Re: [Trisquel-users] Home Folder In Places Points To Disk Usage Analyzer
No, the file browser is fine. I can't seem to drag and drop anything on the pull down menus of the menu bar... Is there a way for me to just reset the bar, or perhaps maybe delete some config somewhere?
[Trisquel-users] Re : Home Folder In Places Points To Disk Usage Analyzer
Does the same happens in the file browser? If so, fix it there. You can drag and drop folders to the left panel.

If you have any better idea let me know. If you want scripts to handle the table, having tab-separated values (you may want to use commas in the cells) looks like a good idea. What scripts are you considering? I can potentially help with Shell or AWK scripts. For visualization, a script can convert the table into a HTML table.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Web Browser
This is nonsense. There is sense: the telemetry component of Firefox sends anonimized data that help Firefox's development, safe search warns about phishing and malware, etc. I am honestly tired of reading preaching about the 4 divine commandments which nobody cares to exercise in practice and just waits for the next listed recommendation. Firefox used by anybody to browse any site is freedom 0 in practice. Administrations and companies customizing Firefox for their needs are exercising freedom 1. Firefox in the repository of GNU/Linux distributions is freedom 2 in practice. And, again, Firefox's forks are freedom 3 in practice. Forks have arisen. Some claim they fix the issues. And they don't. And you still defend their bible. What fork I defended? I do not defend Firefox's default configuration either. Even less its adoption of EME. I defend the free software definition, which has nothing to do with what the software does but that you keep on blaming for not providing you the software you want. You just sit and evaluate what another one does and whether it conforms to the 4 divine commandments or not. And although I have asked a question explicitly saying to leave for a moment these 4, you are back to all that. You asked "Where is the community who has the 'freedoms' to modify things when such critical issue is found?" and I only replied to that. Now you wrongly claim the four freedoms are not "exercised in practice". So, you (not me) are the one "back to all that". You blame the free software definition for not providing you the software you want. If the community does not bring you the software you want, it probably is because it has different views than yours. "Different views than yours" is what you call "nonsense". Like I have said since the beginning of this thread, the privacy concerns you raise are interesting. I hope your advocacy will lead to more privacy-respecting Web browsers. Unfortunately, labeling every opinion different than yours as "nonsense" is not helping... I also hope you will eventually understand that "privacy" and "freedoms" are orthogonal issues. Imperfection (what includes privacy issues) is not the same as oppression. In other words, imperfection is not a reason to blame the free software definition, which has nothing to do with what the software does.

As a result capacitor and ram prices have shoot up by a *huge* amount. *-In this last revision, luke also switched to multiple smaller odd vale caps that did not have the/same price increases. There is also a little technical benefit of doing this on the bright side. *-Current discussions/lukes facing that he will have to drop ram down from 2GB to 1GB. As there is not the budget to pay for huge extra price increase and its too $$$ messy to do separate boards with smaller amounts of $$ 2GB ram for those that badly want it. Some are keen to raise funds for 2gb ram, luke says someone else needs to do this other than him, if thats whats wanted. *Im not sure... maybe it was he might get prototypes back before china new year ? if not post china new year...? i forget *Talks,discussions,collaboration new soc dev effort with team funded by gov in india. * Busy getting ready for FOSDEM err guess i have missed things, gives ya idea of where things are. umm hopefully by end of year we should have a20 cpu cards and micro desktop. i suspect they may well come before end of year :).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Downloading videos from youtube with "$ avideo *video-url*" gives me only the sound.
