Would that include any proprietary blobs in the installation? I know coreboot
packages them, but it's a Core 2 Duo machine, so...
All of the Democrats (and independents that caucus with them) voted against
it, and all but 2 Republicans voted for it (the other 2 did not vote). Also,
Rand Paul (the "libertarian") wants to have it both ways -- he cosponsored
the bill but then missed the vote so that he can say he didn't vo
Erm, you mean what movie that's from? That's a still from The Matrix.
This is true. But I wish I knew what that was a meme of.
I could look it up, but meh...
Try debian 9, it's a real stretch!

hmm I knew not this...
I wouldn't know how to do this though... but I am sure you do. heh.
I agree wholeheartedly. sandboxing tor browser though I think is the way to
go...

I like that idea. Been doing that for a while now. :)
Try to get lenovo G505s and install coreboot.
To install core boot on it you will need external flasher.
I am not certain but I do not think that the A10-5745M processor has PSP
because:
"The Platform Security Processor (PSP) is built in on all Family 16h +
systems (basically anything post-2013), and controls the main x86 core
startup." https://libreboot.org/faq.html#amd-platform-security-proc
Nice essay! I like the idea of making the browser to install the scripts you
want to use, instead of always downloading the script and executing it. Our
browser could install every version of jQuery if we wanted, and other useful
and free software JS.
I think that LibreJS is useful, and I h

There is an important technical reason why I say no JavaScript on Web pages
should be executed, even if it's libre. My essay explains that reason:

This can be overridden by a very drast
That's quite interesting question indeed, and the wording you used to
ask makes up for a perfect answer:
Since you asked "Is non libre software required to display youtube videos
in the browser", my answer is:
Unfortunatelly, in most sites in the Internet, society is forced to run
some non-free s
You can watch youtube videos with VLC just by pasting the url of the video
you wish to watch in a terminal

This will launch VLC, enjoy!
ARM SoCs don't have any of the same problems as CPUs from Intel and AMD. They
typically include non-essential components (typically wireless and GPU
hardware acceleration) which require blobs, but otherwise can work with an
entirely libre software stack.
The usual problem with ARM SoCs is t
The YouTube website sends proprietary JavaScript code which loads the video.
You really ought to disable JavaScript on your browser entirely if possible;
I've outlined why here:

As for YouTube, you can watch its videos with an alternative program such
My debian 8 64bit main mate computer can display youtube videos. I noticed
some write about youtube dl. Is non libre software required to display
youtube videos in the browser also on a computer which has a libre software

Hi guys
I am interested to know how can i check if i have AMD PSP installed on my
Laptop and which version do i have?
I am afraid for the security on the machine that i am using.Its HP laptop
with AMD A10 5745M CPU and dedicated GPU(R7 M260 Topaz XT).Compared to the
another Acer laptop wi
I think that both problems are equally important.We can all see bunch of
software devs in youtube videos,but how much of those people are firmware
developers that create WiFi chip drivers,graphic card drivers etc.It is
extremely rare to find even one that work on OpenSource/Libre branch and
I am not speaking in terms of having availability to have expansion board.I
was referring to standard desktop usage compared to AMD and Intel.I will
write more about AMD machines that i have and why i don't like it.
Yes i see EOMA68 as a great idea,but for example if i would buy some of the

Any experience with a double ethernet device with free software as firewall +
services device .
Something similar to dreamplug (freedombox) + ethernet firewall (libre cmc).
I cannt get information about a easy double ethernet device as this kind.
Thank you.
I never trusted my ISP. I always assumed they did this. I would.

definitely :)
More news about it?
It is not legitimate that ISPs can sell the users' private info and details
to advertisers when we are already paying money for their service. This is
totally insane. Customers should understand the seriousness of this issue and
raise their voice to stop such misusing. Hope everyone will
In my humble opinion, lack of understanding of the Linux kernel is probably
not the biggest issue- ignorance in Chinese industry regarding free software
seems to be far more of a problem, especially with the proliferation of
non-upgradeable devices.
