I just pointed all that because I know the story of a vegan family that lost their child negating him the nutrients that come in meat (yes I know, there are vegetal alternatives) but the only point was to remember that if you do it the wrong way you can harm you (and yes ther is the other

I agree with you, it would like that people wasn't as dependant in technology as they are. It's quite sad to see in a cafe toghether with friends and just looking to their cellphones not talking to each other. But always remember, we Human Beings are social beings, we depend for our health

Currently I'm using google's email service but I would like to move onto a provider that respected my freedom, but I do not know any alternatives, could you suggest some? The only requirement is that it has to be free (in cost) as I have no way of paying for it.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How will libreboot deal with Meltdown and Spectre?

2018-02-08 Thread tgalbers2000
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that both Meldown and Spectre had no other solution on existing hardware that implementing a patch on the linux kernel, which does have some overhead. So I don't really see where is the problem.
