Although he was talking about software I think RMS has a good story here
Oh, when I saw the subject of "User rights" I thought this was going to be a
very different topic...

I think it would be better if you used a linux distro and install virtualbox
and put a windows virtual machine in it. It is much safer due to the
microphone and camera in your laptop. which in trisquel can be disabled
permanently.
ps, I am much the same as you in that sense, I came because
That is bad. so copyright never ends is what your saying...
That would explain a lot. yeah... That is a nightmare.
but tell me something what do you think about those people who defy copyright

not own for others to
Good for you, more power to ya, someday I hope to be closer to that.
Can you post the output of (as your normal user)

Good tip, avidemux is listed in the sound and video section. Cool.
Will do, thanks for the tip :)
I should also run an extended test : Two types of HHD,and to types of
installs, carefully taking notes. Roughly, my Trisquel install seems to be
the culprit, because I remember the encrypted drive working just fine on a
normal Trisquel install.
The encrypted
I knew it, it's haunted!
More seriously, that's useful info, thank;)
Really beautiful music :)
Personally I don't mind because I only (rarely) play old stuff.
So if it's safe enough, and cheap enough, I'm OK with it.
A ROM can always be modified to contain malware, so it's still a risk.
So andboxing is the only way to go.
Using old consoles is one way (or a BBB wi
And if you want to add a menu item do so as in the attached screenshot. You
can then add this to your desktop panel as well.
Thanks, that worked. I thought I had done that as regular user but I guess
not.
Check what your external hard drives are formatted as. If they're formatted
as something like ext which supports "owners", there could be a user ID
mismatch. The best way to avoid this that I'm aware of is to use a filesystem
that doesn't support assigning "owners" to files, e.g. NTFS (kind o
Yes, as they work off different repositories and databases.
Not being able to access/copy to and from an external drive is anomalous
behavior, one that I have never ever seen on any Debian based distribution
(so far I used only Debian based distros, many though, especially when I was
very fresh).
The non encrypted drive should not have admin right to
Add the following to your .(bash)rc file. This will add the guix pacakages to
your path and make them available via the command line. So you should just be
able to type avidemux3_qt5 for example or 'avi then ' would probably be
enough to find it too.
export PATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/bin:$H
I have one of these myself:

It works very well plug-and-play with Trisquel and Debian.
I also have this model:

I used to play the nonfree ROMS with snes. I quit months ago. I will try to
resist the urge of replaying those few games I love in the future. A man has
to be firm, at least he has to try. An incoherent free software enthusiast is
a weak enthusiast. I'm trying to get radical. :)
I think kno
Oh, and just to add to the confusion, NOW I can access my encrypted HHD via
sudoed gnome-disks, whereas 10 minutes ago I couldn't. Sure it might have
been a typo onthe passphrase, right? But to make sure, I even copy/pasted it.
My install is messing with me ( •᷄⌓•᷅ )
Hi everyone. I'd like to replace 2 printers that are not free software
friendly with one multifunctional that works with FOSS (scanner and
printing). I hope that printer is relatively modern (because of the tint
cartridges, I don't want obsolete ones). It'd be better if that printer

I often am puzzled about user rights:
I understand that there's a root user who has all rights, and is accessed
with sudo.
I understand the normal user, who has limited rights.
Now, I often have problems with external hard disks.
It seems they require root password just to be able to copy fil
Well:
1. Abrowser is basically just a rebranding of Firefox. It would be completely
pointless for it to be in Debian.
2. Trisquel doesn't get updates downstream from Debian in time, so putting a
Web browser in Debian and waiting for it to flow downstream would result in
an old version wit
Anything is better than a google service as far as privacy. That being said,
the claims of privacy are claims and not trusting a stranger is always better
than trusting them, especially when "business", and data is big business.
Encrypt your mail with gpg. Enigmail with icedove takes 5 minute
You can set Firefox to be as "private" as Icecat in 5 minutes. But it does
take interest and knowledge. Icecat is not there because, as Onpon pointed
out no one cares to maintain it.

I have managed to get extremetuxracer and avidemux working via guix package.
Cool!
I thought it might be good to post a 'how to' for guix on flidas. Would like
to help out and unfortunately I am not a good programmer but could maybe add
to documentation.
I do have some remaining issues ho
Reverse engineered software, for which the result of the effort is
free/libre is free/libre software, Nouveau started this way.
Also, the legality of it depends on jurisdiction.
I do. I have a few old consoles I play with.
I don't worry about privacy with these.
On my libre PC, I try to avoid them, but still play two of these : OpenRA,
and OpenXCom.
I think most recent consoles/games (say, past the Wii) bring not much new
besides great graphics. There's probably so
NO! We SHOULD NOT use any non-free data.
Reverse engineered non-free software source code isn't free or even illegal.
Can I use both Guix and apt?
Thanks!
If they're listed, of course it will provide a libre desktop.
For a libre desktop, you have a few options, listed here :

I always recommend a G41M-ES2L as you can buy it for cheap and it performs
very well. I have a Core 2 Quad and 8GB of RAM, it feels good to
