SWITCHED FROM TRISQUEL TO HYPERBOLA JUST BECAUSE OF ITS LEAD DEVELOPER'S SCREEN NAME!!!!!
"emulatorman" is clearly superior to "quidam".
Just kidding. Just trolling. "quidam" is a fine name, it kind of means "any man" or "any person", as if Ruben is not overly full of pride.
But in fact, I will be posting my new Hyperbola walk-through soon. This is my third time in Hyperbola-land, and as usual it's been a fun and difficult adventure where I've been forced to learn a lot. But it's beginning to exceed my expectations this time in terms of how much it can replace Trisquel or GnuinOS or the antiX-Libre respin in my life.
I have tried a lot of time to go away from trisquel and..., it is really really really hard. You have the whole ubuntu archive.
I tried
GNOME
KDE
LXDE
MATE
Xfce
Flubox
OpenBox
Sawfish
cwm
twm
i3
ratpoison
dwm
exwm
The only thing I do is to studie coreutils, bash, wget, apt-get, dpkg... and apt-get source all the time.
It's hard! :-) And you can apt-get the xubuntu wallpapers....
It will be nice to have a trisquel GNOME spin and trisquel xfce.
I don't know how to left, I come back again and again.

What does this mean? Don't you ever eat food?
>"Belgium is best known for its chocolate, waffles, fries and beer"
I guess that answers that question - you've got the 4 food groups there.
By the way, Wikipedia is a privacy violater. See the notes about that here: https://codeberg.org/orenom/wikiless
If interested, you can use wikiless.org in place of en.wikipedia.org as a privacy redirect. I'm not saying you should switch, but that you may want to look into it.
I don't see anything there suggesting that Wikipedia is violating users' privacy. It seems to be more about worries that the NSA might have infiltrated Wikipedia servers.
Yes, as long as you don't object to the fact that Wikipedia is keeping track of its users at the same time that Wikipedia knows that the NSA is trying to grab all of Wikipedia's user data. If that's OK with you then you are correct, they are not violating your privacy.
In the somewhat near future, I'm going to want to self-host a Wikiless instance. I think that is the way to go there. Also, I could probably edit my own version when I see problems with Wikipedia articles.
I'm not opposed to Wikiless, because having mirrors of Wikipedia is a good thing, but it seems unfair to accuse Wikipedia of being a privacy violator just because they are targeted by the NSA, a government agency out of their control. You say that Wikipedia is tracking users, but all I see in the Wikiless readme is that they don't want to give Wikipedia their IP address. That's not something Wikipedia can control - when you access any website, you are giving them your IP address.
It depends on how the NSA is getting their access. If they are asking for logs of all users and every subject they accessed, and if Wikipedia is turning that over rather than moving to a no-log policy of some sort, then that's still bad on Wikipedia from my view. If the NSA has hacked a backdoor into Wikipedia's servers then there's not a lot anyone can do about that I guess, other than Wikipedia looking for and shutting down backdoors.
> I could probably edit my own version when I see problems with Wikipedia articles.
I believe the main problem with Wikipedia is the delusion that everything is encyclopedia material. If you are, say, an archeologist editing archeology articles with references to recent advances in the field, why should you care in principle that the NSA is aware of your activity? In fact, they only need to check your curriculum, which is public information.
I only trust the original 1751 version of the Encyclopédie anyway, although some hot topics have clearly been trolled by the king to support the official narrative of the days.
Hyperbola it's fine, (I use it as a secondary OS because with Linux' DRM adoption you can't be sure), but it needs a bit more basic packages, such as Gnuplot.]
Paradoxically, Emacs' calc doesn't work with GNU plotutils.
>"it needs a bit more basic packages"
Yes, this is the big problem, once you get past the challenge of getting it up and running. My next Hyperbola project is to see if I can build a version of Libreoffice on it that will run. I need a much newer version of Libreoffice than they have in the Hyperbola repo.
I switched back to my usual pub after "Ye Olde Fighting Cocks" was renamed "Ye Olde Peaceful Male Gallinaceans".
OK that right there is some pretty hilarious trolling. You're going to fit right in in the troll lounge @prospero.
I have always thought that all good trolling has to have some truth in it.
A very similar renaming suggestion was actually made by PETA some time ago. Seems that ye old cocks fought back and kept their legendary name and picture on these signs.
