It actually doesn't matter - they're looking to find people to follow. Anyone on any Mastodon server can follow someone on any other.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU/Linux installation on libreboot machines
I don't think suspend works with Libreboot. Hibernate instead, it's also more secure (with disk encryption). There may be some regressions in the kernel, so it might work with one version and it might fail with another. We've shipped the system with the latest version of Linux libre, so if an older kernel works, you not unlikely discovered such a regression. Do $ man pm-action for more information. As for the condition of the laptop, when did you purchase it? We haven't been selling "as-new" laptops for months now, such machines aren't available any more. Great effort goes into refurbishing, much more than it had to e.g. a year ago, but we can't work miracles and the price still needs to stay reasonable. The wording is "Please keep in in mind that even though we sell only A to B grade refurbished laptops, they have been in use before; you're not buying a new laptop, most of them have been produced between 2008 and 2010 and have been in heavy use. There will be blemishes on some laptops. The screen might be not what you would normally accept, in this case please consider buying your laptop with a new screen and it will be good for another 10 years. Laptops we source that are below our standards, will be used for parts only." If you're unhappy, you can always ask for another machine or a refund if that would make you happier. We want to only have happy customers, and that's not an empty phrase.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU/Linux installation on libreboot machines
> I just received my first librebooted machine, the X200 Thinkpad. Thank you vikings! You're most welcome! =) > 1. How much of a hit does performance take with full disk encryption? My past experiences show that performance does take a very significant hit when encrypting /home. But maybe I was doing it wrong? My new X200 feels really fast and responsive, but I didn't try anything more demanding than using abrowser yet... That's because the X200 is a reasonably fast machine. Still. After all these years. Performance will drop with full disk encryption, mostly when accessing storage. If you want to know how much, simply run a benchmark and compare an encrypted to a non-encrypted system. > 2. How difficult is it to install a GNU/Linux on the X200 with libreboot? I read the documentation on libreboot.org and it mentions typing in commands in the grub menu, and manually creating a grub configuration after install to get a bootmenu and prevent manually typing boot commands each time. Is that actually required for all machines with libreboot? You install GNU/Linux on a system with Libreboot as on any other machine. There is no need to change GRUB in the payload to install GNU/Linux. But you can, and that is reasonably well described on the Libreboot website. Note there are many ways to do full disk encryption...

Re: [Trisquel-users] Problems after update
"Personally, I'd remove Dropbox because it is proprietary software, but I don't think that any of your startup programs are causing this problem." I've been wanting to navigate away from this for a while, but it is convenient. I've had a look at sparkleshare - would this be a better option?

No such problem on the (all Trisquel 8) systems I administrate.
