finicky.  Do you recommend this printer?  Is it tedious to get working?

I think that it's worth having this kind of discussion.

I didn't ask for help to use YouTube, IE, etc.  I just wanted to talk about  
whether Youtube/Google might give its web browser preferential treatment via  
YouTube.  And what the boundaries are, if there are any here.


[Trisquel-users] an observation about YouTube

2017-10-03 Thread adel
Today I opened YouTube in Internet Explorer on a Microsoft Windows Vista  
computer.  The "full screen" button in YouTube's JavaScript (?) video player  
was greyed out, and I couldn't watch videos in full screen mode.  At the top  
of the website, a narrow banner recommended Google Chrome.


Is there a reason that Google/YouTube won't do full-screen video in Internet  
Explorer?  I wondered whether Youtube/Google was diminishing compatibility  
with their competitors' web browsers to give their own web browser an  
advantage in the market.  Maybe the full-screen button was greyed out because  
I did something wrong, maybe something to do with Vista not being supported  
any more (is it?), or maybe there's some other reason for YouTube's lesser  
functionality on Internet Explorer.


Any thoughts?  Has this happend with others' Internet Explorer, Safari,  
Firefox, etc?  Are there laws (which countries/etc?) that restrict or  
prohibit preferential treatment like this might be?


Although not exactly the same, it reminds me of Microsoft's HTML situation:

[Trisquel-users] email clients

My email inbox has limited memory.  I would like to set my email client to  
download (and then delete from server) emails that are older than ...  say  
... 10 months.  I use Sylpheed with IMAP right now; willing to change to a  
different email client if another client can help me manage my inbox better.



If I change computers, will I need to import the emails to Sylpheed (or  
Thunderbird, etc) specifically or can I pick up and continue with a different  
email client?  Once old emails are downloaded (say with Sylpheed), can I  
identify and view emails with a text editor or word processor?  I guess that  
there's no advantage to being able to open emails with a text editor if I can  
import those email files to a new email client right?



Also let's say that one day I decide to learn how to use encrypted email.

for encrypted email than others?

Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU won't let Libreboot leave. Ruben mentioned again in statement for his involvement.

2016-09-25 Thread adel
If society (where this happened) decided that the alleged bad behaviour  
warrants accountability, then the complainant can identify her forum and  
start that process.


If there's a civil claim then both sides would have the discovery process.   
If an administrative tribunal complaint, the tribunal might have some process  
to ensure fairness too.  If criminal then the he's alone against the state  
and to balance that he wouldn't have to say anything at all.


But right now it's an accusation outside of any defined processes.  Yet there  
might still be consequences.  If he responds, is it possible that his  
response could fuel more comments about this on the Internet?

"For me, Leah's story about the ex-employee rings true as I can imagine folks  
being hateful and ignorant in situations like that. IT HAPPENS at every  
workplace. I think this is the reason it potentially rings true to all of you  
as well, either because you've seen this kind of discrimination (sexism,  
transphobia, misogyny, racism, classism, etc...) yourself or you've done it  
yourself."


Just because something happens generally, doesn't make it right to attribute  
that social dynamic to the individual accused people in this situation.

It's patronizing and maybe unfair to attribute Leah's comments to "problems"  
(personal, mental health, whatever), I think.  I agree with you in principle  
though ... everyone has problems and goes through difficult times.  Great,  
now I'm patronizing and unfair too.


Leah's allegation is more a conclusion than her version of the facts (I only  
know what I read in this topic).  There's nothing substantive for the FSF to  
respond to.  It doesn't tell us much that the FSF's conclusion is the  
opposite of Leah's, except that it is the opposite of Leah's.


I can't help but wonder whether there is more to this story.

It's reassuring that you have not had any big problems with Parabola.  I will  
back up regularly so that if something goes wrong, I can use a different  
computer until I figure out how to get Parabola working properly.  Thanks for  
your reply Eemeli.

Thanks again Luke.  I appreciate your thought process for sourcing parts.

I hope that I can make Parabola work; I will think about whether to choose  
Parabola or Debian (if Debian, I will install the RMS program on my own).  I  
will need Microsoft and Adobe for work, and will use a different computer  
when I need their programs.


I hope that the developers of programs like Parabola (and Trisquel) gather  
enough of a following to run successful businesses on their work.  The  
volunteer aspect is cool, but like you said our community can only count on  
that so much.

Sorry for all the questions -- and thanks for taking the time to answer ...  
just a few more from me


For the laptop, does the LCD connect to the Computer Card via a LVDS?  Will  
your business sell different LCD screens (perhaps higher res, perhaps just  
replacement screens) in the future that we can buy and swap in to the current  
laptop body (perhaps with a case mod, perhaps not)?


Will your business sell replacement keyboards, batteries, wiring, battery  
controllers(?), etc?


Is Parabola appropriate if I want a stable, reliable OS to use for work?  I  
have heard over the years that Parabola is for advanced computers and that  
people who use Parabola must regularly fix bugs because Parabola gets all the  
newest updates.  I am fairly novice and  won't have time to learn how to fix  
bugs ... reliability is really important to me.  Would Debian be safer in  
this regard?  How can I use Debian while sticking with Trisquel's principles?

Thanks Luke.

Could you post a pic of the material if you have a chance, and how the  
material(s) might correspond to the laptop:

A funny thing happened with my iMac recently.  I tried to boot Uruk with the  
F6 procedure.  It didn't bring up the menu to turn off nomodeset.


The iMac doesn't have an eject button for the DVD drive.  So ... when I turn  
it on it tries to boot Uruk, but doesn't, and I can't eject the disc to  
escape from this loop!

I tried to run live/install Uruk, but I get an error message (below) that  
stops me just after GRUB.  This is on an iMac if that makes a difference.   
Any ideas on what might be wrong?