mps-youtube is a cli program that searches YouTube for videos to stream with your preferred player. It is similar to youtube-viewer. With both programs, I have found that mpv works better than vlc. youtube-dl and avideo are a little different in that rather than provide your media player with a url to stream from they download the content and save it to disk, but it sounds like even these downloaded files work better in mpv than vlc. Perhaps there is something about the format of YouTube videos that vlc has trouble with. Regardless of the reason, it sounds like the problem is solved if you're happy with mpv.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
In case you (or anyone else) have misunderstood: I am not trying to replace the 4 so called freedoms - neither lightly, nor in any other way. They obviously have their place and value. What I am saying is: 1. I question and am quite reluctant to the usage of the word freedom for something that is really a permission. Freedom is beyond words, beyond definitions. It cannot be limited in a shape, listed in a license and all that. I don't know why the word freedom has been used when these 4 permissions were established - whether it was because it sounds more appealing to say 'freedom' than 'right' or 'permission'. Maybe it was aimed to attract, maybe it was just superficiality, maybe an outside influence, maybe a bias, maybe an expression of a rebel, maybe nobody even thought. I don't know. But the fact is - this is really a set of very specific permissions. I am spending time on this again because I think that if we really want to go deep into things we must be very careful with words because the word is not the thing which it describes. It is just a description. If the description is tinted even slightly - that matters a lot when subtleties are discussed. 2. We need something much more than the 4 FSF permissions. They are obviously not enough. The world of technology is not becoming more free, on the contrary - more and more problems pile up. I have created a separate thread about that - so far nobody expressed any interest to share a thought. 3. I am not coming with a ready proposal. If anyone is waiting for a proposal that means the person is not serious enough to explore. It really turns into consumerism - waiting for the product to be replaced with a better one, so one can consume the new recommended thing. This pattern is in itself prone to fail. It always leads to exploitation, dependency - not freedom. When I ask certain things it is to invite the other person to break the pattern and question for himself. Sharing is possible when we are with the same energy, at the same time and we need that energy of togetherness because a single person can do nothing in this world. When someone starts to present clever arguments coming from the safety of past knowledge, from the authority of another or from one's own authority - that is selfishness, not togetherness. It can never create the explosion which is necessary to change things radically. --- Back to browsers: The discussion with the authors of pyllyukko user.js lead to the idea to create a matrix comparing the settings of different similar projects, including Tor. So they suggested that I create a repository on GitHub where this matrix can be maintained and updated easily when new browser versions appear. Obviously I will have to learn how to use git.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
Heather, I am glad to see you are not just a mechanical being using a keyboard and it is really good that you are critical. But perhaps it would be better not to turn it into some drama. I have never felt abused by your words or anything like that, so there is no need to torture yourself about that. Perhaps you focus too much on the person and that creates a lot of confusion in you. The person is not important but what he shares may be important (or not, depending on the reader).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
(Posting to main thread in order to reset thread indentation that gone wild.) It's like comparing the constitution to actualities of life. Both sides have their point, but no constitution can achieve a perfect system, and no irregularities of actual life invalidates a good constitution. Sticking to one POW at the cost of ignoring the other, leads to parallel monologues instead of a dialogue, and nothing useful can be expected to come off of this. Heyjoe I admire your intelligence and the way you handle an issue in its width and depth. But please don't overlook the subtle difference between the theory (of freedom, aka the constitution, aka 4 freedoms) and the practical problems that arise in real life. I am fully with you in that there *are* some serious security and privacy problems yet to be solved in FOSS, and I am not claiming that the 4 freedoms make for a perfect constitution, but it is the best so far man has developed. It's still in evolution. So, on one hand, pointing out some actual problems (which are indeed serious) is not an excuse to throw the whole constitution. To be able to do that, one should invent an alternative better than the original. And on the other hand, having a good constitution is not an excuse to take real life irregularities lightly. Both sides need to look from both angles, I believe. Instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater (for both parties), it might be more fruitful to try to *tune* the thing. A new rule needs to be added to the constitution? One of the rules need to be changed in some way? These are all good subjects for discussion. Rules can be pitched against actual problems, and vice versa. From this, better rules - hopefully - emerge. I'm all in for it. At least it can lead us to grasp just how big a quagmire the freedom issue is. That it cannot be completely and simply solved by a short list of rules, that the constitution only provides for a base to build sophisticated eco-systems on, that a web of peripheral rules (continually tuned with changing times) is necessary, etc. Either top-down (from constitution to real life) or bottom-up (real life to constitution) design is possible. But before trying to replace the 4 freedom rules we happen to have, I think I ought to point out that there should have been an *immense* cumulative brain-power invested in those rules, which are evolved, tested and rugged by time. We can point to a specific real life problem and make an adjustment to the rules accordingly - only to find later out that our modification backfires on many other fronts. So, it must be a very, very delicate process to tune it. But the whole subject is a very good food for thought anyway.
