@taylan Yes. I remember that when I discovered GNU Bash, after much effort, I modified the PS1 variable to alternate the prompt between 12 predefined colors, corresponding to the representative colors of the LOONA members.
@Suiseiseki >F-Droid is a robot with a passion for FOSS on the Android platform What is surprising?
For me, the problem is that the FSF recommends F-Droid and approves Replicant as a libre distribution that is not GNU, even though it evidently does not meet one of the basic principles of the FSDG: no malware—since F-Droid comes pre-installed in this distribution.
@privateger@Suiseiseki The problem isn't the software, but that the smartphone is a pocket-sized device designed for tracking and surveillance. Just considering the malicious decisions made during its design is enough reason to reject its use.
@Suiseiseki I just saw your deleted post (you shouldn't have done that). I had Trisquel on my USB drive, and the last time I used it on another computer, it worked fine. But I just realized it's reached the end of its life. I can't get past GNU GRUB even on my Parabola GNU/GNU Linux-libre machine. God willing, I'll try testing Trisquel again this week on dirty puter with a proper bootable medium.
@Suiseiseki I just successfully booted Trisquel on my computer with Parabola. I tried again on the Pentagon’s control terminal but couldn’t get past GRUB. I disassembled the USB flash drive and noticed several broken traces. I could repair them, but it’s really not worth it since the NAND flash memory has worn out. So, I got a new USB flash drive and managed to boot Trisquel properly on dirty puter. Everything seems to be working fine. I don’t care about hardware acceleration or ACPI S3.
Let me ask you a question, and I hope you can answer: is it possible to achieve the same level of freedom as Trisquel (theoretically 100%) by liberating Gentoo?
@Suiseiseki Thanks. I have repeatedly tried over time to at least test Trisquel on that Pentagon control terminal. Unfortunately, I can't get past GNU GRUB, even with nomodeset as a workaround.
