Re: [Trisquel-users] Help me get rid of WhatsApp.
I read the description and it definitly says that it will send SMS messages - no internet connection requiered. So no, it's not textsecure. I also wonder why textsecure doesn't show up in fdroid. Does anyone have a solution?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Help me get rid of WhatsApp.
ok i think the fsfe says that textsecure is still flawed because it needs some proprietary google lib, but they work towards solving this problem, and THEN textsecure will be a great whatsapp alternative. So it's not there yet i guess... Until then i will stick with telegram i guess, but i'm looking forward to making the switch.
[Trisquel-users] Xonotic stabs engine developer in the back.
Xonotic is about to commit a disgusting treason. This was recorded in trepidation of their disloyalty http://youtu.be/4KbTBLRDJ9s http://opengameart.org/content/the-disgorgement-of-darkplaces ChaosEsque, ofcourse, will remain true.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Xonotic stabs engine developer in the back.
Xonotic is ditching DarkPlaces, kicking LordHavoc to the curb and saying "fk you" for all his help. (source, Mario informing of this. http://opengameart.org/forumtopic/chaosesque-anthology-opensourcefree-fps-standalone-mod-of-xonotic-released?page=3 [IMG]http://xonotic.org/static/img/carousel_weapons.jpg[/IMG] ChaosEsque will be staying with Darkplaces. This is my thoughts on all this: I suspect Xonotic will lose features rather than gain them in this move. Does this new engine support AES crypto or will that be declared an "unnecessary feature so ofcourse we're doing away with it" (ofcourse!) ChaosEsque uses such features as regular parts of the code (for petrification, perm blindness you can't get out of it by reconnecting). ChaosEsque will stay true to DarkPlaces. Infact a version that works well with older Intel GPUs has been standardized on for CE (some patches are brought backported from time to time) This concerns me. I've seen the xonotic-wiki "moved" (can't find the info I used to find easily), pages deleted (and no this is not "fine", no matter what marketspeak the new guys use. I bet the people desiring a move of engines are also comfortable with Systemd being forced into all the linux distros, and also with a removal of crypto because "who cares" "just a game" "fsck privacy" Hats will be tipped to the side: these new guys know what they're doing. I bet the Xonotic key gen server will be removed. Which is a blow to privacy as all keys will then be only self signed, which can be MitMd sometimes possibly (or atleast DoSd, think SSHv2, you can atleast DoS those, prevent connections). "Unnecessary, crypto bad, systemd and needless change good" I saw where things were headed when Xon let samual have free reign. I got off that boat and jumped in the water. It's fine. ChaosEsque will remain true to DP. There is also a maintained branch of the code which has Divverent's bendy player models. Gets updated along side -concrete. Honestly, if I were Lord Havoc I would be extremely angry and if I were him I would seek to find those responsible. My thought process would be: 1) First they destroyed Nexuiz 2) And took it somewhat away from me in Xonotic. 3) Now they are dumping my code completely after I helped them in all things. If I were him I would not let this go unanswered. I don't know how he keeps his cool or why. DP is a fine engine and I myself have not much come to it's limits yet. I doubt regular Xonotic has either, as it seems not too much goes on there these days. ChaosEsque will remain true though, and will be there when others wish to get off this cruise. I really think it's disrespectful and it's as if Lord Havoc has been used and is now being discarded. It's disgusting to me really. Someone does all that work for you and now "Fuck em, he isn't being our slave anymore"... when you could just code the features your damned self into his engine (the way opensource is supposed to work). And what is wrong with Quake One support? Like that's a bad thing "it's old"(similar argument from systemd supporters: you know, people who're on the side of mass survellance and feminism, and opposed to security and anything males might like... "good right thinking progressive individuals") I'm glad DP support Q1 well. I put in some code recently to make my mod of xonotic more compatable with Q1 maps (so they load). It's fun. This really is treason. First taking LH's project, now throwing him into the trash. Ofcourse trashing the wiki while your at in (git hub is unsearchable without google), deleting everything for zero reason (oh, progress, like SystemD). The whole way of thinking disgusts me completely. It is wrong. You shouldn't Use and THEN discard people and their products. If you're going to Use people and what they make, stay true to them. Don't be a lying scheming POS... you know? A snake in the grass kind of person. "Oh LH isn't being USSSEEDDD enough by us right now, KICK EM TO THE CURB" This is how Russia feels America did it btw. Well those are my thoughts on that. I'd like to know how Lord Havoc really feels about this. If I were him I'd be pissed and I would not let it go, nor let it stand: it would come to blows. Can't just use and then throw away people like that. It is wrong, and the people doing it need to learn that or someone needs to learn them it.