Re: [Trisquel-users] family privacy Again
On 01/30/2018 01:45 AM, Heyjoe wrote a post that was apparently directed towards myself, the owner of the "Heather" account on the Trisquel Community peer-support forums, but I'm probably going to answer very imperfectly and over time so here goes: You said: I don't know how you will filter GSuite email addresses with custom domain names So I probably shouldn't say that I don't either, but will you tell me how when you figure it out? Unfortunately, I have a problem with saying things like that. I'll work on it. You said: Landline phones are also eavesdropped, regular mail can also be unsafe, your pigeon can be caught etc. So I said: Yeppers. I think they call that "history". Obviously you don't need a condescending tutorial from a random stranger on the internet, which is a huge relief because there's a zillion things I'd rather do today than THAT again. I said: why feed the mafia if you don't have to? So you said: The right question is: But I don't want to derail akito's thread by saying what I think of (expletive deleted) suits and ties who want to "volunteer somewhere they can help the poor" and don't even know that Horatio Alger wrote fiction and think they have the right to tell me what I'm supposed to think and feel just because I cared more about the fate of the human race than wearing a suit and tie to work when I was in college. You can thank my mates, Supertramp and Mason, for that, not our moderator, David, who has better things to do with his time than issue me "warning points" and temporary three day bans, capiche? This isn't facebook, dude, it's a peer support forum for the Trisquel operating system.[1] You said: how do you communicate with people who like to do it. Will you isolate yourself[2] or will you give in? Or something else? So I said: Oh, something else, but I'm sure ymmv and other folks here who make up the collective "we" of the Trisquel boards will be along shortly with more helpful and relevant answers to your rhetorical question. I already said: If you have already explained why friends don't let friends use gmail and the person isn't listening, is that really someone you want in your life? So you said: Are you suggesting that one should remove people from one's life because they use Gmail or Facebook? What if those people are your family? Do you want them out of your life because they don't conform to your *idea* about *serious* life? So I laughed so hard at myself you wouldn't believe it even if it wasn't true and felt so grateful for my mates here on the Trisquel community peer support forums, because this is EXACTLY what Supertramp and Mason meant when they refused to accept my well-intentioned apology for being such an idiot sheeple with all the tmi that's still in the Troll Lounge and expressed their own fears that the owner of the "Heather" account might actually be more like a canary in a coal mine. Did you read the old thread that inspired akito to make the original post on this thread? I'm just curious, because I sure did leave a lot of bruises to kick on it, didn't I? Seriously, Joe, no hard feelings about any of this and I'm not even angry at you, just trying to answer your questions honestly and publicly. You said: Such computer simply doesn't exist. Nobody can give you that service. So I said: But you are speaking to me in front of people who wish that they could. I am very protective of them right now and some of them are very tired from coding an emergency patch for the Spectre/Meltdown vulnerabilities. Please try to remember that when you address me specifically or other experienced users on tech forums who do not actively write software, documentation, or have other normal(ish) volunteer(ish) part-time job(ish)s. Nobody can fire me, personally, from the desk job I don't have, take away property I don't have, or hurt the wife I don't have if I get rid of my computer and spend that time trying to grow petunias instead. Please remember that this is not true for people who I, the owner of the "Heather" account, care about. You said: So what will you do? So I said: The same thing people have always done in similar circumstances. Most likely no better or no worse than anybody else. If my family and country abandon me and everybody in my afk world tells me that I'm less than a cockroach, I am going to love and protect my developers and fellow free software users because they would be all I had left. This is not something a Windows user should reasonably be expected to understand. I'm putting the footnotes in The Troll Lounge, Joe, since that's where they belong. I'll edit on the forum when this posts so I can link you. How are we doing so far?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Lightweight Browser
