H.264 isn't going away anytime soon since unlike WebM it can be decoded via
GPU.
Mozilla wishes to expand its browser's market share on mobile devices which
rely on video decoding via GPU, so they must support H.264 via HTML5 on their
mobile versions, since they cannot support it via the
I don't want to put any one down although it is extremely frustrating how
many people are attempting to do good in the community that don't understand
the problems or have the ability to fix them.
I am going to point out that there are other companies where you can get a
free distribution
There exists Some 3D acceleration exists for some chipsets. This was
reverse engineered from my understanding. Not ideal. The 3d acceleration is
severely limited or non-existent. There is also non-free firmware that may be
required in some (many/all?) instances.
It does not appear that
Not on free distributions like Trisquel.
Mozilla should drop support for Adobe Flash on Microsoft Windows as Adobe
has done for GNU/Linux.
There would probably be a fight given that it isn't Mozilla that is
supporting it exactly. Mozilla blocking the plug-in and treating it as
malicious (which it is) on each update would put a
Every body is making compromises and we are trying mitigate those
compromises. Nobody sells a coreboot compatible laptop for instance.
The reason we don't ship coreboot is for the reason Cyberhawk mentions. It is
a non-trivial task to port coreboot from one board to another. If we were to

Thank you, Horgeon, for the advice. It resolved my problem.
I'd love to see that, the Windows version of Firefox reporting Flash as a
spyware and forcing the user to remove it and never install it again.
We have discussed, in this forum, why rms almost had to cancel his talks in
Israel to give speaks in Palestine. He wanted to do both but had to choose
between only giving talks in Palestine or not giving any talk at all. He
chose the former solution, which obviously better advances the free
This makes H.264 a bit tricky in certain countries:

Stallman didn't give his planned talks in Israel - he planned on speaking at
universities but the Palestinians who were paying for his accomodation
requested that he cancel the talks. They did allow him to talk in places
which aren't connected to the Israeli government.
Mozilla does support Adobe Flash - if you visit a website that requires Flash
on FireFox Mozilla recommends the non-free Flash plugin (and not Gnash).
I suffer from no perception disorder as I see both sides of the argument.
Those who blindly follow the free software initiative without questioning it
have the issues. I know you and I will go back and forth in this thread until
the server crashes, but I have said many times that I support
So how would this work with Abrowser and IceCat? Do they look for Gstreamer
or libavcodec on the system and use them? Or do they continue to block
entirely? I say this becuase the Gnash browser plugin will recommend and
install the Gstreamer libraries for the MPEG4 container and the codecs
Abrowser uses Gnash which requires Gstreamer and libavcodec (just type
aptitude show gnash-common in the terminal to see all the dependencies).

I agree with this - I think Stallman has extreme views on topics unrelated to
software which can be easily used to dismiss his views on free software and
thus he is a bad spokesperson for the FSF. For example, he shouldn't have
mentioned not bringing children to the world as a solution to
I find it peculiar how you constantly accuse rms of unsupported claims
whereas for the entire thread you have successfully failed to provide ones of
your own. E.g. Jobs was evil because he created the whatever the cost - just

Or Stallman-like where he eats stuff of his own foot? Now on a more serious
note, I welcome you to this discussion so feel free to read my responses and
others before before getting too offended.

Sorry, I didn't feel offended - rather irritated by some claims and I may
have got a little carried away. But now that I've got it out of my system I'm
pretty cool actually.
As a matter of fact I even tend to agree with you, I'd however restate the
claim a little. I don't find anything wrong
The default install of the current Trisquel decodes H264. There is no reason
for Trisquel not to ship a Web browser that would read it.
Remember that H264 raises patent threats: in the future, the developers of a
free codec may go into legal troubles and a distributor may not be allowed to
yes, those videos worked with linterna magica installed, last time i checked.

That isn't entirely correct. Neither was my statement though. It is more or
less what they did in any event.
I'm pulling this from my head. Feel free to reply with corrections. Provided
my memory serves me correctly this is the details of the press release:
Adobe has said they are dropping
I've said this so many time before and I'll state it again.
These lists don't work.
There is more to 3d acceleration than this.
Some NVidia cards have the bare minimum of support for 3d. It is the result
of reverse engineering and not very good.
When I go and look at that list I have no
thanks a lot.. may be i will wait for some future releases then my system
will work properly..