Of course it is OK. Any development team is free to make whatever technical choice looks better. And you are free to fork (and see whether other developers join you, which I doubt).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Xonotic stabs engine developer in the back.
This is one of the main problems with FLOSS in general. There are a lot of egos in a meritocracy and no one really wants to work together. This results in forking the software and now there are multiple versions of pretty much the same thing with smaller dev teams. I've noticed that unless there is a corporation or established organization backing a free/open source project, it fades away or is Terri le as it is usually a one man team where that person is a student and is doing it for ideology instead of getting the necessary resources to make something that people need on a broader scale. I've been a part of this forum for 4+ years now and have learned that the majority of die hard free software advocates would rather spend their efforts pointing fingers at you and tell you that you are wrong and unethical and their way is better. Meanwhile, nothing of substance really happens and while you are all pointing fingers, the world moves on.

You love systemd. You hate anyone not in keeping with your (feminist type) beliefs. Free/Libre/Opensource is just another "liberal social experiment" to you and just being "part" of the "group" is being an "opensource contributor" to you.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Doom/Doom II on Trisquel
I once turned down an offer to write a book on Python programming because of this principle and the publisher's unwillingness to make the book available under a libre culture license. The funny thing is that these proprietary books end up on the web anyway. A semi-libre option might have been a solution (see my post above). Personally, I fail to see how preventing commercial redistribution could be unethical.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Doom/Doom II on Trisquel
I bet, according to you, chaosesque is not libre software because the contrib (oh wait, in your world chaosesque never forked from Xontoic and has no developers (and you doubt there ever will be any) is against feminism etc. You, on the other hand, are a real free software contributor (along with debian-women, etc), nothing to show for it tho, but you have the correct beliefs in your mind. You pride yourself on that and hold yourself out as superior to scum like myself (who, thusly, is not a libre software dev, though all my code, media, music, models, maps, etc are ALL licensed gpl, cc-by-sa, bsd, etc)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Doom/Doom II on Trisquel
According to some people's feelings this isn't really a free software project because the contributor hates feminism, hates feminist women, and is in favor of men marrying young girls, and likes the old religions (such as the book of Deuteronomy) where such was par for the course. If you don't have the right beliefs, all your code, media, etc is "shit" and "doesn't exist" and "needs to be deleted" (and sometimes is: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=1310 ) That is the "free software community" today. A woman's only space (men grugingly allowed, but only if they have the correct beliefs). Magic Banana supports this. That is the kind of person that Magic Banana is. A feminist.

Re: [Trisquel-users] the Ubuntu Software Center will go to /dev/null

Re: [Trisquel-users] Xonotic stabs engine developer in the back.
Often trying to keep everyone on the same tree, insynch, is more trouble than it's worth. For one it creates a situation where everyone is waiting for the other people to implement feature X, and then feature X never gets done. For seconds it creates _enormous_ tension around the question of weather feature X should be coded at all, massive arguments, etc. Nothing gets done. And then after that... automatic merging of patches. Breaks things in subtle ways, you never get a stable piece of software, etc. No one know the whole volume of the work either in their head, as everything is changing codewise, yet nothing is getting done (just churn, because to add a NEW feature, requires consensus, so just old features are recoded and recoded and recoded and recoded and recoded and recoded). That's why ChaosEsque forked off Xonotic 2 years or so ago. Working alone is the way software can get done. Git makes this easy: fork and don't look back! Design by committie takes the only currency OSS has away: the fun of it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Mozilla decides to sign all addons / extensions.
Mozilla is not a friend anymore. Nor is "Linux" post-systemd. Mozilla is about two things today: advertisement and "progressive" (feminist/lgbt) politics. Not classical free software. This explains their actions. Just like systemd/linux, mozilla needs to be forked (and it has been: palemoon VS mozilla, devuan as gnu/linux VS systemd/linux) The forks just need to stop looking at their parent project and forge their own path.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Appelbaum on hardware on debian