Qupzilla (Falcon)? WebKit based, not much plugins but essential ones are there, is fairly compatible (better than Midori in my experience), fairly lightweight (memory footprint approximately half of Firefox and twice of Midori or so) One drawback (from my POW) is that it is being integrated into KDE. The author specifically states that "there will be no hard dependencies on KDE libraries" but already there are efforts for kwallet integration. Actually in Debian, kwallet was first added as hard dependency to qupzilla, only recently reduced to "recommends" (which still translates into hard dependency with Debian's default apt settings). Things may get out of hand and Qupzilla may become just another Konqueror (from KDE suit dependencies perspective). I hope it won't. http://blog.qupzilla.com/2017/08/qupzilla-is-moving-under-kde-and.html Also there is netsurf but I haven't tried is as yet. I gather that it is somewhat on par with midori. Midori itself is already a very good compromise (functionality vs resource consumption) and would probably have been better than qupzilla, if only it was not orphaned for years. It is so promising a platform that I'm wishfully sure someone will pick it up and continue its development.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Lightweight Browser
You can try Seamonkey/Iceape - it is also a Mozilla based browser which is compatible with most add-ons. If you want a browser based on older ESR Firefox (version 52) you can try IceCat/Iceweasel. If you want a browser similar to Abrowser but with support for legacy add-ons you can try out Waterfox. Another option is the Epiphany/Web browser which like Midori is based on WebKit (but currently supports less extensions).

[Trisquel-users] Re : Web Browser
Where is the community who has the 'freedoms' to modify things when such critical issue is found? There are many Firefox forks, what would be impossible without freedom 3. If none fixes what you call "critical issues", it is because their communities do not see those as critical issues. Thanks to freedom 3, another fork can arise to fix the "critical issues". You can push in that direction or, like you do (and it is indeed better to not scatter the development effort), try to convince the developers of Firefox (or of one of the derivatives) that the issues you point are indeed critical and ought to be addressed, despite the associated loss in functionalities.

It is the dark theme, which comes with Abrowser (nothing to add).
Re: [Trisquel-users] family privacy Again
And that removes Intel ME and proprietary firmware? Or Spectre? You see - you are still thinking in terms of *I* and *me* although I explained that on the other side of the wire there are millions affected by those systems. It is beyond your resources, beyond your little libre system. I don't know if you really understand the depth of the whole issue.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
Please, if you don't mind: I have already given a scenario + questions about that specific scenario. You are creating another scenario and arguing about different questions that arise from it. This is meaningless. In an oppression regime you have no rights and no freedom. In a community without Internet you don't need to worry about the browser connecting to Amazon or Google. There is nothing to discuss there, so let's not go off into something else. Please look at what I am actually asking (if you want), don't invent other things, don't argue for the sake of defending what you were told to be right. Kindly also note that the same persons who tell you about all the things you defend wrote: "If you're looking to surf the web at speed, but with a concern for your privacy and safety at the same time, look no further than GNU Icecat." (https://www.fsf.org/working-together/gang/icecat) A simple test proved that it is not true. IceCat makes connections in the background and it doesn't even ask the user if he wants that or not. This is exactly the situation "the software is using me, I am not using the software". So the bolded statement on FSF's page is an irresponsible one because it does not show the actuality. It crease a false sense of security which is worse than knowing something is insecure. They were informed about that. Still - do you see any article saying "We were wrong, actually IceCat connects to Akamai without your knowledge"? It has been more than a month. How many people in the so called community have even offered a workaround (e.g. through user.js or about:config)? Where is the community who has the 'freedoms' to modify things when such critical issue is found? You see - giving talks repeatedly about how bad all this is and then offering a product which does it is an obvious contradiction. It may not be deliberate and due to inattention but inattention itself is irresponsibility. Without being absolutely sure about things one should never recommend things, especially beautiful fantasies. Yet there are those lists of endorsements and recommendations which so many people here seem to easily fall into. So if you are serious - forget about what others have said. Don't follow "look no further" instruction but look further, go beyond. Use your eyes and your brain.

