Thank you all. axgb islington is not too far on the disctric line!
Still far for lynton and others but if you do not mind signing up to the
libreplanet wiki that way we hava a bit more critical mass in UK!
I am going to talk about this with my local representatives this Friday. I
suggest any other UK residents do the same. ask them to slowly shift towards
libreoffice and openoffice. there are loads of UK copanies that support this
now.
The reason is about competition and helping local small
Yeah PowerVR and Imagination technologies behind are one of the most stubborn
anti-free software companies around. The rest is just as bad as you pointed
out.
Sorry, I can't stand this anymore.
I will tell you one of the reasons why the free software movement remains
tiny even after the biggest spying scandal in history:
Because its main leader is running around, telling non-technical persons to
visit https://gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html

I am new to GNU/Linux. Recently I installed a full Trisquel on a USB flash
drive. Now I can boot Trisquel from the USB flash drive. I don't use any file
from the hard disk. But when I open the GUI file manager (Nautilus), the hard
disk is still there under the Devices section on the left

I do think that BLAG shouldn't be listed, because frankly the latest release

Hello Freeuniverse,
welcome to trisquel and gnu/linux. Sorry this will not be an answer as I do
not know how to do it. But I have two questions:
when creating the freeusb did you leave some free space? if you did not then
when you do find out how to do it it will not be saved.
why do
In Trisquel 7, that is very easy:

There is no easy solution in Trisquel 6, but it is doable:

If you want Trisquel 7, here it is:
Powervr is horrible. The kernel driver is a GPL shim that doesn't do
anything important, and the important stuff is in a nonfree userspace
library. Nobody is working on reverse-engineering it, AFAIK. Imagination
technologies is not a free software friendly company.
If only Ruben had chosen a name that started with A, or a number.
Most GNU/Linux users have never heard of GNU. Like Ishamael, they say they
are Linux users. They praise the features in the operating system, its
security, etc. And yet, as you write, the free software movement remains
tiny even after the biggest spying scandal in history. If people still do

I want to stress the main point of my disagreement:
Once a user acknowledges she has fundamental freedoms that deserve to be
respected, she never goes back.
This statement is wrong. It's just not true for the average user.
The sacrifices she has to make are much too high.
I wish the fsf
I believe that statement is true. Even if sacrifices are to be made, the user
who understands she deserves freedoms will keep on going front, towards
software freedom. The user who goes back does not value her freedoms. She is
the average user you are talking about. She has never heard of

Sounds to me like he didn't make a live USB but a regular install onto a USB,
so all the free space is there and modifications will remain.
I have to admit I'm somewhat curious as to why as well.
bitbit: Indeed.
Yes please, plublish the video; I would be delighted to see it.
There actually was a problem with the input PDFs: if they were not in the
working directory, the script was crashing. Also, the output pages were not
in the correct order (the order in which the user gave the PDFs). Finally,
the script was retuning 0 even if no page matched the patterns (the

I heard of the Lemote Yeeloong; that it used a MIPS processor, and that it
respects freedom. And I (wrongly?) associated MIPS with software freedom.
Is it up to the manufacturers to disclose hardware documentation? Just
because an architecture is free (is MIPS free?), implementation of

Yes you can. It might shorten the life of you USB though. You'll want to
minimize writes to the USB, e.g. don't swap on it.

That is what lembas is talking about.
MIPS is a CPU architecture, and it's certainly not free and even has patents.
The only architecture that I know of that is actually free is OpenCores. But
that's just the hardware, and open hardware and free software are 2 different
things.
The issue with this one is that it uses a GPU
Ok, so, TAILS doesn't ships non-free/closed-source drivers, but it has
non-free/closed-source firmware, is that correct?
From a freedom perspective that's bad, but from a security one, is that
dangerous, as in, can a firmware affect the users privacy somehow? I would
say that a keyboard's
I think we should give Snowden a break here... Just as we understand when a
guy has to use non-free software at work to keep his job (no matter the work
at a factory speech), we could argue that Snowden had to use a distro not
endorsed by the FSF to save his life. I mean, sure he could have
The boot is fast, but the encryption process takes very long. A normal
installation of Debian is about 30 mins, encryption takes hours. That's the
only problem with this method, which is very secure and I recommend :)
Sorry for a dumb question, but what means NFG?
Does it take that long if you have a separate home partition and only encrypt
that one? I can't think of a reason to encrypt the root partition.
No eFfin' Good
A keyboard doesn't have firmware loaded by a Linux driver. If it has any,
it's probably stored on the device itself. Firmware loaded by the Linux
kernel is mostly for wifi and graphics (radeon) but also for some ethernet
cards.
Since Tails uses the Debian kernel, all the blobs are external
I've heard of this but have never tried it. How do you do this?
Are you disabling swap in that case?

I do not know what CRDA is but you apparently have the source code and are
free to modify it. If freedom 3 is available as well, you can distribute
copies of your modified version to others. By doing this you can give the
whole community a chance to benefit from your changes.

I simplified the script: http://dcc.ufmg.br/~lcerf/utilities/pdf-page-grep
It now is closer to my original proposal since it extracts the individual
pages with matches and, in the end, join them all.
Besides basic POSIX commands (such as 'grep' and 'awk'), the script now only
relies on