[Trisquel-users] Re : Xonotic stabs engine developer in the back.
"FREESOFTWARE IS ALL ABOUT GETTING MORE DEVELOPERS" Free software is about users controlling the software. If most users want the program to evolve in a way, then it will. That is a democratic development. You can disagree with what the majority wants. You can try to convince the developers that they go the wrong way (hint: calling them "FUCKING douchebag" or "FKING PIECE OF SHT" will not work). If that does not work, you can try to find other developers who share your opinions and fork. You can even fork the software alone. That is what free software development is "all about". I've done it with multiple projects throughout the years, because I actually code. Unlike you apparently. http://dcc.ufmg.br/~lcerf/en/prototypes.html (although nobody needs to be a developer to actually want software to develop like the majority wants).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Appelbaum on hardware on debian
See. You do not care about security. Javascript runs on your computer. Not the server. It uses your CPU, and it could be anything from one day to another. Just because the it's coming from trisquel.info does not mean that it's from the trisquel.info admins. It can do anything (sandboxes can't shield you from intel's "cpu bugs", and javascript can and does exploit them). It's no surprise you accept the forced march to systemd and champion such things. Aslong as it has the right license you do not care.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Xonotic stabs engine developer in the back.
I have tried Nexuiz/Xonotic in the past, but I was honestly not that impressed. Maybe its because I played the original Quake 3 back in 1999 or so and moved on. Nowadays, I would rather play something like CS: Global Offensive or Team Fortress 2. Yeah, I know they are non-free games, but the state of free games is on life support right now. It sucks, but its just the way it is until there is someone or an organization to put forth the money and effort to create an ecosystem where free engines can be used and the authors can make money. I also don't see what the big fuss is about since you are basically taking an ancient game engine where the majority of work was done by ID Software 15+ years ago and aren't creating the engine from scratch. If you did all this yourself and are releasing it under a free license, then that is pretty awesome. You are basically piggy-backing on someone else's code and due to the license, are making changes where you see fit. What you need to do is re-evaluate what is important to you. If you want to work with others, then do it and work as a team. If you want to throw a hissy fit and fork it, then good luck to you. It gets tougher from here. If you want to be original and create something that is beneficial, then do it. No one is stopping you. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/cc18WsYnlfc?rel=0&html5=1

I think they want to move everything to Snappy with Click packages. These packages are all-in-one which will include the dependencies along with the software in one package. http://www.webupd8.org/2015/04/ubuntu-desktop-to-eventually-switch-to.html

He used a fraction of his wealth to start HBD Capital (now called Knife Capital), a Cape Town-based emerging markets investment fund. HBD has made a series of successful exits including Fundamo, a mobile financial services company which was acquired by Visa for $110 million in 2011; and csense, which was acquired by GE Intelligent Platforms the same year."

Re: [Trisquel-users] Doom/Doom II on Trisquel
The audio is very long, and goes through the history of copyright, DRM etc. What's the argument that applies here, in a nutshell? Software can be malware, but a book can't. It's just not the same category to me. (You seem to differentiate text books and manuals from say, a novel or a comic, but I'm not sure of that). If it can't be distributed commercially, It's still accessible, modifiable and can be distributed, just not for a fee. It simply prevents people from abusing the author, without restraining the user's freedom. Best of both worlds, it's fair to both parties. How is that non-ethical?

[Trisquel-users] Forum action needed (and temporary measures taken)
It would seem that the quality of this forum has been suffering from some way too personal agenda for some time, with some very evident examples in the last hours. While we decide what to do about it, I've taken some measures to clean things up a bit. We will study the situation carefully and decide on the best way of protecting the freedom of the Trisquel community without letting things become too inappropriate.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Forum action needed (and temporary measures taken)
Suggestion: this has been mentioned before on this forum to stop the problem of inappropriate posts what about having some users who have been on the fourm for a while that have the power to move inappropriate posts to the troll hole if they ever abuse this power it should be taken off them immediately but eventually you would have a few trustworthy people that can make sure no ones posting inappropriate posts.

