If a municipality wants to provide "community broadband" I would not want
FedGov to prevent that, nor do I think any other non-RINO Republican would.
So, you're right. Republicans (non-RINO's) are for states' rights.
The repeal of this legislation does not do anything to prevent local

I agree with half of what you said, in as much as the mega-corps are in bed
with the government and spy on us and collude to remove market competition.
But having FedGov step in and tell ISP's what they can and cannot do with
their own hardware, equipment and capital is ridiculous.

Although not much of a gamer, it sounds pretty good to me! Kudos for the name

'fork' rather than 'spin' would be a deterrent, but who can turn down an
acronym like that?

Ring is available in Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak). Someone could make a Helper

If you are talking about the keynote where Snowden participates in
videoconference with Gillmor and receives almost 2min of applauses, and
where he, like Matthias Kirschner from FSFE, tells us not to rely on
corporations, then you probably are better of referencing to this link
instead of YouTube:
About the format used during *reconding*: it's as you say, not
important. We are only talking about the format used for
distribution. Also, video quality is *not* important indeed. We can
overcome these problems over time. :)
Still, even if *we* (two of us) can see the link to "Ogg video" im some
Also, *ignore* the "disable grafts" recommendation. :)

2. Test the following set of recipes:

TL;DR A fully functional replacement for SteamOS on Steam Machines
If a gamer buys a Steam Machine and wants to use it in full freedom, what
advice can we currently give them? Uninstall Steam and any other proprietary
bits in SteamOS, leaving them with a weirdo Debian system. Or format and
Last comment on this subject. If your point is that sometimes technology has
a few false starts before it achieves mainstream adoption, then we agree. VR
has had a series of false starts too. Do you know what the evidence is that
this time is different:

Does anybody know how to install Ring on Trisquel 7? Is it going to be
included in Trisquel 8?
I thought the right wing was all for local/state rights and should be fine
with local governments providing broadband. But guess what, it turns out that
Republicans are for states' rights only when the Democrats are in control. ;)

What about the companies' filthy hands? Notice that they (Google, Facebook,

Snowden showed.

I guess. You could also try to convince the authors of the proprietary
pieces to remove the specific provisions (i.e., convince them that commercial
uses of functional works, including dictionaries, should always be allowed:
the user's work depend on them).
You could say the same thing about software.
No. The scheduling program harms the haircutting business if it has bugs,

No. There aren't any shops that sell that anywhere near where I live, to my

them. The current gaming

It is here, too. You do realize that 3-D has been pushed on the masses for

You can watch google earth in the browser. Does it require non free software?
Good article onpon. I did not know javascript imports software on your
computer and runs it. Referencing either the computer controls you or you
control the computer, that is not acceptable.

Not easy when you do not know how to set it up.
If a complete newbie to how Debian-based distros work under the hood wanted

I've been fixated on the libre version of the game HyperRogue lately. I also
love text adventures and ASCII-based roguelikes.
Metroid has always been a fad. Move on :P

you can upload videos without executing proprietary software.
