Hi! Youtube now uses HTML5 so you don't really need gnash to view your vids  
but that still needs javascript activated if I understand it correctly. This  
page will give you info:

Try it - with those applications you watch and download vids from YT without

Re: [Trisquel-users] dr. gnu i have to heal my apple hw how?

2015-02-25 Thread onpon4

 can I use gnu/linux on macintosh hardware safely ?

Using Trisquel on a Mac isn't going to make it blow up or anything... worst  
case scenario might be a bug in the partitioning software causing you to be  
unable to boot OS X after setting up a dual-boot, but that's really unlikely.


Linux has pretty good hardware support. AMD/ATI GPUs are unaccelerated 2-D  
only, and many wireless cards don't work at all, without blobs. But that's  
about it. The only reason Linux systems such as Android can't work on iThings  
is because of a lower-level lockdown functionality in them (restricted boot).  
The same is true of Windows phones and I think many Android phones as well. I  
don't know if restricted boot is used on some laptops and desktop computers,  
but if it is, it's uncommon.


On the other hand, for privacy, it's true that Macs aren't even close to the  
best hardware (that would be the Gluglug computers), and Trisquel isn't the  
best software (that would be Tails, though do note that Tails is shipped with  
proprietary firmware blobs for wireless cards that need them, hence why you  
don't tend to see recommendations for it here).

Phone security is a big issue these days.

My recommended solution is to get a wifi-only tablet for secure communiations  
loaded with something like a combination of Redphone and Silent Text with a  
good overseas commercial VPN and get a non-smart (flip) phone for voice and  
text when you are driving or otherwise away from your wifi.

Media Source Extensions is not the same as Encrypted Media Extensions. It can  
be used for digital restrictions, but as far as I understand, it's primarily  
used for other things. I don't know what YouTube uses it for.


In any case, it is proprietary JavaScript code which YouTube is using to  
access the MSE API, so that's a problem on its own. There's also the problem  
that the software is being automatically installed into your browser:

Probably the normal compile routine will do it as I don't see any

So,

*download the tarball
*extract it somewhere
*open a terminal window into the directory where you just extracted that  
tarball

* ./configure
* make
* sudo make install

This is how things work in the GNU build system.

Claims like this require evidence. I don't see the evidence that Purism 
is a set up by people like Microsoft or those anti-free people. If you 
know of some, I'd like to see that evidence. I also don't see the 
evidence that people in the market for an FSF Respects Your 
Freedom-qualifying laptop are fairly characterized as pissed off or 
that support for free software is reduced by Purism, regardless of what 
comes of the effort.


I see the work those against software freedom do. But that work is 
typically clumsy and usually involves the greenwashing open source 
movement (see Brad Kuhn's recent talk[1] for more on this). I don't 
think any serious anti-freedom zealot like software proprietors would 
frame their work around software freedom when the open source movement 
has had some popularity; that movement has convinced some developers to 
relinquish not only their software freedom but the software freedom of 
their users and those of users of derivative works.


Finally, it appears to me to be easier to assemble and sell laptops that 
don't even try to address a user's freedoms to control their computer. 
Companies make a great deal of money doing exactly this every day.
