Re: [Trisquel-users] Purism working on libre phone
That response implies she was talking to TodD (whoever the hell is). She was talking to me. I stopped talking to you lot years ago over a different issue but I just thought I'd mention the truth untwisted because I'm still very offended at someone telling me where I can spend my very hard earned money. It's very offensive. Are ya..are ya...nope you're not going to consider that are ya?... Right, on second thought, please excuse my interruption of the circle jerk. Plastics.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Arrested for filming : CEO of ThinkPenguin, Inc arrested for filming police : faces up to year in prison
Something said in your comment stood out to me: > labelling me a "free stater", which apparently is my "gang affiliation"), etc For that to be said to you most likely means you've had a federal designation applied. This would mean that you would may be subject to enhancements added to any actions/ charges/ sentencings. This changes much and you should exercise extreme caution as 'the rules' are likely different for you than an everyday American. The deal you believe you have in your hand may not be the cards you're actually playing with. I'd strongly advise you contact the ACLU or a local civil liberties legal clinic (many universities have them) who specialise in matters such as yours immediately. There is no margin for "wait and see". This is from a similar case: https://youtu.be/tvAYbnY1I-0 (sorry about the youtube) Yup, it's a glib and bubble gum music vlog but I hope it drives home what you're most likely about to face just by having a designation applied (you really need to find out if you actually have). Do your research and take care of you :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ubuntu now the official OS for China
When you co-operate with a regime (Canonicals deal is with the government, not a company in a free trade zone of china or an organization) known for gross human rights violations, censorship, and subjugation of it's people I do believe it is called unethical collusion (y'know, like IBM furnishing the punchcards to the nazis during world war II, only now Canonical will help co-architect UbuntuKylin to continue censoring, surveilling, organizing harvested organs from Falun Gong practitioners, oppressing Tibet, etc. etc.) and profiteering from human misery. It took me a long time to decide to write this here because I always liked this community; But to be quite honest, after reading your glib excuses (to the tune of Tammy Wynette stand by your man running through my head) I don't care if I get along with you either. I may be "poison" but at least I'm not a coward willing to turn a blind eye to atrocities just to get along.
Re: [Trisquel-users] StatusNet, Identi.ca, and another blow to the AGPL
The statusnet software is still going to be kept under the same licence (which, beyond the obvious reasons, is good because OStatus lets you interact with identi.ca, friendica, etc. etc.) I federated (set up my own statusnet instance that can talk to other OStatus networks like identi.ca : http://www.shopfounta.in/statusnet/aether) a while ago because I felt bad for 'freeloading' off identi.ca. Just do that and you won't have to worry about what others are doing. Trust me, speaking as an idiot, it's idiot proof to set up. It took me about a day but that's only because I have zero computer training and a crappy webhost who won't give me root for less than a gadzillion dollars. Y'all could probably do it in an hour while hammered drunk. http://gitorious.org/statusnet/mainline/blobs/master/INSTALL
Re: [Trisquel-users] Having trouble buying a shirt from the gift shop :(
I don't think we're talking about the same thing. You just buy them for cash at the pharmacy, grocery store or whatever (you pay like 6.00 on top of the value of the card to get them activated by the cashier and then a monthly fee if you don't use it). They're not linked to anything unless you voluntarily register them and there's no trace (well, I expect the store #, cameras, pii you offer along with your purchase, if you sign it with your real name at a store, etc. etc.). You just use them and throw them out when you're done. I'm not a big fan of paypal, but it did come in handy today cause they did allow my disposable credit card as a guest account so that's good :)
[Trisquel-users] Having trouble buying a shirt from the gift shop :(
I tried both suppliers; On spreadshirt I simply couldn't add anything to my cart and on zazzle I kept getting a 'processing error" alert. I called zazzle customer service and they said it must be a problem with the shop/technical issue with the page itself. I guess I'm reporting it as a technical issue.
