It's mini PC that I manage to have it working only with FOSS, even the bluetooth, but it's a dongle with Bluetooth version 1.1 and I want to upgrade but keeping the system with FOSS.

It's a mini PC, no PCI or m.2 extension, it's connected to the internet through cable, but I also have WiFi dongle and a Bluetooth dongle that don't require proprietary firmware, but the Bluetooth version is only 1.1 which its limitations and I want to upgrade.

I'm already using one that doesn't require proprietary firmware, but it's Bluetooth version 1.1 which it has its limitations
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/21430107 > I'm having trouble to find a bluetooth dongle at least 3.0 that needs no propietary firmware. It's easy to find dongles advertised as linux compatible or users that claim that an specific brand works fine in linux, but the problem is that many of them are using propietary firmware without their users being aware because their distributions have already installed propietary drivers or firmwares, or ask users to install them and they just do it. I use debian main repository (without non-free software) in which I failed to make work a couple of linux compatible advertised dongles because debian ask me to install a propietary firmware. So if anyone knows for certain that some brand that needs no such a software in linux I'll apreciate your help.

Great job! thanks for your effort. It seems that it overrides the default settings of mpv. I tried adding options in the box in the settings like --volume=50 but it doesn't work.

Does it support playlists or at least a list of videos in the video link?

Yeah, I use MPV as a external player and it's great because you can highly customize the way you watch videos. I like equalize the sound and through a MPV script I save the video from cache with a keystroke if I liked it. Sadly watching with subtitles stopped working some weeks ago.

I don't see the reasoning "hackers with AI" is a vague, it's already happening. Scammers use deepfakes to steal $25.6 million from a multinational firm The software to do this is already available in github for anyone to use it. There's a billion market around phone scams, it's just a matter of time of widespread adoption of this technology by scammers. Scammers are swiping billions from Americans every year That's why I talked about being well informed and seeing the dangers. May be I'm paranoid but it doesn't mean its not happening.

The heat expands the brain and the raise of pressure against the skull induce criminal behavior. It's scientifically proven.

Well, it seems that my bad english made it seem that I am suffering of anxiety or something. I just don't like the abussive behavior of corporations and the government that exposes us unnecessarly to the risks of being hacked or scammed.

No daily anxiety at all, just being aware of the dangers. When I drive and see a red light I just stop, there is no anxiety involved, I'm just aware of the dangers of crossing. If you are not aware of the dangers of the excessive digital exposure and surveillance you should subscribe to this community and read what's going on in China and in an increasing number of western countries in relation to this.
During the past few years I was avoiding the increasing number of products or services that required biometric verification, specially face recognition (FR). But the things are getting harder are harder in my country: - The largest e-commerce platform in latin america and the most used in my country requires FR to use it. It was possible to use cash if you buy from its website but since a couple of weeks it's requesting me to identify using it's app. - The telecoms demands FR from now on if you want a new SIM card in case you lost your phone or it's been stolen. - The bank is now pressing me to use their app with FR as a 2fa when using homebanking from its website, something that wasn't necessary up to some weeks ago. - The government is in the same direction as it's moving to digitalizing many burocratic procedures and also requires FR. and the list is increasing quickly. I've never used any private social networks and I've degoogled many years ago, the only non free software that I use is Whatsapp because in some countries in latin america is almost imposible not to use it, you need it even to call to the car towing service. Anybody that is well informed knows the dangers of allowing such an amount of private information now tied to our face be available for hackers now equiped with AI, but frankly it seems a lost cause to fight against something that 99.9% of people dont worry about and give consent to do so to corporations (that sell all your data to whoever wants it) and governments (who use it as a tool of control). I don't know, may be I'm also worring to much and it's not that serious, after all if tens of millions of people do the same the chances of being targeted by hackers is not different of being robbed in the street (at least in latin america) and with the obiquitous surveillance cameras plus the almost unavoidable need of a phone, the government probably know exactly where you are and how you look, so the information may be already available. Perhaps it's time to give up and adapt to the world we now live in.

What I don't get is why they don't allow users to decide if they want to connect to Mozilla or not with an option in the settings. Libre means being free (to choose in this case), not being forced.

Debian is the first choice if you look for stability and the last choice if you are looking for the latest versions of the software.

A cool software for degooglers that makes a little noise every time your computer sends a packet to a tracker or Google service. EDIT: [There is also a Firefox add-on](https://github.com/rugk/googerteller) for web browsing.
