So I'm using an Ubuntu phone. While compared to other phones you're certainly
more free here, it's not fully free in any way, so I don't know if it is
relevant for this forum/list, but I can give you some answers to your
questions:

I think you raise some good points, and I wanted to add some thoughts of mine
to them. Maybe you can evaluate how valid they are.
>You better hope it doesn't break or have downtime, and trust that your home
network is secure enough to handle anyone intruding through this internet

Mozilla doesn't want to pay, but they probably also couldn't pay. How would
you even try to count the users of Firefox and its forks? With proprietary
software that may be a bit more feasible, but as long as Firefox is
open-source, it can't really support H.264 on its own. (Of course it can
You aren't allowed to use it? Nobody is forbidding you to use anything. Just
because something is not in the repositories doesn't mean it doesn't work on
Trisquel or that its use it discouraged. If there are no freedom issues with
a certain piece of software and you would like to use it,
If you're asking for a YouTube website equivalent, that would be SaaSS even
if the FSF would somehow support it. Not a good idea in general. They're
hosting https://media.libreplanet.org/ but that is for THEIR needs, and only
they can upload things, so that doesn't make it SaaSS.
If you're
Hold on, yes simple sharing of videos is not SaaSS. But YouTube encourages
you instead of normal downloading of a video to always stream it to your
computer via network, instead of reading video file from your hard disk. That
way you're using their computers every time you want to watch a
If you want NoScript to work you should always remove the whitelist that it
comes shipped with by default. It's very easy to do.
You're thinking about this I reckon:

He does say that there have been SSH sessions cracked, but that doesn't mean
SSH in itself is insecure every
They don't have it and will never get it, because DRM support required

If you want to take your personal computing into your own hands, a good idea
is to set up your own email server. And then maybe let your friends and
family that have less technical experience also use it.
Well the Ubuntu wiki page says: Boot-Repair is a free software, licensed
under GNU-GPL.
You can also take a look at the launchpad of yannubuntu (the developer):
https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu
It says in his description that he is dev of 4 GPLv3 apps: Boot-Repair,
Boot-Info,
Bitmessage uses block chain technology afaik. As thus it isn't SaaSS because
it doesn't make sense in this context to run a block chain only on your PC
and not distributed. Of course it makes sense to make your PC to be a part of
the block chains that you use.
I'm not sure what Active Sync is but I know my Uni uses Exchange for Email,
Calender, Contacts etc. and I had to install evolution-ews package to add my
account in Evolution.
Maybe that helps you find the solution for you.
send me 0.02btc and you get a trisquel dvd in the mail. hell, even a trisquel
mini and a netinst dvd.
It's not about his opinion. I never made a statement about that.
Honestly, I don't care if it's his/her opinion when they cluster the whole
forum with the same stuff. I click the minus button when I want to.
MSE != EME, however in YouTube's case the Javascript code that they use MSE
with is of course non-free.
You can't correlate something like the number of vulnerabilities recorded in
a public database with a notion of being more secure or less secure. And
nobody (not the government, not Microsoft, not the Linux Foundation) says
that, it's just a wrong conclusion by some journalist. But you guys
It still makes more sense to use this userscript, because you can choose what
video stream you want to watch exactly and not just the quality, and you
don't have to run any non-free Javascript.
So Cleiton-, are you gonna buy a phone now or not? Are you living in
Australia, East Asia or India or not?
I don't know about smplayer but how does mpv perform on your laptop? It's
pretty light-weight as far as I can tell.

the F in FAAC stands for freeware. so it is proprietary software.
I have no issues playing vp9/opus content in mpv, I'm not sure about other
players. And creation also works fine with ffmpeg. Also Microsoft is free to
implement support themselves without anyone having to provide a plugin for
them, and that is which I think they should do.
Seems like video tags work here? Bear with me while I test this:
I personally wouldn't include Debian.
I set up an auto-responder for my old gmail address so everyone that tries to
send me mail there knows that I probably won't read it. if you have so many
sources containing your old email, you are probably better off not completely
deleting it. An auto-responder is pretty easy to set up in
Only reddit accounts that already existed before they started this thing can
vote (for obvious reasons).
Does twittering work on OS X with the binaries from here?
http://emacsformacosx.com/ I don't want to encourage you to use OS X of
course, but maybe like this you can know if the problem is with a difference
between GNU Emacs and Aquamacs or with a difference between operating
systems.
Mumble was actually one of the first programs to support Opus. If you join a
server click on the information button (the blue i) and you will see which
codec this particular server uses. It's mostly Opus nowadays (some still use
Speex, though).
I don't think a format by itself is software. It can be encumbered by patents
of course, which makes writing software for encoding and decoding
problematic.
If you want to store your media in formats that writing free software for is
unproblematic, then I'd recommend FLAC, Vorbis and Opus
Yes, correct. I just wanted to make sure that the OP knows about the
difference between container format and the actual codec. Speex is obsolete
btw now http://www.speex.org/ and has been replaced by Opus. Opus is
basically the sucessor of both Speex and Vorbis, because it has bettter
