Theoretically, depending on job itself, the software and hardware at both

Some existing journals already are complete bullshit. The situation has been
getting even worse since the Sokal affair: even computer-generated articles
have been accepted! Homeopathists have journals too...
I fail to see that it is Galileo Galilei vs. the Catholic Church. Become a
scientist, do the steps and present your findings. It's pretty easy. It's
only because their papers have bee trashed so many times they are trying to
find a backdoor.
I can't imagine how you could possibly regulate this. The scientific
community is not a single entity, and it doesn't have a single central
authority. Specific scientific peer-reviewed journals are a sort of
authority, and tricking someone into thinking that a paper was published in a

No, it doesn't. A skeptical approach treats the null hypothesis as true until
sufficient evidence proves otherwise. It has nothing to do with "sides" or
"equal weight".

Censorship is not what I'm after. They can yell all they want but claiming to

There's no "middle path" in science.
There either is a consensus or there's not. That's pseudo-science you're
talking about. Layman's thoughts. What you're propagating or hiding behind is
called "false balance".

Thanks for this. I've added it to the list of pro-vaccination source on my

I've also noted Gorski's blog post shared by Root Vegetable
"Propaganda" used to be a valid word for disseminating information. Now, it's
a slur and an all too easy way to dismiss valid science. I'm beginning to
think that we should blow up the internet. It brings all creepy things out
from underneath their rocks.
Surgeon David Gorski who blogs as 'Orac' on ScienceBlogs is hardly a neutral
commentator (he is listed on my research page as a pro-vaccination source),
nor is he any more of an expert on vaccination than any of the members of the

Did you actually research the Snap packaging format or are you just being
stubborn for the sake of being stubborn?
NO.
Since Ubuntu 16.04 introduces the new Snap packaging format and Trisquel 8
will be based off of it, has the Trisquel team thought about embracing it for
custom Trisquel applications? I know it has its benefits of being a sandboxed
application with dependencies included and can ensure more fre

I do not think there really are differences in the dictionaries: the same
words are in there. The programs, to actually spell-check, are different.
What is the difference between Hunspell, Myspell and Aspell dictionaries? Do
any have better/worse language support?

Yep you're right! I used the network installer to install from the USB drive.
Thanks, I'll try another image!
Did you try to install Trisquel using the network installer? I had real
trouble with that, too. I found the installer seems to think the drive that
the USB is on is the target drive without exception. Try a CD.
Back when the SSD was still in the laptop, I installed Trisquel from the CD
onto the SSD (the SSD was the only hard drive build in).
Then I started the installed Trisquel from that SSD → the mythic signs

So I opend the case of the laptop back up and unplugged the SSD. At home I've

You can try the following:
- it Starts from a CD/USB *live and opens a terminal

Some explanations:
When you type a word in a terminal, the shell (i.e., the command-line
interpreter) searches for a program that bears this name and execute it. It
searches in directories that are listed in a shell variable named PATH. On my
system:
$ echo $PATH
/home/banana/Travail/bin:/
What is revealing here is that your laptop works with Trisquel when using the
Live CD! In thinking methodically about what the difference is, I see it as
follows:
1.) It is the difference in media, which you are examining now. I agree that
it is probably not the answer.
2.) The content
"I also plugged the SSD into another pc of mine, there everything worked as
it should."
When you say that everything worked, do you mean that you could run your
Trisquel install from the SSD but on your PC? If not, then how did you test
the SSD drive?

I am pretty sure LibreOffice can use the Hunspell dictionaries too.
Yeah it's like loldier said, I've exchanged the internal 500GB HDD with a new

Trisquel on it, but same thing here.

Contrary to Telegram, WhatsApp's client is proprietary software. You cannot

Another alternative would be to install on a USB hard drive. I've done that
with Trisquel (as well as on my desktop and laptop). If the OP has a usb HD
or usb thumb drive, that would be a worthwhile experiment. Even if the OP
doesn't have a thumb drive, you can buy one for less than $10

internal changes, I remember I added an external sound card and a bunch of

Does that mean he can put back the original and try installing on it?
Well, naturally.
Here's a video.

Then my recommendation was that he try that.
I think the OP pried off the bottom cover and replaced the original HDD with
a new SSD. Unlike many Macs, some new laptops are user-repairable.

When you say, "I've switched the HDD to a new SSD"
What do you mean exactly? This is a laptop correct? So is the SSD running
off USB? What happens if you use the original HDD for the installation?
Indeed.
This person has a similar problem. It looks like modifying the initramfs may