AKA moderators.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Doom/Doom II on Trisquel
The argument is that the user achieves a work with the manual or the text book (unlike with art) and must be allowed to do whatever she wishes with it. That includes commercial activities. That is why a license that prohibits commercial usage is non-free. More generally, any "do no evil" clause makes a license on functional works non-free. The author should not impose her views on what is evil and what is not.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Forum action needed (and temporary measures taken)
What temporary measures did you take? Did you only remove the posts or did you ban the offending user? In the latter case, prepare to receive death threats in your mailbox. Like I did... That is the problem with moderation. The moderators suffer all the bad consequences. In particular, accusations of censorship (although it is not censorship: the Trisquel community is entitled to its own rules and anyone can publish whatever she wants on her own server). The current +1/-1 system has the advantage of delegating the moderation to the community as a whole. I would be in favor of only making the system a little bit more strict: a problematic user who received more -1 than +1 could have her posts hidden as soon as someone click the -1 button. As far as I remember a chat with quidam (months ago), the current can be configured in this way. No additional implementation work is needed. Banning is ineffective because a new account can be created. For instance chaosesqueteam has another account under the name vPro. With the reinforcement policy I suggest, the new account has his first offensive posts hidden as soon as somebody click the -1 button because the account is not associated with any +1 post.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Help me get rid of WhatsApp.
The unencrypted version allows you to access all your chats and uploaded media on all your devices - they're like in a cloud. If you use the encryption, the chats can only be accessed from the device that started the conversation. So it's a matter of convenience i guess.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Doom/Doom II on Trisquel
Oh, got it (at last). Thanks, for the audio links also.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Forum action needed (and temporary measures taken)
A good idea to stop spam is to enable captcha as well.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!
I got a "new" desktop from my local Good Will to use as a server. I figured I'd have some terminal fun while I was setting it up :) On a side note: If any of you live near a Good Will Electronics reseller they usually have some great equipment for next to nothing if you're working on a project that doesn't require top-of-the-line hardware.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Forum action needed (and temporary measures taken)
After deleting a certain user's posts it now looks like Magic Banana is giving a curt reply to Chris that has nothing to do with Chris' post. (Image below.) I'm sure there's many other examples. This may be a consequence of the forum software used, but it would be nice to have the offending posts replaced with "Post deleted by a moderator" or something similar.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Windows 10 has the power to remotely disable software and hardware if necessary
perhaps it is nothing new to you, as for me I think it has gotten drastically worse every version after xp, not saying the ones that came before were very good... but, windows vista, AWFUL! windows 7 not nearly as bad but still bad. Windows 8 REALLY BAD! windows 10, is it even worth mentioning how bad it is? mandatory automatic upgrades, the ability to disable remotely hardware/software for any reason that deem worthy, and of cours the features of previous windows oses of all the spying and ram eating which i can only assume is x10
Re: [Trisquel-users] Windows 10 has the power to remotely disable software and hardware if necessary
"Windows has always been bad but windows 10 takes the cake lol." Maybe for now as the current "king of the badness hill", so to speak, but just wait until it's dethroned with the next major release of Windows, though. I'd bet you'll be eating those words as it becomes even worse.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Appelbaum on hardware on debian
Personally I think this looks bad on Applebaum. I've tried to refrain from criticizing him over it for a variety of reasons. One I didn't actually know if he really did take money from Todd and provide advisement early on.. but even if he did I'm not sure thats a crime in my book to begin with. Thanks for that feedback. I'd like to know more about why Appelbaum would connect himself with Purism. If there's any more you can share, I'm sure we'd love to read it. I have no knowledge of Appelbaum prior to the Snowden revelations. My understanding of Appelbaum's work is scarce, but as I understand it Snowden trusts him, and he worked with Snowden to get journalists copies of these top secret documents for review and publication. I don't know if Appelbaum calls himself a journalist or not, but I am not trying to exclude him from being one. In any event, I'm very grateful to all the leakers and everyone who worked with them. I've benefited greatly from their disclosures because I no longer have to explain to friends and family what is theoretically possible in an attempt to get them to believe their privacy is at risk and mass surveillance is real. I now have documents nobody has doubted the veracity of to point to and say "this is what they've already done". Given this vague understanding of what Appelbaum might have done (I leave plenty of room realizing I could be wrong in all of this), I figure his main value in being listed as an advisor to Purism is "lend[ing] credibility" as you said (after all, why tell the public he's advising Purism if his advice is really all Purism needs from him? Plenty of contractors work for organizations offering valued advice and never get credit on the organization's website). Appelbaum could also use his explanatory skill to endorse Purism (something I've not seen/heard Appelbaum do; maybe that's because I'm not seeing the right talks?). I find this troublesome given how Purism can't live up to their promises. Ordinarily, I'd ask about this of Appelbaum himself but I don't have an email address for him.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Forum action needed (and temporary measures taken)
The forum nesting also seems to be destroyed in multi-page threads. I think I agree with onpon4, the nesting should be removed.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Forum action needed (and temporary measures taken)
I agree. I'd rather have some more advanced forum software here like PHPBB or Simple Machines, anyway.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Forum action needed (and temporary measures taken)
You should use the rating system rather than delete posts. We shouldn't rely on privileged users to delete posts they consider unappropriated.