Re: [Trisquel-users] family privacy Again
I would remove their contact resources/forms/ways that are not *federated* (this is a little beyond free/libre software as a product, and is very important, see: [1], it belongs to a subset of the free/libre software as philosophy). Email is, at least by design, federated, so you don't need to remove their emails. Besides, it's possible to do such split by sender address. Email clients which support "splitting" and "scoring" allow you to do this. For example, Gnus, the email and news client that comes installed with GNU Emacs by default. I don't particularly use it because I don't receive emails from the "big players" that frequently, at least not directly, just through discussion/mailing lists.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
Yes, you need to have them available, not because you'll necessarily use them, but because someone else will, be it the person who gave it a copy, the other which received a copy from you, the thirty fifth genration of people who receive copies from your generation. You never know the econimic and social scenario these people will be under, they can be in a desert, a censorship regime or a place without Internet. At the same time their status presses them, the restrictions on freedom 2 and 3 would also do the same in such status. What good would it be if a given person in a community without Internet would be forbidden to distribute original and modified copies? Even if the person doesn't do such things and instead goes on into "doing fixing service" for that software, it would again be characterized as distribution (because the person already knows what to do, so they do it over and over). As for the distribution of originals, it all goes back to the pressed situation again, because the person could help others which are under such case too but which aren't fortunate enough to have such software to help their daily lives. In all cases, the second half of "distribution", selling, is also important, otherwise how would that person reward himself for the work they do in that scenario? 2018-01-29T23:30:29+0100 stu...@anchev.net wrote: > If a program is good (works as expected, doesn't spy or damage data) > and gives you freedom 0 and 1 - do you really need freedom 2 and 3? > -- - https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno - Palestrante e consultor sobre /software/ livre (não confundir com gratis). - "WhatsApp"?

Re: [Trisquel-users] family privacy Again
> But you can still have your email program filter out all @gmail addresses, send them to a special folder, and decide whether to reply by landline telephone, postage stamp, or passenger pigeon instead of email. I don't know how you will filter GSuite email addresses with custom domain names but even if we suppose it is technically possible, the person on the other side of the wire will still expect an email reply, not a pigeon. Landline phones are also eavesdropped, regular mail can also be unsafe, your pigeon can be caught etc. > why feed the mafia if you don't have to? The right question is: how do you communicate with people who like to do it. Will you isolate yourself or will you give in? Or something else? > If you have already explained why friends don't let friends use gmail and the person isn't listening, is that really someone you want in your life? Are you suggesting that one should remove people from one's life because they use Gmail or Facebook? What if those people are your family? Do you want them out of your life because they don't conform to your *idea* about *serious* life? And again: if you don't use Gmail but say - another service, non PRISM. There is no service provider which will guarantee you that their computers don't have Intel ME, that they run only libreboot, and that there is no proprietary firmware on any chip. Such computer simply doesn't exist. Nobody can give you that service. So what will you do?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
You are missing the point of the question. Forget about Palemoon, FSF or laws for the moment and let's look at this: If one has no security, one cannot function sanely (one becomes neurotic etc). So we as living entities need security at all levels. Suppose there is a system (program/device) which has the following qualities: 1. It does exactly what you want 2. It doesn't hide anything from you (it is open) so anyone can verify that it has no harmful effects whatsoever 3. The experts who work on the program accept bug reports and feature requests seriously 4. You have the possibility to learn and join the experts (if you want) What else do you really need?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Downloading videos from youtube with "$ avideo *video-url*" gives me only the sound.
GrevenGull, you can try forcing avideo to download a specific version of the video. Just run "avideo -F URL" to see available formats, and then run "avideo -f format URL" e.g. "avideo -f http-480 URL".
