Is it conceivable to buy an old touchscreen device Built for Android and run
something like Damn Small Linux or whatever simply to run Calibre? I'd remove
any of the nasty geolocation stuff, and being able to access the internet,
make calls, etc is not an issue for me. I'm thinking that I cou
I don't have any information to add, but I'd just like to say that I'd love a
device capable of running the Calibre ebook reader. No DRM, no hassle, I just
want to be able to copy my Calibre Library into the home directly, and I'd
love to pay for such a device.
Perhaps I could get what I wa

It's funny, the community designed the software with our own code, but

You sent your message before I started mine, but you touched on some of my
thoughts. I think that either something went bizerk and excluded the

accident.

I had done that, but in 5.5, it just doesn't work right

In Trisquel 5, I was able to replace the gThumb program with Eye of GNOME
(eog), but this doesn't seem to be possible in 5.5. Even if I remove the
trisquel-recommended package to be able to remove gThumb, I still can't seem
to make eog the true default image viewer. This hasn't been a big iss

The authors of the MP3 format do not make free software for dealing with
their formats. However, Trisquel uses software compatible with those formats,
but is released under a free license.
If you want to have your audio files in more freedom friendly formats,

I don't want to manually change all the necessary dependences, and I'd prefer
the full most recent stable version of Shell.
I tried to install that PPA a few weeks ago, and I ended up having to
reinstall the entire system. I'm not having any application issues, I just
want the latest and greatest, and want GNOME Shell to run smoother, and have
the improved extension management.
Also, are extensions on the GNOME
What product is this exactly? Also, I'd really like to get my hands on a
product from ThinkPenguin that is similar, and has extra focus on freedom.
And I like how money would go to Trisquel :)
If you were to make such a product, naming it after the world's smallest

This may be an old thread, but I'm just going to throw in that I have a

Instead of starting a new thread, I'll ask a question I have in this one.
Wouldn't it be good to merge the GNU IceCat add-on list with our Abrowser
one? Both communities could spend less time repeating efforts, and our
combined work would be greater than what we can do as individual groups. I
For client side it's GPLv3, but the server could be the Microsoft EULA, as

license the parts of their back ends that actually do our computing.
should I care?
Is there any way to install 3.4 in Trisquel?
Thanks, this is working for me, and I installed the packages in our repos. Is
there any reason we don't have the most recent stable builds? I also could
find any stable 3.4 deb or ppa.
I already use NoScript, so would Google's plugin be redundant, or cause
trouble?
Also, does anyone know if Google's implementation of their own code is free?
If it isn't, that is really stupid on their part.. Why would you make

The terminal command put me at 3.3 GB of free space. I installed tons and
tons of games. I don't understand how it's affecting the root, especially
since I have over 100 GB space in my home folder.
I did a fresh install
I was able to get the free space to 875.8 when I emptied a lot of my tmp, but
that still concerns me, and I don't want to have to allways clear my tmp
That's a silly question, t3g. You know this is a community that follows FSF
guidlines, so I don't know why you always sling anti-rms poop around, and
suggest games ought to be able to be made proprietary.

I don't think whether or not they desire money to do what they've proposed is
a reason not to help. If it's dificult to free their work without getting
money, I see no problem with paying them. It's better to help people who are
likely not too concerned about freedom than to let a work simply

Are there times where I'm using acceleration and not even realizing it?
Will my Penguin Libre get it?
I've read all of replies against my idea, and I think you're both being a bit
ridiculous. Even if this interview/review totally flopped, it still gets word
out of our humble system to people who have never even heard of a free
distro.

Are you all still going on about this? Just let it go already.
I think it's t3g who holds the unpopular view here. As for you I think you

And if Torvalds would have taken the offer, the kernel may still be in use

I didn't read every reply, but I think Ixquick should at least be one of the
default options, but DDG should remain the default because as DDG grows, I
believe it will become more free, and improve in quality.
You can see how well DDG is doing here:

I emailed Defective By Design about this. I hope they start a campaign if
this DRM attempt gets taken seriously.
Can you add a panel background for the stable? I think it looks messy right
now, and I had that issue in Ubuntu using GNOME Classic, but when I put a
background, it looked smooth.
Sadly I won't be able to go, but have a great time, everyone who is going.
I actually think we should ship Gnash out of pause mode.
That's what I meant. Seems fine now, nothing is going into a database

The FSF doesn't use the sharing iframes, and they only recommend using the
sharing tools to spread freedom.
The fact is when you use their iframes we all are being tracked. Even with
Disconnect, Share Me Not, etc. installed, we may still be being tacked.
Actually, I won't be able to make a show for a few weeks. I'm about to order
a laptop from ThinkPenguin after I sell my 3DS (which I wanted to get rid of
anyways for freedom issues).
I'm sure most of us have similar Flash workarounds!
Thanks for the advice, and the focus probably wouldn't be on using GNU/Linux,
but it wouldn't hurt to make guides that may already have been covered,
especially if it's been done by open source people. For example, many people

Great to see! I might buy a few badges separately, too.
It feels weird asking this, but could you get any laptops for a cheaper
