Video calls worked well for me when using a free Linphone account with Blink
(the other party also used Blink but on Windows).
Glad it worked out. You might be able to compile the old sis driver which was
available in older Ubuntu/Trisquel releases although you might not see an
actual performance improvement.
Maybe this post will help you out:

If you have a direct link to the channel you should be able to record using

Is there a recommended one?

NoScript works fine in Pale Moon - a warning message appears in the add-ons
section (NoScript is known to cause issues) which you can simply ignore.
You can try other browsers with NPAPI support, such as those based on Pale

Midori.

streamlink is a new fork of livestreamer which can be found in the repos.
I bet it could run .ape files too.
mpv uses ffmpeg, so if your installed version of ffmpeg supports Monkey's
audio so will mpv.
Monkey's Audio (*.ape) is not a free-as-in-freedom format.
There are free implementations of Monkey's audio in Rockbox, ffmpeg and a
JAVA one called JMAC (audacious's implementation is probably based on one of
these three). The main issue with the format is high CPU usage while
decoding,
Does it support .ape files?
I just tested a sample from the site below and it works fine in Hyperbola's

Try watching/downloading it using streamlink. Streamlink supports multiple

The problem is we do not know anything about the proprietary firmware. It
could have been as well programmed to perform malicious tasks. Or, which is
give or less the same, it could have been written terribly, full of (sec)
bugs, and therefore exploitable. Trouble is also most firmware gets
Any "rogue" firmware modified by 3rd party can never be trusted.
Sounds like FUD to me. The original firmware can be trusted even less as it
includes the wireless firmware whitelist antifeature. If I understand
correctly the 3rd party BIOS images are made by disassembling the stock
BIOSes
Middleton's BIOS isn't more free than the factory BIOS, and it might be worse
security-wise
What makes you think it is less secure than the original BIOS? It sounds like
FUD to me.
Battery charging has to be defined in the BIOS since you want be able to
discharge the battery when you access the BIOS settings on battery power
alone. You can override the hardware settings directly from GNU/Linux using
tp_smapi according to the wiki page I provided a link to.
I'm not sure how libreboot handles UltraBay batteries but according to this
wiki the regular BIOS actually first depletes the UltraBay battery before
using the normal battery. You might find the settings you are after in the
wiki as well.

I tried extracting the archive mentioned with unar version 1.10.1 on

Triskel is (as far as I know) simply an option when using the net install

By hardware switch I mean a physical button on the laptop you need to toggle

I don't think it's helpful to tell people to rebase their entire
working environment over one little snag. That leads to a dangerous
game of constantly re-installing and never getting anything done.
Note that there are lots of threads about updating software to newer versions
in the forums
Actually they only only need one thing to be learned: compiling from source.
That's useful for small packages which don't require new libraries, but not
for larger ones such as WebKit in which case my original advise still stands.
If you need more up to date software than what is offered by Trisquel you
should consider using a distribution with more up to date software, such as
Parabola or Hyperbola.
Libreoffice can be updated via PPA. These commands will add it and then you
can install the version you want via

What is the output of xrandr?
Apparently, u-boot can be upgraded within LibreCMC if you build the correct
image (if the default build does not already support this - I do not know).
Hopefully, the minifree versions will support this feature (and provide links
to working u-boot images).
The price.. good Lord
At first glance the price does indeed seem expensive. However, when searching
online for the price, it seems that this router is sold new for at least 139
dollars, so minifree's product is competitively priced.
The card requires proprietary firmware to run however there have been reports
about some Realtek cards working without firmware on recent linux-libre
kernels, so you could try a more recent kernel.
Which wireless card are you using?
You can the card by running the command "lspci | grep Wireless".
The free native graphics in libreboot seems to be a hack which doesn't work
well for certain use cases - e.g. I cannot use a T60 laptop with Intel
graphics connected to an external monitor via DVI connection after
disassembling the laptop's monitor which is my current setup.
There's quite a lot of proprietary code being run by libreboot such as CPU
microcode (without updates), EC firmware, SSD/HDD firmware etc. Whenever they
find a free replacement they use it, but the computer is far from 100 percent
free when using libreboot.
Not all coreboot features are necessarily malicious, e.g. the proprietary VGA
option ROM which supports more laptop monitors than the free libreboot native
graphics implementation.
Pale Moon also contains this clause:
Unofficial branding ("New Moon") as supplied in the source code may be used
for unendorsed binaries at all times. Thusly branded binaries with the New
Moon logo and product name are not subject to the endorsement and exception
rules as set out in
Palemoon is just as free as Firefox or Seamonkey - if you build these with
different icons then the binary file can be free software (e.g. Iceape and
IceCat/Abrowser are free), but if you use the compiled binaries provided they
are not.
Discord is non-free software...
Rather than rebooting or shutting down I recommend killing the process with
the most memory usage - something like alt+ctrl+printscreen+f should get the
job done.
If you run "cd ~/" you will compile the driver in your home directory. If you
want to compile it somewhere else then just cd to that directory instead. To

It's not just missing from Ubuntu but from Debian too starting with Debian 8

I agree with onpon4. In addition, pip does not require cryptographic package

Trisquel has never supported other architectures even if those offered freer
computers, such as the Lemote Yeelong MIPS laptop (which was supported by
gNewSense). This might have been partially due to Ubuntu focusing on x86
releases compared to Debian.
I understand the logic regarding the
Shouldn't Trisquel focus on timely releases for x86 (which most people use)
before supporting other architectures? The latest version of Trisquel is
based on a two and a half old release of Ubuntu (which means a lot of

Since the shutdown worked correctly when using the kernel's shutdown command
