FSF might find this suggesting nonfree, as some of the plugins are not useful without nonfree software (like Skype). But looking at Trisquel: they did not remove this either, so we might leave it as well.

mladen added a comment to T61: [FREEDOM ISSUE] smtube - uses tonvid.com SaaSS.

smtube isn't removed in Trisquel (http://packages.trisquel.info/belenos/smtube), and yes, it's free. But for PureOS as a privacy/security focused OS it would be better to drop this (IMHO, see again: http://tonvid.com/privacy-policy.php). Besides, smplayer already can play YouTube videos by default (by using mpv as a backend).

zlatan.todoric added a comment to T61: [FREEDOM ISSUE] smtube - uses tonvid.com SaaSS.

This is a think that just would cripple and not benefit anyone. smtube is free software. The service it is using is probably nonfree but than again would browser be considered nonfree because we can access YouTube with it? @mladen.pejakovic just point again to FSF list if this is considered by them nonfree as I think this would actually require a debate as software in usage here is free software

Is GeoGebra free and open source software?

Please note that GeoGebra as a complete software program would probably not be considered "free" software according to the definition of that term which is used by the Free Software Foundation.

@mladen.pejakovic Can you point to which one? Package in its build and depends per se doesn't have any nonfree dependency afaics, but it does have in plugin repo (once installed and you run the app and go to preferences) gmail and twitter plugis but afaik they are still free plugins (albeit to nonfree services but than that would render nonfree everything that can connect to internet and any nonfree service, website etc - first on attack would be browsers here). Also FSF reference to ti would be nice if there is one.

zlatan.todoric updated subscribers of T57: [multiple issues] chromium.

@mak how do you feel about this one. I don't feel easy to take and patch but maybe some users want chromium thus we would need to package iridium which again is not something I feel happy about it. I think dropping it will not create big issue in archive as chromium is pretty much self-contained but again, I am wondering how users would feel about it (or should we take it as granted that purebrowser is awesome and there is still epiphany, midori etc)?

kakaroto added a comment to T84: set the psmouse proto depending on the trackpad/librem version.

My current librem 13 v2 prototype has a fried touchpad, once I receive the final hardware, I'll be able to test and provide proper logs. For now, all I can say is that MrChromeBox who tested it on his prototype said that mouse scrolling/multitouch doesn't work in PureOS but works in GalliumOS. Also, when he tried to remove psmouse module then re-insert it with proto=imps, he said that it broke scrolling in GalliumOS.
The logs I have from before the mouse was fried had this in dmesg :
