I demand that Netflix and Hulu develop an ASCII art browser video plugin for those of us who are still using dial up!

Ok, just kidding. But really...I have been a long time Ubuntu user and would really like to switch to trisquel as I find more and more to DISABLE and uninstall to keep my computer tolerable. But I really fear that things have gone to far toward ultra capitalist, passed the tipping point to borrow the media buzzword. I mean I tried running Debian once and it was just miserable. Websites all felt broken; DVDs useless; mp3s, m4a of course don't work...unless I install about a million packages and convert my computer to Deb-buntu.

Is it just me or do terms like "technological protection measures" and "digital rights management" sound like Orwell, Rand, or Huxley made them up? I hate how corporate the internet has become, yet I want to have a computer that works for more than bitching in forums.
