I think you would be very fortunate to pursue such idea. In fact I also feel
the lack of such as a board purely dedicated to the free-software community.
I imagine it would be very nice to create one using a mix of what the
Trisquel forum is with somewhat of a normal image board like 8ch is.
Hi alimiracle - yes, great idea! As I was saying in this thread, I really
feel like the free software community is lacking a central discussion hub,
where new and existing ideas can be discussed openly and people who are new
to free software (or even those that don't agree with it) can be

Try to understand what we are explaining to you. JavaScript is a programming
language. A program written in that language can be free software or
proprietary software. It can even be both if it is released under two
different licenses! The same holds for any other programming language:
From my searching I am not sure if it is related to the kernel or not. This
is why I suggested trying out the live CD of Trisquel 8, since it will also
include updated versions of the bluetooth user space programs too.
You can install a recent Linux-libre kernel and see if it has a free firmware
for your chipset: https://jxself.org/linux-libre/
It may well be that no free firmware for it exists.
It would be interesting to try running Trisquel 8 from a CD/USB
stick/something like that and see if there is a difference. An ISO can be
downloaded from http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/

If you are new to GNU/Linux it is easy to be confused about the difference
between the operating system and the desktop environment, because Window$ and
macOS don't offer multiple desktop environments. You can think of the DE as

What about Startpage, then?

Minitube no longer works unless it is compiled with a Google API key that you
can only get with a Google account and would presumably identify you to
Google every time you watch a video with your build.

I mean JavaScript programs can be proprietary software. Or not. JavaScript
is a programming language. You can write proprietary software in it. Or

Now that you have a Macbook Pro 9,1, you could test it thoroughly on Trisquel

But I don't know if that's the name of the chip, or just a category of some
sort.
"Normal" probably depends. What sort of bluetooth chip is it? I imagine that
lsusb or lspci will provide some basic info. Finding the make & model can
help in figuring out if it's not working because it needs proprietary junk in
order to work (which Trisquel doesn't provide.)
I am using Trisquel Mini with a MacBook Pro 9.1 and tried the application

Btw, on StartPage.com it says "enhanced by Google". What does that mean? Are

What does that mean? That JavaScript can be? How can one not be sure if

I didn't quite understand what you meant by your text session tips. I tried

Yeah, I had no luck with minitube either :/
What's the point then if I have to go to youtube.com to get the url?
The JavaScript can be proprietary software.

If you use StartPage.com , do a search by video and there is a copy link option
on any video you click on. Paste that link in and your golden. No need to go to
Youtube.

Basically, just like you would find any other URL or website.
Cool! Both of those methods worked like a charm :)
Only problem with this method is, how do I browse to know what url I want ?
:P
Go with the default Trisquel DE.
Install mpv
sudo apt install mpv
Then launch mvp with URL (links to a Trisquel video on Youtube)
mpv https://youtu.be/tIecaLF_-x4
Or install youtube-dl.
sudo apt install youtube-dl
And download most videos.
