Re: [Trisquel-users] The future of Libre Computing: Crowd Funding Campaign Starts Now
yeahyeah, it's kinda important! this is one of those things where, if you don't stay on top of it, companies will simply default to "get it out the door, source code drops are extra cash wasted so don't bother" mode.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Well, I just installed Powershell
Exactly. MS would rather make 'open source' software in an effort to squeeze Oracle/Amazon/IBM our of the picture than to keep it proprietary and lose business. This is a power play, nothing more. Note Microsoft never say Free software or GNU as it would push the ethics, even when they ship big components of the system with the inclusion of GNU Bash.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Well, I just installed Powershell
While that would be cool technology wise and to some degree security wise. But that would be yet another example of why the Linux kernel should have been moved over to GPLv3. On GPLv2 MS would still be able to ship it without allowing people to modify their local version.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Well, I just installed Powershell
Microsoft released this to benefit Azure and not you.

Re: [Trisquel-users] suggestions to uruk gnu/linux 2.0
As I write this, I am using Uruk 32-bit edition on my laptop, having a Core 2 Duo processor and 3 gb ram; The running Mate desktop is very fast, and applications seem to load more quickly than they would, even in the stock Triisquel 7. I had trouble getting orca to run on my two older machines; on the large Dell machine, speech died once I started the installer. On the Asus netbook, I never got orca to come up. I'm still running Uruk 1 from a usb drive, btw.
Re: [Trisquel-users] suggestions to uruk gnu/linux 2.0
MATE is better I think. It runs on old computers reasonably well and is as easy, if not easier than GNOME Shell. And more recent versions of MATE have GTK3 Support, and in future they plan to support Wayland. This is a good option I think.
Re: [Trisquel-users] suggestions to uruk gnu/linux 2.0
For the live image, go with GNOME Shell; it works and is accessible; I just don't like all that overhead. If you can get speech and braille into the net install, as Debian has done, and offer all the desktops, with whatever accessibility they support, I think everyone's covered.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Getting debian fsf approved
If you are just making an ISO of Debian packages, just changing the installer, then it is still Debian, just with a slightly different installer. If you plan to change all the packages that are offending, then you would just be duplicating the efforts of gNewSense, which has few resources as it is, and already has the stamp of FSF approval. Go and help them if you want speedier development of Debian made free (according to FSF)! None of what you propose will actually speed up development. It would also need to have self-hosted packages to comply with the strict FSDG. What you propose seems to be just an Iso file. I think you miss the point entirely. Just remember, the FSF is not a Church. Just because it says one thing it doesn't mean it is necessarily right. It doesn't reflect badly on you as a person.
[Trisquel-users] Re : explaination about free software mouvement and Trisquel in Trisquel 8 Flidas
For some reason the access to the files in the "rms" subdirectory was denied. I fixed the permissions. Notice that I got the FSF membership card yeas ago. I hope those newest videos have replaced some of the older ones: https://audio-video.gnu.org/video/TEDxGE2014_Stallman05_LQ.webm https://static.fsf.org/nosvn/FSF30-video/FSF_30_720p.webm
Re: [Trisquel-users] Getting debian fsf approved
It seems you now understand what I wrote in my first post. I get the impression you want to brush off what I wrote. >It's hypothetical. No. >what does it offer No asking for non free software when you install. Fsf approval. This I do not know. I assume it is a smaller task to make a librian iso than a trisquel iso because its the debian 8 main repository. If people are not strict about non free software they can ask about that on the debian forum. On the trisquel forum you may and should not. Updates follow debian 8. I do not use trisquel and I am skeptical about it. One thing is that trisquel has small resources. If I have question about non free software I cannot ask on the trisquel forum. A new version of trisquel hangs. People claim trisquel does not get updates fast enough. If correct it tells you that you have reasons to be skeptical. Instead fsf should corporate with debian to make a librian version. >distributing Debian No. >still links to documentation, and recommends nonfree firmware in log files, etc I have written why I think you are wrong. You write the same one more time. Provide documentation.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot 20160818
"I was just providing a link to macchanger, that would have prevented what you described previously" So would following the instructions on the libreboot website and not just going with the built-in MAC address. :)

I have lost the Trisquel keychain. I still have the FSF membership card and here is the free software advocacy material on it (214 MB): http://dcc.ufmg.br/~lcerf/fsf I can upload an archive of the whole thing if anybody wishes.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot 20160818
> A website you are accessing on the internet (like, say, fsf.org) has no access to your MAC address. The place you're connecting to from would be able to know it so a better way to say it might be that "Since it is a unique identifier, network access points can track you from one the other." This is the case as long as you're connected to the access point, regardless of whether or not you are actually making use of the internet. But anyway, you seem to be missing my point. That's correct. You only have to concern yourself with your MAC address if you do not wish the local network administrator to be able to identify you. MAC addresses do not cross router boundaries, so anything outside of your LAN will never see it. I was just providing a link to macchanger, that would have prevented what you described previously: "Two libreboot people doing that meet up, use the same network, and get their network interfaces shutdown because duplicate MAC addresses were found on the network."
Re: [Trisquel-users] suggestions to uruk gnu/linux 2.0
XFCE will be the default but we Thinking to make Custom iso for users nede accessible (for me I cant use XFCE) but I confused what to use
[Trisquel-users] Re : suggestions to uruk gnu/linux 2.0
Hi Alimiracle ;-) I prefer XFCE From a general perspective GNOME Shell's large software offer and it's ease of use is a good choice. a Netinstall Iso with the possibility to install all Desktops Environments would be great,doesn't mean that they all need to be ''customized as you have done with Uruk 1.0 MATE" ;-) Thank you
Re: [Trisquel-users] suggestions to uruk gnu/linux 2.0
yes we Thinking about using it as default but The big problem is for me I prefer GNOME Shell its so accessible What is the best for you Mate or GNOME Shell?
Re: [Trisquel-users] suggestions to uruk gnu/linux 2.0
I haven't tried xfce lately, but last time I did, the panel and file manager weren't accessible, though all the apps I tried seemed to be so. Xfce's nice and fast, however, and may be the best option, for the default de, if you're planning to accommodate light-weight systems.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot 20160818
Yes. The problem is, that, if you want more powerful CPUs, you must to buy one with microcode. Only alternatives are ARM, Core2Duo-Quad.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot 20160818
Microcode isn't a malware function that can only be removed by Intel. It is a function of the chip - how hardware instructions communicate with raw silicon. Even if they released source code you probably couldn't change it. It could be malicious but you're best getting a chip designed without it.
