Hi Ruben,
Thank you for the software updates and for the updates on development.
Thanks also to jxself and telstar for their donations and pledges.
One more issue:
Icecat seems to still be stuck at version 38.8.0.
Saludos libres.
The problem has been around since last December. You can still use Icedove if
you revert to version 31.8. Not sure what the cause is. Mzee opened a ticket
in December which is still active. Otherwise you can switch to Thunderbird as
well. Although I guess you've made up your mind to switch

t3g's recommendation sounds solid.
Generally speaking I must say, very sadly, that I agree with Mzee.
I have stopped receiving any updates whatsoever over the past couple of
weeks.
Lack of updates to the browser without clear and loud warnings for months is
also unacceptable.

no indication of current language. I will experiment with the flags option
to see if I can get it to show the actual layout.

What do you think? Should I report this as a bug? I've never done it but I

Part II: Oh, Freedom
http://moglen.law.columbia.edu/snowden/SnowdenAndTheFuture-PartII.webm
This is a difficult question and my experience is limited. I made my
decisions based on:
*GT-I9100 (Galaxy S2)*
- Quite modern and cheaper than S3.
- Smaller screen to S3.
- Most important features supported (except the WiFi, but there is no perfect
solution yet).
The 3G *should* have
As I understand it, CyanogenMod is not concerned with software freedom, but
rather with open sourcing and the benefits that it can provide. They also
include binary firmware with their distribution, whereas Replicant does not.
I imagine, although I have not played around with CyanogenMod,
Replicant is not connected to google and such by default. CyanogenMod I'm not
so sure.
I understand and agree with your sentiment, Armworm. I am unhappy that the
WiFi firmware is proprietary. I am a FS advocate and I understand the risks
of running such software, as well as the vicious cycle that compromise in
this area often fosters.
While I agree with you on principle, a
Mobile data is now working on the N7000 as stated in my previous post. It is
still not working on the GT-I9100. I have been working to fix this under
advice from the developers of Replicant and hope to eventually resolve this
issue.
As to the WiFi firmware, I will not remove it. I hoped my
Galaxy S2 running Replicant.
I tried to go without a cell phone but ended up missing a lot of jobs and
pissing customers off. Unfortunately, I need a cell phone. I try to be very
aware that it is in fact a tracking device, but I'm afraid I cannot currently
survive without one in the way
Hi shokin,
Replicant is compatible with a few different phone models:
http://replicant.us/supported-phones/
It is very easy to install. I recently installed it on a Galaxy S2 and a
Note. 2 initial comments:
1) I cannot get 3G to work on either phone.
2) The WiFi card on these phones
Thanks for the response!
(sorry, I don't know how to quote text, so I will answer one by one here
without your quoted text).
I e-mailed the developers yesterday and I'm waiting for a response.
I tried copying the CM firmware into my Replicant but couldn't get the WiFi
to work. The files
Hi shokin...
Yes, it seems that they all require some non-free firmware. Hopefully someone
will reverse engineer the bcm4330 at least. If it were a laptop I would have
no problem buying a free USB WiFi stick. As it is a phone, I don't think the
WiFi card can be replaced...but I don't know.
Hi prvteprts,
Can you explain to me how you reverted to the stock ROM with
heimdall-frontend? Where did you download the Stock ROM from? Did it include
a .pit file and is that needed? I guess I should have gone for the Nexus One.
Pity.
I guess the S2 and Note were better choices then. I mostly wanted a Replicant
phone so I could use redphone and some other programs for encrypted comms.
I'm willing to compromise on the non-free WiFi for now. I'm not happy about
that, don't get me wrong. I'm also not happy with non-free bios
Seems so :) Good news!

Same thing here when using gnash (i.e. when html5 version is not available).
It started happening recently. It usually starts playing if you change the

I had decided to give you the last word, but this seems to be the thread that

post where he said neither
I understand what you're saying. I just don't think you realize the
implications. I'm not saying what they're doing is illegal (although I do
think it should be). All I'm saying is that freedom is not just about free
software.
I highly recommend Eben Moglen's 2012 keynote at Re:publica.
It doesn't really matter and I wish you no ill. We can just agree to
disagree. I can pay some money in exchange for Trisquel and you can pay with
your privacy in exchange for facebook. Let's move on.
I understand what you mean now. If I run into a problem like this again, I
will try that approach. By the way, the system seems to be working well so
far. I initially considered reinstalling it, but so far I think there is no
need.
Thanks again for your help.

Internet forums have been around since the early 80's. Added to that,

I think we can safely end this thread here. Now Trisquel is coercing me to

approaching pure monopoly exist. Thus, the term is generally used in a
relative sense rather

Well, I have spent most of the day trying to return my Trisquel to the way it
was before I tried installing the ia32-libs. I think the solution must be to
remove the broken packages manually, but I am wary of screwing things up
further, since I understand these same named packages already
I have tried removing the packages individually but that doesn't work either:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet
Have also tried:

Have you tried with FireGloves. Maybe it's tracking your browser's
fingerprints?
so your browser is quite unique with almost 16 bits of identifying
information. Try again after installing FireGloves.
yes, it masks your browser's fingerprints making them more generic.
Try this:
https://panopticlick.eff.org/
That makes more sense. Although I have read that google is researching a way
to track your browser's fingerprints, so FireGloves may still be a useful
addon for those who want more anonymity.
Thank you for the explanation. I did try to remove the packages one by one
with sudo apt-get remove package but it wouldn't remove anything...it would
just keep complaining about the dependencies.
How can I check to make sure that the trisquel and trisquel-recommended
packages are
You were right. trisquel and trisquel-recommended packages were no longer

Yes, I think onpon4 is right. I don't know of any add-ons to disable them.
This is a good thing. However, it is not as easy to do elsewhere in the

Thanks for the advise. I use youtube-dl, especially for videos that I plan

The big problem trying to evade tracking is that the business models of these
companies depend on it. You don't realize its pervasiveness until you try to
avoid it. I will take a look at blender.

I am, in principle, completely against censorship.
However, those kinds of tutorials just seem to defeat the whole purpose of
