Desktop Icons
by Kate Draven 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Hi When loading the desktop, trinity is centering the desktop icons. Is there a way to keep it from rearranging the icons? Locking the icons in place doesn't prevent the centering. Kate

Webmail alternatives (was Re: [trinity-users] kmail vs gmail problem)
by Robert Peters 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

This is something of a change in topic: Does anyone know of any webmail providers, with less spyware and ads, as alternatives to gmail? How do Hotmail and Yahoo compare? Or even an internet service provider? Formerly I used an ISP account, but it turned out to be blocked in China, where I travelled often. Robert

Backing Up !
by Baron 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Hi Guys, Thanks for the help getting this new machine up and running. I backed up all the required bits in the old ".trinity" and simply copied them into the same place on the new machine. Apart from one missing item in "Knode" all the links and passwords were restored perfectly. Great job from the TDE team. I only have one slight dissapointment ! The new quad core AMD is not as fast as the old P4 dual core yet the performance rating suggests that it should be at least twice as fast. Subjective, I know, but ! Thanks again: -- Best Regards: Baron

Backing up !
by Baron 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Hi Guys, I need to save and transfer all my Kmail, Knode settings and passwords to a new machine running Jessie/TDE desktop. However the machine I need to transfer from is 32 bit and the new one is 64 bit, I don't know if that makes a difference. Which files do I need to copy over ? I've already done a backup of "Home" though some files didn't copy at all but I think that they were things like sockets. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Best Regards: Baron

OT drivel
by westbound＠gmx.net 18 Nov '15

Sad how this list has degenerated to a platform for political or even "compassion" offtopic drivel. This is not doing the cause any good. This is the time to unsubscribe after years of mostly silent reading, as I am not willing to take all this ruthless spam anymore. Even sadder that not even the maintainer has any articulate opinion on this verbal contamination.

The Last Word On The Matter
by Kate Draven 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hello All, I didn't mean to start a debate. I don't think this is the place to discuss politics or religion in any depth. That being said, I have this last thing to say. My clan is old, we have made an effort to be existentialists. I think we did a grand job of it. During our time we've come to some simple conclusions. With very few exceptions, war rarely achieves any positive goals. War services only the few. Violence is rarely an answer. The differences between a soldier and a terrorist are simple. A terrorist will take a life for his beliefs, a soldier will save a life. A soldier believes in the preservation of innocence and freedom a terrorist doesn't believe they exists. A terrorist will celebrate and bask in the death of his enemies, a soldier will morn them and see their deaths as his failure to do his duty. All children, everywhere, are innocent. Regardless of who pulled the trigger, a crime was committed. Regardless of what uniform one wears. We must defend ourselves, we must prevent our extinction, the extinction of our freedoms, our way of life, of our innocent and innocence, but not at the extinction of another. Let's spare this forum political debates. Politics has never served anyone of any value and was created by the near worthless, to serve their goals. Walk away from it and learn to live in peace. I'm sorry for the disruption I've caused, it was not my intent. I had hoped it would be clear that any life lost, is something to morn for. I still think of the girls that were kidnapped from some middle eastern school to serve as "wives". I think of the children killed in that callous drone attack. If you need to hate, hate the chess players, both of them. Not the chess pieces. Kate

I'm so sorry, everyone, that was meant to go privately to Steven. I am getting thoroughly incompetent in my old age and I can only apologise and ask you to use the delete button. Lisi

Ok full stop to all of this. Just stop. This is a forum for development of free open source software and not a plateform for political debate. Nor is my emotional sentiment. This comes to a full stop now. Kate

Contacting people by their personal emails!
by Michael . 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Because I have now been contacted via my personal email by 3 different people on this list I'm going to say to anyone who thinks it is appropriate to contact someone only to then boss them about or be rude to them you are mistaken. I'm a Trinity user and as a Trinity user I will voice my opinion regarding any topic that comes up on this list. If my opinion upsets anyone I formally tend my apology. I will not stand back however and have anyone contact me privately and have a go at me when the topics are on the list for the entire global population to see and read. If you don't like a certain discussion discussion it is your right to stay out of it, no one is forcing you to take part in it but do not contact someone privately only to call them names, tell them not to pollute a mailing list, to tell them they have led a sheltered life, etc etc etc. If you don't like what I say that's fine, comment in the discussion that is going on and express your opinion. If you can't manage that do not contact me via my personal email so no one else can read your comments.
