Thanks for the help!
I have Debian 7.1 with Linux-libre 3.2.
I will try to install Trisquel and Trisquel Mini on VirtualBox and see how it
goes.
This sounds pretty interesting. Is it easy to do this? Sounds like something
I could try.
You can remove multiple packages at once. Just list them all as arguments.
For example: "apt-get remove foo bar baz" would remove the hypothetical foo,
bar, and baz packages all at once.
Disregarding privacy and tracking, you can also use Facebook Chat with an
XMPP client like Pidgin.
I use it to keep in contact with people I already know who don't use anything
but Facebook. That helps me keep in contact without constantly reporting my
activities publicly online ;-)
I've tried SpaceZero a little bit and it's easy since it's already in the
Trisquel repos. It seemed interesting and might fit the bill.
I have no idea about Oolite because the 3D graphics were too buggy, but
that's probably the fault of my Nvidia graphics card. Sounds good, though!
The othe
Wouldn't gramma store all of the memorabilia on a 3.5-inch floppy disk? Oh,
right, there's no computer that can read a floppy anymore. ;-)
Facebook respects your freedom if you use the mbasic mode. Privacy and
tracking is a whole different topic.
My wife always says: just because you have a mobile phone doesn't mean it's a
leash for your friends to always reach you 24/7
Also, I don't answer my phone unless I'm in an appropriate area, even if I
have it with me. I assume other people have the same liberty ;-)
I've thought long and hard about this situation, and my main solutions are:
exchange e-mail addresses or phone numbers. And why not? they are a
traditional and still relevant ways of communication. Given, many people are
probably so deep into social networking that they won't even try to

I figured this out last night a few minutes after I poste this. Thanks
anyways.
This also fixed the DNS poisoning that my ISP was doing, so I am more than
happy.
I'd be surprised if there weren't lots of options just about everywhere. Its
more likely your just unaware of them. But-yea I recall another post saying
something similar I wrote. I didn't recall who I suggested something like
this to before.
I don't see anything wrong with trying to find a
This works perfectly! Thanks for the explanation too.

The t=trisquel value tells the DuckDuckGo staff that you are willing to
support Trisquel and they will donate money (probably not a whole lot) to the
Trisquel project.
The two items you put in DNS are internal OpenNic Nameservers, not the IPs of
resolvers. Replace the stuff you have in "DNS Servers" field with the two IP

I already have cookies, DOM storage, and referrer tracking disabled as I

Amazon utilizes several tracking methods.

readers, etc.)
* Session Cookies
* Ever-Cookies/DOM (Most important)
* Referrer Tracking
* Click-Handling
I don't think they are tracking browser fingerprints, or if they do it

AFAIK, you can fix Nouveau issues by updating Linux-Libre. The Trisquel
live-CD comes with Linux-libre 3.2 by default, you can update it to 3.5 by
installing linux-generic-lts-belenos, and you can get the latest version
(3.11, or 3.10 if you like LTS) at jxself's website.[0]

poisoning problem. Their site: http://www.opennicproject.org/
The problem is due to the t=trisquel being hardcoded as the default search
engine in the browser during compile.

The F buttons didn't help, or I did something wrong.
I installed the latest Debian with nouveau drivers and they work almost
perfectly (way better than on Ubuntu).
I still want to give Trisquel a try. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Mobile phone yes, "smartphone" no. And this will not change until those get
freer.
The last phone I bought was 8€ ($10) second hand one. Ah well, more money

Well-put. Although I cannot yet get rid of Google Hangouts.. because of
girls. Tried experimenting with little to zero cellphone use.. but caused me
unbearable mental states stemming from utter social isolation.
Are there really so few people here that use Replicant? I would assume a good
number of us use mobile phones.
Haha Sal, what a novel idea ;)

I think that admission makes you the perfect person to write a howto on the
subject. More seasoned users might not understand what the hard parts are. I
agree that the documentation for GNU/Linux should be at least on par with
other OSes.

Good news! They include a link on the page I get that allows you to opt out
of the service, but it takes a day to take effect. I love my ISP.
I had already imported my public and private keys and Seahorse was already
installed, but righ-clicking on a file did not give the encrypt or sign
option. However, running

When I said, "What type of computer is in that picture?" I meant the old one
running Emacs.
If I type in test.con into Abrowser, I get "Server not found - Abrowser can't
find the server at www.test.con."
The computer may be broken twenty years from now. Letters are less likely to
break of mechanical failure. :P
To partially solve this, I use two DNSs from the OpenNIC project.
My ISP does DNS poisoning, it redirects to it's search engine. But with the
OpenNIC DNSs in use, I'm not redirect to such search engine, as it just
displays the default browser's page about a non-existent address.

The ZTE Open is a good choice. As far as SaaS goes, that is a yes and no
answer. There are two ways to develop apps for Firefox OS, hosted and

on the device. Hosted apps don't have access to very many of the APIs f
While I have no experience with Replicant, which makes it impossible for me
to help answering the questions made, I would like to point something out:
using replicant does not make it impossible for you to be spied on. It makes
a tiny bit harder, but you can still be spied just the same. The
If I understood it correctly, they removed a good feature just to make
linux/kfreebsd driver suck like windows driver does? I don't understand why
though; wouldn't customers hate them for doing that?
It uses a Qualcomm SoC, it would need reverse engineering many drivers.
For this reason Replicant developers don't recommend such devices.
Replicant phones can be used without wifi, GPS, and other things
requiring nonfree firmware, while wifi has a free userspace driver, GPS
usually doesn't. The

Oh yes, also one needs to understand that both the feature and the hardware
configuration in question here (two NVidia cards in SLI, two monitors
connected to each VGA card and a seamless desktop) is a very special one.

@Armworm: You should not devalue propritary drivers. This gives a bad taste.
Similar to propritary companies devalueing free software.
