anything like that.
If you decide to use SSH you should use rsync to sync files through it.
It'll compare files by date, size, etc. and make sure directories are the
same... if not, it syncs them together. Pretty great program.
Tivoization is a problem, for sure-- but as it stands, LineageOS and
AplineLinux developers (etc) only have to work around the hardware/software
restrictions on flashing a new kernel.

We use a deblobbed OpenBSD ports tree.
It's like those OEM-modified Windows images-- e.g. Dell laptop with Dell

This just brands some things (like wallpaper) "System76" and pre-installs the
System76 drivers.

Last time I tried using Tox for a/v chat, it had pretty bad quality.

That's a great idea, actually.
It's default in GuixSD, but GuixSD is niche-- Trisquel is "more mainstream"

Nope, nope, nope.
Don't support this at all. Librem has and deserves no respect or credibility.

Instead, support the Neo900-- fully free, GNU/Linux, and they clearly care
about privacy and freedom. Which Librem don't.

You aren't running GitHub's software on your computer-- it doesn't affect
your freedom. What Onpon said, basically.
Non-free services can be bad, but aren't bad inherently.
GitHub is an online service-- the source code to GitHub isn't released
publicly, and thus it is a non-free service.
This isn't necessarily bad, of course.
Oh sweet Korean Jesus, complain, complain, complain.

Yea, it's possible.
We're forking the OpenBSD ports tree as soon as a get a CVS server set up and
everything.
With this fork there'll be focus on patching things like this.
'Till then, well, perhaps you should go with Midori or Netsurf.
Yea, as metalanderish said-- Seamonkey recommends proprietary software.
Another notable abscence is Firefox, which does the same. I'm basing a port
of Icecat off of the Firefox port, though.
Thank god you extended the deadline.

Speaking of LBSD, there's now a forum set up at http://libertybsd.net/forum

Perhaps we should take further discussion to the Troll Lounge or LBSD forums
to avoid cluttering main Trisquel forums?

I actually have a Fujitsu Lifebook P1630 running LBSD. :p
Everything works as expected, including wireless. Except for the

LBSD 5.9'll be out pretty soon.
Not too much work to do, so I think it'll be ready in a week or two. ^_^
As for Git repositories I'd recommend Not A Bug (notabug.org).
It's fully Free Software and is an all-around cool public Git repo.
Could rival Github pretty well.
WikiBooks has a pretty good book on HTML:

Oh, cool!
I'll have to order one!
You should use that one (but replace 5.9 with 5.8) with LibertyBSD 5.8.
There are no package repositories for LibertyBSD-- there'll be one for the
next release, though.
I've had the same problem in the past-- updating the kernel did the trick.
You should give it a shot:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/update-linux-libre-kernel
It's only part of fvwm, sorry.
You could probably get a similar-looking workspace switcher, though. The
design's fairly generic, after all.
Yea, HD videos, 3D games, DVDs, etc work perfectly.
LBSD's never crashed or had any errors for me when running multiple programs,
or in general.
And yea, I worked on deblobbing the ports tree.
Hope you like LBSD when you do have a spare machine, mate.
I use LibertyBSD as my primary OS and it runs very well.
You should note that hardware support is worse than that of Trisquel-- a very
noticable bit that's missing is support for athn (ThinkPenguin wifi dongles).
It runs just as well as Trisquel, other than that, and follows the Unix

We need to appreciate all of Ruben's hard work and realize that we aren't

Of course there are and should be limitations on free speech-- hate speech
isn't one of them, however.
Yea, I'm against laws that prohibit hate-speech or try to regulate it.
The EU's bill sounds terrible to me...
It's not. You can completely bypass the Ubuntu App Centre to install Snap
packages.
I have to wonder, what programs would be Trisquel-specific?
Being binary-compatible with Ubuntu and without custom software being written
for it, there isn't really any Trisquel-specific software, save a few small
exceptions that wouldn't be beneficial to put in Snap packages.
If you're shooting for something like that, you're probably better off with
GNU Guix.
This is because Trisquel doesn't have systemd.
systemctl is a systemd command.
Try running it manually with "sudo start mbpfan" or enable with Upstart by
"sudo cp mbpfan.upstart /etc/init/mbpfan.conf sudo start mbpfan"
Oh, this'll be fun!
Hopefully it'll bring over some good levels for that Bonus Set!
Oh, that script's pretty similar to a technique I used to use.

geared towards Arabic now.
Yea, as root_orca said, you don't need to use Trisquel to chat with us!
Heck, I haven't used Trisquel in about eight months or so at this point. :p
If you do decide to leave anyway-- good luck, mate. :)
FSF doesn't endorse Google's actions (and continues to criticise them), so I

I'd recommend ownCloud.
IMO it's the most polished and professional fully Free Software cloud storage
platform.
It's supported by pretty much any device (GNU|Linux, OSX, Windows,
Android/Replicant).
You can host your own server or use someone else's server (often for a small
fee).

In an LTS release, you don't get the latest packages. Naturally, this means
you don't get the latest security fixes. In Ubuntu's case, the exception is
the main repository.
... this is news, somehow?
True, but it didn't say they record IP addresses.
And even so, that's a rather cumbersome method of finding someone's phone
number. That method would be more noticeable-- rogue workers snooping would
have a harder time not getting caught-- and also doesn't work for people
carrying phone
If you're having issues with wireless, this could mean that your wireless
card requires non-free firmware. If that's the case, these problems will
probably probably persist with Trisquel 8.
If your graphical issues are due to your graphics card, that means your

They store the SHA1 of the phone number-- I fail to see a privacy issue.

Snaps is nothing more than Canonical trying to make it easier to distribute
software for Ubuntu and, so it seems, with more security when used
I'd shoot for Openmailbox-- it's just a nice, polished service dedicated to
privacy and Free Software.
They even offer an ownCloud instance, which is really convenient.
Would'ya look at that-- we both joined the Trisquel forums on the same day.
What a coincidence!
I like to use the Free Music Archive.
Playing a song in-browser doesn't work without Flash, though, so you need to
download a file or stream with VLC every time you wanna preview a song. Kind
of annoying.
Codemeter is the copy-protection (DRM) they use for their software.

You could always download binary packages from the Arch repo website.
Every package listing has a "Download from Mirror" button.
Just install the package with "pacman -U" and you're done.
I have no idea why you'd want Abrowser with Parabola.
You should install Iceweasel-- it's the same as Abrowser, but with different
branding, is more up-to-date, and you won't have to compile it. :p
Isn't it fantastic how Microsoft can reap the benefits of GNU/Linux to fairly

Hey, mate.
There's a handy tutorial in the Trisquel docs:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/customizing-trisquel-iso
It looks like that'll let you do what it seems you want to do.
I can't help but think that it would be simpler (if the ISO would only be for
your own use) to install the software
Yea, Parabola has the latest packages-- it's bleeding edge.
It's light-years ahead of Trisquel in terms of package versions.
It's a great distro over-all. :)
Why wouldn't it install? Was there not enough space on your disk, etc, etc?
What error did it tell you?
When selecting "Try Trisquel 7.0" rather than "Install Trisquel 7.0" after
