Few days ago I've realised that cryptocurrencies might be the "easy thing", the button that pays some money to authors that Stallman always gives as solution to sharing and compensation in his talks. Cryptocurrencies are pure software. As such they do not have additional costs and are easy to implement an integration for payment. Don't know why I haven't seen it until now. Might be the acceptance that cryptocurrencies are receiving lately that made me realise it.

Just killed by accident the Trisquel "update-manager --dist-upgrade" process. Oh the pain and misery!

Oops!
There is always aptitude/apt-get but the number of conflicts for packages is discouraging at first. It went well. :)

Ecphoneme - a browser addon for faster searches
2014-10-13T07:48:56Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers
I'm proud to announce my first Firefox addon Ecphoneme. It was inspired by DuckDuckGo !bang commands. For a first release it supports only few websites that I (might) use.
Of course it is free software (GNU Affero GPL v3 or later). Hosted at Gitorious and Mozilla addon pages. Any feedback is welcomed.

Show all 11 replies@Jacob Barkdull Anyhow, even if it really doesn't bring something new, I now know how to work with Mozilla addon SDK. :)
@Jacob Barkdull Somebody at Trisquel mailing list suggested similar approach with search engine extensions keywords. Is that what you've meant?
@Ivaylo Valkov The trick is having nothing but "%s" after "?search_query=".
It might be easier to just add YouTube to your Firefox's search, if it isn't already, and then go to "Manage Search Engines..." select YouTube and click "Edit Keyword..." make the keyword !yp.
Then entering "!yp mickey my friend" will kick you to YouTube results containing an awesome remix.
If you're having trouble getting it to work, others probably do too, that alone is a good enough reason for your extension to exist :-]@Ivaylo Valkov Wait, an even easier way to do it, just right click any search input form and click "Add a Keyword for this Search..." and it will do all of the necessary work for you.
I didn't know that, very cool!
Anyway.
I use this feature a lot, for example a have a quick search bookmark for Google Translate.
I bookmarked: http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&text=%s
With the keyword: trans
When I need to translate a phrase like "Kühles Kind!", a language I don't understand, I can simply enter "trans Kühles Kind!" and go directly to the Detect Language to English Google translation.
So the search extensions keywords aren't the only way to get the functionality, like TildeHash.com doesn't have a search extension, but I have a quick search bookmark for it, myself.2014-10-09T17:59:30Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers

Hacky browser session restore
2014-09-09T07:09:08Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers
I had a lot of tabs opened and for some reason the browser refused to restore the session, no matter what.
Well, I've hacked it!
grep -E "http[:\/\/a-zA-Z0-9\%._\?\=-]+" sessionstore.js -o |xargs abrowser
I have a lot of useless URLs opened, but it is better than nothing.
#happy
Refined:
grep -E "http[:\/\/a-zA-Z0-9\%._\?\=-]+" ~/sessionstore.js -o |sort | uniq | grep favicon.ico -v | xargs abrowser
Isn't Abrowser a fork/version of Firefox? I thought Firefox asked which tabs to restore after a crash, and you could unselect some...

Yes, abrowser is practically Firefox. It usually does restore, but this time all URLs were in the restore file, but it did not restore. I typed some combination and the browser just stopped. Might have closed all tabs.
It sounds like you're experiencing a known bug, Firefox 32.0 is supposed to fix it. I've never experienced this problem myself personally, however.Linterna Mágica Git mirror

Pump.io notes editing
2014-09-06T08:34:17Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers
Does Pump.io support editing of notes? If it does, is there a desktop client that supports this?
Yes, Pumpa and Dianara :-)
Thanks! It turned out my version of Pumpa was not recent enough.
Fixed! :)

GNOME weird application renaming
2014-09-06T07:28:21Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers
Can somebody share a link with the discussion about the renaming/simplifying the names of all integrated GNOME applications? I don't understand why they've changed the names of everything. I'm curious about the motivation behind this. I just don't get why and how the change helps.
I'm not sure exactly what has changed, but for example a new user isn't going to know they need to click on e.g. "Iceweasel" to access the web :-)
I'm not sure about Iceweasel. GNOME integrates with Epiphany (now simply Web). All applications switched to names closer to what they do.
I have absolutely no insight into this (I'm still on Gnome 3.4 on Debian wheezy), but my guess is that's the reason: a new user understands what "Web" means, have no clue what "Epiphany" is supposed to do.
That might be true, but still. All programs in the GNOME menu ever since 2.x had a descriptive string, not just the name. I just observe a lot of weird direction in GNOME since Gnome-Shell and 3.x.

Facebook discontinues chat in mobile app and forces messenger which collects way more (unnecessary) data. If you use Facebook, now is your chance to switch to pure Jabber client - over Facebook or not (not not not).

If there is still no RFC for federated/distributed social network, there should be as soon as possible. There are just too many projects working on too many protocols.
