Re: [Trisquel-users] JAPAN - batteries

Save money or take advantage of a better supply? Make the most of his trip to Japan? Japanese voltage is 100 at 50/60Hz. All laptop power bricks can handle 100/110--240. Plugs and sockets in Japan are similar to US wall plugs and sockets. GNUbahn is from Denmark, I think.

Re: [Trisquel-users] JAPAN - batteries

Why does the battery matter?

Re: [Trisquel-users] JAPAN - batteries

He's asking about batteries, not cables. I think Japan uses the same voltages as the U.S. Don't quote me on that, though.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Guix on Trisquel

I made it a little better. Since the Trisquel theme clashes with Guix apps' Adwaita, I changed everything to Adwaita. Since Adwaita icons and panel color clashes with the default wallpaper, I changed the wallpaper to the Trisquel 6 wallpaper. Since a thick, solid panel is ugly, I resized

Re: [Trisquel-users] Where is and when trisquel 8 will be released?

IMO that would centralize the alternatives and, in some way, destroy the freedom to choose. Parabola is a simple and up-to-date distro, Dragora is simple too but a bit more user-friendly and completely free from Systemd, Trisquel is focused on offering a ready-to-use OS, EterTICS is made for

Sounds like a "testing" version of a LTS distro. Latest software, but being patched for becoming stable

Re: [Trisquel-users] Where is and when trisquel 8 will be released?

Parabola is best for latest free software which it is rolling, in its LTS fork, Hyperbola (...) Hyperbola is not a Parabola fork, and it never was. Its based on Arch snapshots and at the beginning the devs took Parabola's [libre] and [nonprism] packages but they don't sync with Parabola's r

Re: [Trisquel-users] Upgrading Trisquel in a live CD

Arch-chroot and pacstrap are scripts, so for a deb system arch-chroot will work. Pacstrap runs pacman, so of course it won't, and idk the deb alternative :S

Re: [Trisquel-users] We need a simple YouTube solution

There's https://ytlibre.ga which let's you reproduce YT videos without JS. The website is hosted by me in a Banana Pi, running Parabola. It's currently in Spanish, however the only thing you have to do is to paste the video link and reproduce it, so it's not difficult. Note that some videos

Re: [Trisquel-users] We need a simple YouTube solution

I've never tried livestreamer, but gtk-youtube-viewer streams. Well, really it just opens vlc or mpv with the url and the player streams it. gtk-youtube-viewer can search, download, stream, display comments, display the description, and search by channel. You can view all playlists by a par

Re: [Trisquel-users] JAPAN - batteries

Don't you just need an adaptor for your power cable?

Re: [Trisquel-users] We need a simple YouTube solution

I never thought about streaming. Does livestreamer usually support YouTube as well as youtube-dl, for streams? youtube-dl-gui just provides an interface for downloading videos. It doesn't provide an interface for a mostly-full experience: search, watch, comments, description, download, pla

Re: [Trisquel-users] We need a simple YouTube solution

Yes, that works great for downloading. As far as I know it can't stream or do most of the other features you suggest in your initial post. My usage of it is limited, though, so I could easily be wrong. Guix does have a package called youtube-dl-gui. I haven't tried it but it might be worth

Re: [Trisquel-users] We need a simple YouTube solution

Huh? YouTube-DL has always worked. Just use that, and put an interface around it.

Re: [Trisquel-users] We need a simple YouTube solution

Yes, gtk-youtube-viewer can load comments.

Re: [Trisquel-users] We need a simple YouTube solution

Yes, that would be more convenient than having to copy/paste into the app, but at this point I'm happy to have at least one option (gtk-youtube-viewer) that works at all. Any solution that doesn't allow us to be tracked will eventually be broken by Google, so it doesn't seem worth optimizing

I want to be able to click on a YouTube link from any app and have it open in the YouTube app. Most YouTube videos I receive are in Mumble.

OK, but there needs to be a way to tell the system to open YouTube links in the YouTube app rather than the "website."

I see you're having the problems with Guix that I was having. To fix them, follow the instructions in [https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Application-Setup.html "Application Setup"] in the Guix manual. This should fix all the locale errors and stuff. You also may have mis

You're right that my reply to you got downvoted, and it's also true that this stirred up my emotions a little. However, this system is bothering me for long. Heck, even this topic got downvoted after somebody upvoted it again. I don't share your experience with this system: from what I've seen

I agree that this would be way better. Hopefully it becomes reality.

(7) If someone's flags are reversed a certain number of times, they are suspended from being able to flag comments. They should be warned about this before pressing submit.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Either the rating system goes, or I will

Maybe something like this would be better than up/down-votes. (1) Replace the +/- with "flag as inappropriate" (2) If you click "flag as inappropriate" the community guidelines are displayed and you are asked to mark which ones have been broken. (3) If you mark at least one and press submit, th

Ha, I was just going through the troll lounge and realized that your comment that got down-voted was in response to mine. My comment above probably seemed really passive-aggressive. I honestly hadn't seen your comment yet. Your comment was constructive and should not have been down-voted. I s

Re: [Trisquel-users] Either the rating system goes, or I will

I've only ever seen quantumgravity be helpful and constructive, so I believe that if he received downvotes they were unjustified. But as you say it's best to just ignore nonsense like that.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Uruk 2.0 Last Touches

I only ran the last Beta version live without installing and it was a little while ago, but here's what I remember: (1) I liked the default MATE configuration better than Trisquel's, primarily because it had a search bar, making it easier to find the things I wanted to change. (2) The defa

The voting was initially for "spotting trolls" but many seem to abuse of that, ie down voting someone who express's his opinion or critisism, and in the case of Quantumgravity who has been part of the Trisquel Forum fo a while can feel upset by the recent "unjustified" down votes he had on pr

Re: [Trisquel-users] Either the rating system goes, or I will

I agree that the rating system is not really necessary and a little silly. There was also that thread a few months ago (which I won't link to because it should stay dead) in which someone intentionally abused the system with multiple down-votes from the same IP address to hide certain comment
