How I do my computing in freedom (GPLv3 x 10 = The Free Software Foundation turns 30)
1 I use a Libreboot X200 computer with Trisquel GNU/Linux.
2 Trisquel GNU/Linux is my preferred GNU/Linux distro, because of its usability.
3 I use the GNOME Desktop that is included in Trisquel.
4 I read and send mail with Icedove. I run my own mail server on a virtual machine.
5 I browse the Web using an unbranded version of Firefox and I use plugins to block non-free javascript and tracking cookies. I use Greasemonkey to run userscripts instead.
6 First time that I used free software was GNUChess on Windows 3.1 twenty years ago. Today I never use Windows, I use Wine instead.
7 I use VLC to break the DRM on DVDs, for High-Definition Video I recommend Lib-Ray.
8 I have never had a Facebook account and I do not use Skype, instead I use RetroShare as a replacement.
9 People sometimes ask me to recommend an email service. I can recommend FSF-endorsed Posteo.
X As a software developer I prefer the GNU GPL v3, because of its stong copyleft.
