
* from there, Openmailbox/mail server vs Gmail/Yahoo, not much of a
difference, I suppose. Well, free software on a personal server
WINE and ReactOS happened before the source code leak, therefore that
argument can't stand.
As for the source code itself, it's meaningful only to see how f***ed up it
might be regarding privacy.
Else, I don't care since I don't use it (OK I do at work, but not willingly).
It shouldn't be
Thank you!
I think it's very bad news for WINE and the ReactOS project. It makes it
harder for them to be able to defend themselves against claims they haven't
seen the source code.

Can it provide more source software for hard ware?
The only suggestion I have is that they should do the same thing Debian does
(since never mind Nvidia cards, many System76 machines require proprietary
firmware for wireless cards if I'm not mistaken). That's already been brought
up. And I'm not exactly well-known, so it's not like they're
No need to just leave it up to onpon4... We all how our views that are worth
sharing about this.
Are there noticeable performance differences between the models? Such as in
bootup time, launch time of major programs like the web browser, email app,
LibreOffice?
Are they all able to run commercial DVD movies out of the box? I've been
unable to get that working myself in other distros
I think Onpon would be the right person to leave a comment on that issue
page.
I'd hate it to go downhill, turn into a race to downvote different views.
It's crazy they have this system up. An invitation to be trollish.
I think it would be helpful to educate them on what they can do to appeal to
people wgho really care about freedom.
Thank you. I didn't know that.
In light of new information, I'm going to attempt to gift some posteo
accounts.

Thank you Adfeno.
a. is not an option (as a figure of speech), as I really need this job.
Terrible salary, not very interesting, but considering my limited skills and
my family situation. I'd rather loose some of the freedom related to the use
of Nvivo than to become a destitute man again
Thanks for sharing the link. I put my 2c in to get the discussion rolling.
Would be cool if other people on this forum would blow that thread up.
There is already quite a lot of very good libre softwares for quantitative
data analysis (R, Gephi, etc.). Unfortunately, qualitative data analysis is
seems not to be as much popular amongst developers. Patientia!
I've installed the newest linux libre kernel but nothing changed
Document formats: .doc vs .odt. (share, collaborate, review, coerrections
etc) journals not accepting . odt or .tex
Network: only MS VPNs, no access to network; disk space, resources, printers
etc
I have been *THIS* close to give up (on my work computer)
Thank you GNUbahn. As you said, it is very difficult to work as a libre
software idealist. At least, this is how I felt since I've started being a
researcher in 2006.
Magic Banana, thanks for mentioning KNIME. It looks very different and
oriented on data mining.
Here is what I would need for this project in sociology. We have to analyse
thousands of sources (documents) produced mainly by or on journalists :
videos, editorials, audio interviews with
Posteo actually offers the option of paying totally anonymously by cash. You
can send your cousin to pay or even send cash in an envelope. The also offer
encryption of all data on their disks (with the downside of no back up)
I think the (little) money serves a very good purpose.
Transana is to my knowledge the only open source program that handles
qualitative analysis at the highest level. It works with text, still, audio
and video and manages up to four media files at a time.
I asked the developer about the chances that it'll come for Linux: He was not
optimistic

They do cost money, but it's negligible. The problem is more
Mangy Dog, thank you. I tried to use KVM, but I can't make it working on my

my only problem with tutanota, is that they support proprietary operating
systems more than free ones and that they have no debian or ubuntu support.
also, it would be better if they used AGPL3 as their license, but mostly it

We have our disagreements on things, but it is good that you support free

I run my CAQDAS in windows under VirtualBox. It works quite well.
Btw, instead of NVivo (which my department uses) I use Transana because it is
