Is
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
a good idea?
Also, if their workflow is still dependent on proprietary apps, then
switching the OS won't do much good. Also, switching the OS will make
them feel like they're "finished", and they'll slow down on their
progress.

Why does the employee have to use their company's chat program on a
personal device?
Most companies keep everything self-contained, on company equipment, so
that user freedom would remain the same regardless of the software
running on them.

If you're not interested in learning English properly, then don't do activist
work that requires skills in English. There is plenty of good you can do with
Cantonese, like just spreading the basic idea of libre software through
Cantonese. Or you could take up programming; no one cares how
Processor Speed is so important for me
If I understand you correctly, you desire a libre sources-based rolling package
manager. If this is true, I think you might be pleased by Guix. Perhaps you
would achieve more by helping to package for Guix than by starting a similar
project from scratch.
dist-upgrade also removes some packages but mostly just aging ones, where
full-upgrade may even conflict your essentials, so full-upgrade is very risky
and never a good idea.
I have also installed the two nonfree systems, namely Sabayon and Calculate,
both are the Gentoo forks, and I need them to study the Gentoo ecosystems to
make ease of my sources-based system as what I’ve announced in my thread.
Just no longer tell me I need more English tutoring which I’m still nowhere
to be tutored more unless the unreasonable education systems in my place was
already over, and they don’t treat educations to be serious and they’re
always needed to be overloaded under the heavy exam practices.
Big sacrifice? Unclear what you’re saying, but I just sacrifice little
which the iwlwifi card is my only nonfree hardware, and I just don’t need
any nonfree apps for my daily practice.

Ubuntu users of the 64-bit x86 architecture (aka, amd64) can expect updated
kernels by the original January 9, 2018 coordinated release date, and sooner
if possible. Updates will be available
Good thinking! Thanks! That's what I'll look for.
Re EOMA-68 computer cards & devices. Luke has opportunity for some
interesting cpu cards and theres a team developing risc cpus in India
which i believe have a mandate and the money from the gov to make free
cpu’s targeted for things like laptops and other computers a society needs.
See for india

There was bluegps app for using a bluetooth gps receiver on

it appears that full-upgrade exists: $ man apt
but I do not really use it.
full-upgrade (apt-get(8))
full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove
currently installed packages if this is needed to upgrade the
system as a whole.
Everyone is having a metldown because Canonical has not released fixes yet.
The bigger question is: When will Canonical fix it in Ubuntu? Trisquel
inherits security updates from Ubuntu so *THAT* is the question you want to
be asking.
I indeed did not understand it right. There are currently three demonstrated
ways to do a Spectre attack. AMD is quite fine ("near zero risk") after a
kernel patch solves one of these ways (which can therefore be solved through
a software update, unlike the other ways):
Hardening is, well, making harder, not impossible, to make a Spectre attack,
whereas the KAISER patch makes Meltdown attacks impossible... at the cost of
a performance penalty.
It might be senility or I suddenly can not understand English, so I will just
copy and paste here..
The bounds check bypass has also been shown to read kernel memory on Intel
and AMD processors. Importantly, this does not work on AMD processors in
default configurations. The
Oh! But according to:

https://spectreattack.com/#faq-fix
Is there a workaround/fix?
There are patches against Meltdown for Linux ( KPTI (formerly KAISER)),
Windows, and OS X. There is also work to harden software against future
exploitation of Spectre, respectively to patch software
yes its sudo apt full-upgrade
Instead of 'sudo apt-get full-upgrade', you mean 'sudo apt full-upgrade' or
'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade', don't you?
They are getting patches against Meltdown. No software (including firmware)
update can solve Spectre.
" It has been said throughout the ages, that there can be no victory, without

Just like all Free GNU/Linux Distros, we should give a big sacrifices to gain
our liberty.
As you know the new processors has a big vulnerabilitys founded in the last
days cause a big problems in user
So Windows, linux kernel, iOS, macOS are all getting patches to help mitigate
until we can get all new chips lol. Can anyone tell me if the Trisquel update
engine has picked up anything for itself or will soon? I just want to do what
I can for my Ministry of Freedom Libreboot Trisquel Lenovo
we push the update
we use the dependencies way
Allright, thanks :)
Hi all,
Someone in another mailing list inspired me to ask the following
questions:
1. Are there free/libre device firmware and kernel driver/modules that
allow interacting with security tokens that follow the ITU-T X.509
standard? If yes, which ports they use (/e.g./: USB, custom one)?
So, you're just saying that's where your vocabulary comes from? That's
immaterial. All dictionaries contain roughly the same entries, the only
difference is spelling and a few new or uncommon words. The point is that you
need more tutoring. You're not even close to done learning English.
Sure, every adult has to make their own decision, but it is also a personal
decision whether or not to help, and nobody should feel forced to help
install proprietary software for others.
What I meant above is, for example, if somebody tells me they can use free
software for everything
You're doing better than I am then I guess!
Generally if a family member asks for help with their computer or smartphone
then I'll help them, regardless of the software they happen to be running. I
might not agree with their technology choices, but I think once we've had a
chat about it
This is very strange indeed. What is in your sources.list? What do these
commands say?
dpkg-query -l linux-libre-4.9
apt-cache policy linux-libre-4.9
I understand you both (Magic Banana and SuperTramp) but personally I choose
to help close relatives or friends install *some* proprietary programs as
long as they are making an effort to switch to free software as much as
possible. Why? Otherwise they would be using *only* proprietary
As far as I understand, there are two vulnerabilities, Meltdown and Spectre,
but two different ways to exploit Spectre were shown. And Spectre cannot be
solved through software (so no kernel configuration helps, neither does a
firmware update): only the next generation of CPUs will be
Trisquel uses Gitlab for its own development, which apparently is on an 'open
source' license and seems to work with LibreJS enabled.

we try but stil no update
its seme we will push it useing uruk apt repo
