Re: [Trisquel-users] (A)broswer and privacy: Don't allow to to maximise window fully
Thanks for letting me in on these technical aspects. Tor browser opens in a quite small window, which may (?) be good to cover users with low resolution screens. It would be nice to have a fixed browser resolution which is a bit larger. Hopefully someone with technical skills to do so sees this. Would it be possible to make and add-on for that?

You'd like to look for machines that's run under Libreboot+EFI whose processor arch is amd64, that's true practice what's free software. I've also been looking for them at https://technoetic.com. :)

There is also a Trisquel mini installation ISO. That installs LXDE for you instead of MATE. :)

As a UNIX daemon working quietly in the background, we still here working in the project and making a new magic tools using freedom spells and the last result of this spells in uruk wiki ! uruk wiki is a wiki for uruk project and free software community uruk wiki came with some features like control panel , easy to use, light, elegant, powerful, multilingual, easy to setup you can reach uruk wiki from this link: https://wiki.urukproject.org/ you can find the source code from here : https://notabug.org/ahmadnourallah/Uruk-Wiki We're waiting for your contributions and we will be happy for any ideas or suggestions.

HD 630 does work fine on Trisquel 8 with its default kernel, which does not include proprietary firmware. I know: I use it all day long.
Re: [Trisquel-users] few questions before installing
the eoma68 laptop might be a good idea, but it won't be out till november I believe We shall see if it is as good as is hoped. ;)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Mismatch: Trisquel and (you're the) Prey, Pal
I have only had one annoying issue, but I suspect it was an uncommon error: That I got charged twice and the payment was only corrected, the next day. Weird indeed, but for the most part, Liberapay is a very, very good idea.
[Trisquel-users] Mismatch: Trisquel and (you're the) Prey, Pal
I know there are 'good' reasons for the Trisquel project to use PayPal, but it just seems so inappropriate, considering the idealism behind the project (cough cough freedom cough cough). I just wrote an email to Ruben, addressing my concern on this matter and suggesting to use Liberapay. If you have experiences with Liberapay, please tell. If you agree, please let everyone and the Trisquel team know. If you have the knowledge or technical skills to help realise it, please let the Trisquel team know.

@nadebula.1984 Thanks for the suggestions, but I won't buy any Intel hardware. Built a new workstation, a few weeks before they went public with the vulnerabilities. I would rather literally burn my money, before I spend it on Intel hardware ever again. Well I might buy another X200 and that's about it.

Re: [Trisquel-users] few questions before installing
I do have some suggestions if you need the graphics performance. 4th or 5th generation Core processors' graphics still require no proprietary blobs. So search for such a processor with Iris (Pro) graphics. For example, my gaming notebook uses an i7-4750HQ with Iris Pro 5200, and I Plan to purchase an i7-5775C with Iris Pro 6300 for my desktop computer. I'll never consider purchasing Skylake or newer computers. I really do some scientific computing in my lab and CPU performance is critical. But I don't wish to submit to any entity power. Besides, Haswell (4th generation Core) processors I use in the lab support the AVX2 instruction set, whereas the next instruction set AVX512 will not be supported by mainstream processors until 9th generation Cannon Lake. So Haswell is very enough for me.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Proposal: Update "Enable DVD Playback"
OK everyone! I've updated it on the documentation. Could someone overview and improve, and if OK, a translation?
Re: [Trisquel-users] few questions before installing
> Any Intel HD Graphics starting Skylake (6th generation intelligent Core processor) require non-free firmware, so does HD630. That was my state of knowledge, until Magic Banana said it works just fine on Trisquel 8. I ran into several problems without the non-free firmware on Debian 9 Stable.

Re: [Trisquel-users] (A)broswer and privacy: Don't allow to to maximise window fully
Interesting topic. Thanks for bringing it up, GNUbahn. IIRC, the Tor Browser does indeed notify the user when resizing the window from the default size it launches at, whether by maximizing or resizing it manually. This warning stems from the fact that websites can determine the users' browser window resolution. As you correctly stated, if many users are browsing with the same browser window resolution, any website will have less information to use in order to identify the user with. The goal of keeping the browser at the same size would be to keep e.g. a Tor Browser user in line with other Tor Browser users, thus minimizing the risk of personal identification further. The suggestion you brought up with respect to letting the user resize the browser window up to 3% (or any %, really) would defeat the purpose by causing a deviation of a few pixels from the "default" (under the assumption that the standard browser resolution is fairly common). This would, in fact, make it easier to identify users. The information that a website operator would receive looks similar to the following: 1280x1024x24, with the former two numbers being the X and Y resolution and the latter being the color depth. Assuming your idea were implemented, the user would end up with something like 1299x1039x32, with other users having slightly deviating resolutions. This would make it trivial to track them across sites more so than a standard browser maximized on a screen with a common resolution (such as 1920x1080 for desktop monitors). The link posted by 3n3r6yD is rather useful in order to understand it, due to it being interactive. I hope I didn't bore you too much! I definitely would be for having a fixed browser resolution being an option in Abrowser that could be toggled from the new tab screen, but I am uncertain as to the technical possibility, seeing that the windows are managed by the window manager, which the browser probably shouldn't have direct influence on considering the security implications when (not if) a security exploit were to be found in the web browser.
