Re: [Trisquel-users] free web host

2014-12-10 Thread jpl
A gratis web-host? That'd be rather hard to come across. The only ones I know of give you an odd domain (I.E. webiste.provider.com') and require you to use a web-builder that uses non-free javascript, and even Flash in some cases. I use Arvixe, wich isn't gratis, but is great for webhosting.

You may need to go to www.youtube.com/html5 to enable HTML5 playback. Alternatives include using Minitube or MPS-YT.

Why is there a need for a Facebook app, anywho? Wouldn't a link to the website suffice? (The mobile Android website uses no non-free JS. I find this to be a good work-around for websites with non-free JS. Change your user-agent to Android.)

Why would you disable Gnash? Gnash is a Free Software replacement of Flash. It's fantastic, and works with a lot of websites that otherwise wouldn't.

Well, it comes with Abrowser. If it's not Free Software, Abrowser isn't, either.

No- it uses WebRTC. I just tried it out today. It runs like magic. I used two laptops (Each with the latest Abrowser and Trisquel 7), and Hello worked perfectly.

I'm inclined to agree with Quantum. It is not an obligation for the server host to release the code they use, as long as it's possible to develop your own server by filling in the holes and reading the client's source code. If for some reason this is impossible, then there is a problem. But,

I'd say- Replicant drivers as well as support for newer devices (Most people give you a crazy look when you suggest an S2) and Libreboot.

Sure, someone could. However, based on the wiki page, it seems that the freedom aspect of the Chromebook Pixel is questionable at this point. I'll try to pick one up and take a look inside.

I think that Gnash should also be featured as important- there are people that need Flash for work or school, and it may just save them from having to use proprietary software. Last year, I needed to use a website that required Flash for school. Thankfully, Gnash worked with it. Gnash saved

I use Minitube, which is simply for watching Youtube videos- pretty much any song anyone wants to listen to is on Youtube. You can also download the songs via Minitube, and convert them to ogg, if you like.

In response to the topic's question, no, I haven't. In my two years using GNU/Linux, I've yet to run into a kernel panic, or any failure that required a restart. That's not something I can say for a certain proprietary operating system...

Popcorn Time uses a built-in VPN- combined with using purely Free Software, it'll be rather difficult to track who used it. Even if they were able to, so many people use these services it would hardly be worth the money for companies to sue.

Why? Art is non-functional, software is functional. It is vital for software to be free, but it isn't for music and art to be.

Yea, I've heard his lecture on Copyright VS Community; I agreed with it, but RMS doesn't say nor think that all music must be free.
