Sort of makes sense to prioritize it for 28 I think.

Re: What is the universal (world wide) understanding behind degaussing harddisks?

Haha indeed. I am sure I would love to give advice about anything from dining 
room etiquette to how to wax floors but I'm definitely not equipped to give 
proper advice. I can also give financial advice and relationship advice but it 
is probably not very good advice. 

I think the best we can do for this question is tell the OP what we expect and 
how we'd handle this situation given the limited information. Probably not very 
helpful to OP. 

Sincerely,

Re: HYPERKITTY does not show messages parts being addressed in replies.

It is just my luck that I'm very good at proving myself wrong. Had I not quoted 
anything (like I initially proposed), people would see just a lone "Thank you, 
Bill" with no context. 

I learned something new. Thanks, hyper kitty :p

Re: alternative to skype

I have had some positive feedback saying this here and while it is a bit 
extreme I think it is also a good compromise. 

Don't quote the entire email. In fact, don't quote anything at all when you 
reply. On k-9 mail there's a little x button (in the default config) that I can 
click to get rid of all the quotes text. 

I think we should always do that except when you want to call attention to a 
particular snippet (I hope no more than about three lines). 

I love you all.

Yeah, if just use the website and never open the app it is fine. 

Also pidgin is a great idea to talk to people who are on Skype. Ideally though 
when we say alternatives to Skype I assumed we meant we are replacing both ends 
of a conversation.

Re: alternative to skype

[chicago]

I think both top posting and bottom posting are asinine. The correct answer is 
to delete the quoted text and reply. 

If there's something you're replying to in particular, maybe quote that one 
line but there's no need to quote the entire thread so far in every email in 
the thread. 

Just my not so humble opinion. 

I love you all xx.

I think you need to be here in the US to register a new number though? Also if

Re: is there such a thing as a linux "user profile"?

[chicago]

You can configure multiple ssh keys but that's an ssh profile. Also you can 
have separate Firefox prprofiles but I doubt they mean that. 

I think a standard "profile" would be a great idea but it would need buy in 
from everyone. 

Cheers!

There is a new signal desktop built with electron or something but no fedora

My main purpose is to get it usable again, preferably with Fedora
27, if that's possible. (I run F27 on all our other machines.)

I'd prefer to examine it first, if there's a way. If I run a USB
cable between it and a F27 PC, can I then mount it as if it were a
storage medium and display the contents??

Fwiw, it mounted and opened UBCD; but when I chose "CPU Info"
from UBCD's menu, it flashed up something about "stress" -- and then 
went

black.


Sorry for asking the obvious
but http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T42 says
you have a Pentium M.

Did you download the i386 iso?

For what it is worth, I am using Firefox nightly. Definitely not secure but 
more people using nightly helps make Firefox more reliable.

Re: Password Managers

I don't speak from any authority but I'm not surprised. I mean we can't even 
decide on a single clipboard. There is an x clipboard and the window manager 
has its own clipboard. 

I'm amazed every day things work as well as they do with people like these 
making decisions.
