so far ReTux has raised $318 with 5 days left
which is not bad considering the amount of publicity
assuming the amount of money stays around the same what happens?
wow just had a look at some new games coming out... O.O
its been so long since i played non-free games i guess i just got used to the
free ones and forgot that others existed...
"Search for "Flightgear ALS weather" in Google, too"
preferably not using Google!
apt-get update needs root privileges
Also everyone make sure to as everyone you know to submit a formal complaint
well giving up dose not help
so we have to try anyway
i still stand by 0AD and Stunt Rally being graphically very good
discourse dose look good!
the free game(with the exception of the media)
OpenSpades
has a server with a counterstrike gamemode with all the counterstrike maps
why not just make it into a script replacing sudo with gksudo
and making it run on start up?
there are some graphically good libre games like:
0AD
Stunt Rally
openspades(well... it has good lighting effects)
battle of wesnoth(had a good art-style )
M.A.R.S
Xonotic
and i am sure theres other i have not though of
and ideally we will have loads of even more amazing games but we need
so were did you hear this information?
"The EU is going to have similar software security rules 2014/53/EU (June
2016)"
I don’t see the Free Software Foundation
Publicizing http://www.savewifi.org
and that would get a lot for people to complain against it.
am i correct in thinking the FSF haven’t commented on this?
"i must use Chrome for the expermental Hmtl5 support for my class."
do you have a link to the web page this is required on?
i cant rely contact my MEP if i don’t have any sources
is it possible to let me know what the reliable source is?
i meant a link the the website so that i could look at the source code and
try to figure out why it wont run
it may be possible to get around it
well he could have answered:
Google it!
you could try posting on these forums:

"There really is no way to enjoy N64 games in true freedom is there?"
well you can run some free as in freedom programs on it.
what website?
"The EU is going to have similar software security rules 2014/53/EU (June
2016)"
do you have a source on this?
the more info you have about this the better
*i am thinking on contacting my Member of European parliament about this
just to confirm i was not recommending Google i was just using that as an
example of a worse post
"Run a modern operating system on 8 GB of RAM? WHICH?"
umm... all of them...
assuming you meant 8MB of ram
you can run a fairly modern gnu/linux distro on less than 8MB of ram
and with older gnu/linux versions you can run it on 2.5mb of ram(i tested
this in a VM)
[Someone asking about
" Are we going to have to start building our own processors, motherboards,
and video cards to keep the dream alive? "
with these new FCC rules you may not be able to make your own hardware unless
you lock it down :(
well its the fact that if you want to make the hardware you must own a very
very expensive factory for doing so
so its not as easy as smuggling drugs
maby its being used in a different way here.
in the UK i have never know it to mean anything but referring to a male.
you should upgrade youtube-dl
try running
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
"who cares if it is a jail?"
it would mean a lot of otherwise wasted machines like old microwaves, dead
hard-drives or broken toasters could be reused as for example simple video
games consoles or reused in other machines like toasters, CD players etc
also anything that in unnecessarily a

"i believe we need to get some more updated DE like Gmone 3 and KDE and MAte

i am running gnome 3 with trisquel as i post this
you can run just about any DE you want on trisquel
but it would be good if it were easier to install them

"I'm aware of devices like the EverDrive, but that would be unethical as it
is another device to allow non-free games illegally downloaded from ROM
sites."
just about any computer can play illegally downloaded ROMS
by your logic the computer your posting this on is unethical for this reason.
"i don't do \"computing\" with them"
but you can do computing with them as they are computers technically and
practically
someone got unix to run on the GBA!(non-free but with src):

and there was a BASIC Interpreter for the Atari 2600:
and Ubuntu is based on Debian
"i'm going to buy a Nintendo 64 lads"
this implies that there are no women on this forum which is untrue
Definition of lad
the GameCube can run a pretty good amount amount of free software, such as
GNU/Linux.
i looked at the source code (git clone
http://git.code.sf.net/p/gc-linux/gc-linux-2-git)
and there are quite a few non-free firmwares as ihex files
so its mostly free but still a lot of non-free firmware
And if no libre games run on it, which I think is probably the case, then
the system is completely worthless as a system for freedom-respecting gaming,
regardless.
you can program your own software for it with free software
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/N64_Programming/Compiling
but apart
With these new FCC regulations
would installing Replicant on a
phone with a wifi card be illegal?
or well installing free software on any computer with a wifi chip???
this is the impression i got from your blog:
wow lucky people!
when you goto System Settings - Screen Display
what options do you have?
so as i am selling phones with Replicant pre-installed on them
if this law is passed i would be unable to sell them as Replicant would give
you control over the device?
or just this law only apply to company’s making new hardware
so they have to make the devices restrictive from the start?
yeah i did too
but it probably helps more if you list your
reasons for apposing it
i wonder why the libreplanet page is on a archive site?
dose this link work just aswell?
https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Save_WiFi/Individual_Comments
20,000 USD!
do you have a source on that?
wait there something i still don’t get
The FCC is a USA Authority?
i am selling from the UK
would they fine me?
do they have international power?
whats it for?
if your recording pc games just use a screen recorder (gtk-recordmydesktop
works fullscreen)
and if its a games console like the snes just use a emulator
also you can just use the trisquel live cd so you don’t even need to
install it
with the exception of Google chrome
it looks great!
as well as bash you should also check out lua
which is a great scripting language!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSxoOCn6Y4E
sudo apt-get install twm
only chrome?
what reason did they give?
i would say lua's syntax is just as or clearer than python's
also its a much simpler language as so its easier to learn as a first
language
but anyway that’s just my opinion so i recommend trying both
also a great way to understand how ip addresses work is by hosting your own
webserver
here a tutorial for Ubuntu 14.04
but as trisquel 7 is based on Ubuntu 14.04 the same will apply:

How do you know your VPN doesn’t log your traffic?
VPN's are good for bypassing censorship and surveillance from company’s
like Google or yahoo but not from goverments
*also you should check your VPN's privacy policy to make sure they don’t
sell your data to Google XD
what do you need it for?
if its nothing private i could host some files for you on my server
i know ip is the acesss point to the internet
well not rely a IP address is just a number that is used to refer to a
certain computer on a network
so here is a very basic image of what most local networks look like in terms
of ip addresses (the numbers you see are IP addresses):
you don’t have to pay for a hosting service you can just host from your
home
you don’t even need a very fast connection unless your streaming HD video
etc
that’s bad :(
if you can you should protest against it.
i don’t think GNU is a trademark i have never seen (R) or TM
on the gnu logo or text
so i don’t think you have anything to worry about.
what will the book be about?
were are you buying this laptop from?
Trisquel doesn't include Adobe Flash or any proprietary pieces which are
needed for most commercial video sites.
not exactly needed youtube-dl can be a replacement for most of these sites
wow that bad?
i would of though a 2GHZ cpu could play video without stuttering even if your
gpu wont work well?
Would you recommend keeping gnash installed while using these plugins?
i personally don’t but i don’t think it would hurt.
Guess we wont have a choice when it comes to the hardware side.
we can always use older hardware
and do are best to reverse engineer newer hardware
it may be worth selling it for a machine with better freedom compatibility
like a x200 or x60
i was asking as the shop might have some more info about the laptop
i remember when i quit steam and stopped playing all my favourite games
*Such a painful time... :'(
but seriously it wasn’t that bad i got over not playing Halflife, Portal,
GTA etc etc
so just try going without all the non-free video games
and only playing libre games for a week
and you

this computer will almost certainly run a non-free bios

Welcome!
i been full out linux for a year.
the system is name is Gnu/Linux Linux is just a program called the kernel
that is part of the full system
see these web-pages:
https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU/Linux_naming_controversy
For that website and many others you can use youtube-dl
you can find info on how to use youtube-dl on this wiki page:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/play-videos-without-using-flash
also if you dont like the command line that you can use the graphical version
youtube-dl-gui of which you can also
I have never felt more locked down on an OS.
you can install adobe flash or just about anything else
we just have a policy of not recommending non-free software on this forum
and btw i highly recommend against installing adobe flash if you care about
your freedom and or privacy
also gnash is
Wow
how did you set that up?
so if you want the older versions of nautilus you can get them here:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/refs/tags
Suggestion:
this has been mentioned before on this forum

what about having some users who have been on the fourm for a while that have

why exactly do Google HP IBM and Valve sponsor debconf?
try running the command as sudo

Do people other than me use it?
i personally don’t use it a lot but its good to have for
non-technical users
yes you can share files across IRC
Use IRC?
very easy to setup(IMO)
and just can host your own server or just use the freenode server
Whatever...
have you tried compiling it from source?
they explained it
see above posts
the gnu project are already doing this by forking Firefox as icecat(aka
gnuzilla)
dose Go have any Google patenting problems?
also apparently you can make go programs for android:
https://github.com/golang/mobile
Of course most prefer C, C++, or C# with Monogame for cross-platform
releases.
id say languages like lua python or ruby are normally much easier to make
cross platform than c/c++
provided they don’t use the win32 API!
reinstall nautilus or install a different file manager?
But is it awesome enough?
are there any countries where men suffer from gender equality?
Cat Rights!
you could ask on the #trisquel irc channel
but out of interest why do you need to delete it?
well, I'm getting through this big C++ book.
If you ever need any C/C++ programming advice feel free to ask!
one very good way to keep your computer safe is only using a local network
you have control over or no network at all using only Ethernet cables on a
libre router
and just use a separate computer for any internet access that is at no point
connected to your local network
