Re: [Trisquel-users] Foxconn T77H348.02 with Atheros AR9462 AR5B22 chipset and Bluetooth support with the "ATH9K"
Before you test Trisquel do a full shutdown of the computer. Don't just reboot from Ubuntu or the firmware will still be loaded.

[Trisquel-users] Libreboot leaves FSF. Says FSF shouldn't exist anymore.
https://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Libreboot-Not-GNU "I'm declaring here and now to the whole world that Libreboot is no longer part of the GNU project. I do not believe that the FSF or the GNU project deserve to exist." Ouch.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot leaves FSF. Says FSF shouldn't exist anymore.
I find it difficult to believe that the FSF fired somebody simply because he or she was transgendered. There must be more to it than that.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot leaves FSF. Says FSF shouldn't exist anymore.
yeah I saw those one the mailing list. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreboot/2016-09/msg00036.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreboot/2016-09/msg00038.html Child like emails No context given. Same here, I don't believe that the FSF did anything wrong. More false alarms than anything else.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot leaves FSF. Says FSF shouldn't exist anymore.
Indeed, we must be careful not to post such things without clear proof. If there's an accusation, there has to be a proof. This ends my main comment. Some back-story involving me: I once studied in a college were I was persuaded into signing a petition requesting the college to hire again a past worker. The person who handed the petition to me told me that the college fired the worker due to his/her sex orientation. But the petition didn't mention this clearly. I was young at the time, so I signed it, Since the director of that college was also a teacher there, he once mentioned the petition he received to the class in the open, and threatened me for what I did. As the issue unfolded some weeks later, we decided to contact the person fired and ask him/her to meet us with the documents that he/she received when fired (including his/her worker's handbook). During the meeting, we were told that the firing had a clear reason/justification, and we also checked the relevant documentation, only to find out that the director was right. The worker was repeatedly absent, didn't present a reasonable statement (generally, a medical one), and wasn't in his/her vacation. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot leaves FSF. Says FSF shouldn't exist anymore.
Hmm... I really hope this can be sorted out and that this can be reconciled, but I also hope that Leah will change her mind on punishing the whole fsf/gnu because of a few morons. I will still support libreboot probably, but I am disappointment with this news on both sides. I believe both sides of the fence have some wrongs within them. didn't know that Leah was transgender though... regardless though, I must refuse to take a side for now as I don't know the whole story. I hope Leah reads this and understands that there can be better options used to fix problems then just going full blown angry on people. Even if they deserve it. which I am sure there were a few who did deserve it... Let us use our anger to solve the problem not create more problems.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot leaves FSF. Says FSF shouldn't exist anymore.
Both sides of the story have to be equally heard, and as the mate said, accusations without proof are just flatulence. That being said I really don't think anyone with decisional power at the FSF would fire or has fired someone for their sexual orientations.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot leaves FSF. Says FSF shouldn't exist anymore.
inb4 the trolls I remember the "EU: All your internet is belong to us" thread... *shudders*! I support Libreboot if true but we need to hear all sides of the story before we make conclusion. There is a lot of sexism underlying software industry etc so it is somewhat plausible. But lets hear both sides first of course.
[Trisquel-users] Https Everywhere error
When I install Https Everywhere in Firefox, Abrowser or IceCat I get an error message in a pop up window. I've searched for fellow sufferers and solutions but can't find any. Does anyone here have a suggestion for a solution?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot leaves FSF. Says FSF shouldn't exist anymore.
This can be one of two things: 1. Fired for performance and then this person stirs up the pot by saying it was gender related hoping there is a lawsuit. This is very common in corporate America when a black employee is fired. I forgot what its called, so check your PHR/SPHR/SHIRM guides. 2. Fired for being LGBTQ. If so, the FSF should get its non profit status revoked and the organization shut down. The GPL will still exist, but the FSF will be removed from any FLOSS association and history entirely.
Re: [Trisquel-users] PSA: Shadow Warrior is free (as in beer) today. (compatible with GPL Engine)
According to Build engine's author[0] this is why he created his own license instead of using the GPL. > Short answer: to satisfy my ego :) Long answer: I know GPL is an industry standard, but I felt that it was way too long and boring for anyone to read seriously. I chose to write a nice short license that everybody could understand. This way, people unfamiliar with GPL would understand their rights. It's seems like he misunderstood not only the GPL but free software in general (I'm guessing it would have been "too long and boring" to learn about it). Apparently he thought the important takeaway of "open source" is the ability to look at source code and use it for limited hobbyist non-commercial use. [0] http://advsys.net/ken/buildsrc/

No evidence given that this actually happened.

Re: [Trisquel-users] I saw some posts about an operating system called qubes os on this website,
It would be nice for them to at least have a debian contract for that operating system. yep exactly my thoughts.

I got it with the "Bandwidth Meter and Diagnostics" extension during years, but only when there was a "Server not found" error so it was annoying but not hampering. The bug you are reporting seems too much hampering to withstand, so I guess it appears on only one version of the extension.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot leaves FSF. Says FSF shouldn't exist anymore.
I'm a trans person too, and you know what makes my blood boil? Well, two parts of this: one, making this into a form of identity politics, and making accusations without providing a shred of evidence. I'm sorry, but even if the accusation is true, this behavior is unacceptable, and it's not helping. All you're doing is making it a liability for any trans person to be employed in the first place, because the employer risks some idiot SJW bringing fire on them when they fire that employer for a legitimate reason. Leah, you can go fuck yourself. This is not an even remotely ethical way to deal with perceived discrimination.
